I know how you fell. It seems that everyday I am asking God to forgive me for my words. Sometimes I feel like I can never change.

I too feel like this book was written for me! I can totally relate. I feel like I tend to become “unglued” especially with my children because they are the most important/valueable responsibility I have. I so desperately want to do my very best with what God has entrusted to me for the next 18 years, however, that also puts a great deal of pressure on me to “be perfect” or “get it right”. I pray that through this study, I will be better able to do the job God has laid out for me with control of emotions. I adore my family and long to hear God say…”well done my good and faithful servant”! (No pressure on me… – ha ha!)

Elisabeth, I can totally relate to you. I’m only 32, and I just had a complete hysterectomy last month! ( Aug. 22) I too have been dealing with chronic health issues for the past few years. I can totally empathize with how you are feeling! My weight has also been an issue, and a HUGE factor in depression and anxiety. I’ll be perfectly honest here, I am very blessed and very grateful to be sitting here typing out this response to you. Just two weeks after my surgery, (3 weeks ago)I overdosed on my pain pills. I spent 3 days in a locked unit. So yea, sister, I can relate 100% with menopause, and all the craziness that comes with it! I don’t think us women anticipate going nuts right after a surgery like that either! But God is with us! He has a greater plan for our lives, regardless of our circumstances. Regardless of our health or our size, we are still HIS daughters! We are still created in HIS image and likeness! We are still BEAUTIFUL in HIS eyes! And no matter what we are going through in this life, He is going through it with us, because He loves us! Hang in there sister. Keep your head up! Great things are going to happen in our lives. This Bible study, is just the beginning of an amazing journey for us! God bless you sister!

We are all beautiful in God’s eyes… I am sure you are beautiful to others as well; when we look in the mirror we never see what others see “BEAUTY”. May God hold your hand through all this and you lean on him and trust him, God Bless you.

During the last two years, I’ve encountered a new series of struggles in my life that I pray this Study and others will help. I’m just 47 years old, had a surgical hysterectomy in December 2010, have always struggled with my weight (not morbidly obese), sleep apnea, job stress, relocating to the other side of the country, anxiety, and menopause. Does anyone out there relate?

My personality has changed as well. I’m not willing to accept those times when I believe I have been “disrespected” and just chalk them up to someone else being themselves. I also have a deeper respect for my own mortality. I have a rare diagnosis which is benign but chronic and had a recent breast cancer “scare”. God is with me throughout…I just find it tiring after two years to be dealing with the menopause symptoms as well as the snoring and weight gain. I don’t look like the Lord’s daughter these days…

I was so very excited to read this book! I am super excited to be reading through it again! Reading Unglued has touched me on many levels. After reading through a few of the comments below, I can already relate to ALL of them. I know that I am in the right place. In a way, it seems that I was “raised” to be a UNGLUED woman. Yelling and screaming was all I have ever known, and sadly, it’s pretty much all I have ever done. It seems like it’s a daily thing for me to have screaming matches between me and my husband or my three teenaged sons. I know deep down inside, that that is NOT the woman God created me to be. I know that there is a warm, tender, loving and gentle woman in there. It’s time for her to awaken and arise. It’s time for her to show her wonder family the love and gentleness that they as Children of God deserve! I know with all of my heart and soul that through God’s Word, and through this Bible study, God will continue changing me and molding into that beautiful tender-hearted woman He created me to be. May God bless each and every one of us women as we embark on this incredible journey to become better wives, better mothers, better sisters, better daughters, better women!

Ditto! Have the best of intentions. Went to find my book and can’t find where either I misplaced it or one of my little ones moved it?! I’ve read chapter 1, but have not gotten to the 2nd one yet. Prayers for helping me find my book, please!!

WOW this is fun. I just purchasd the book( Unglued ) today and read the first chapter. Meaty stuff. I have four children and I take care of my mom (she lives with us and has Alzhiemers) and I work full time so this is exciting sharing with others on line for the first time on my time.Thank you sooo much. I totally can relate to the “towel” thing in chapter one.Almost every morning getting my two younger boys off to school 20 minutes away…i feel like coming “unglued” and sometimes ” I do ” !! I praise God one minute and sing to him then the next breath is yelling at the kids !! I was just thinking today Matt 12:34 -35 says that ” out of the heart the mouth speaks” I real absolutley terrible after yelling and I think…wow my heart needs some serious work!!!!

Being disciplined is getting easier, but some days not so easy. I try to control my reactions. What do we do when people intentionally try to get us unglued?
