Why is coming unglued not all bad? It makes me realize that I have work to do on my inner self and need to spend more time with God and listen to Him more. I need to be less verbal and more watchful to see what it is that sets off my unglued moments. I am an exploder and “oh boy” do I explode. I say hurtful things to the grandkids and then I am sorry but words sting deeply and can never be retrieved and that is bad for all. The children are eleven and twelve and they have been with me since infants. I am the only “mom ” they have ever known and it is terrible to realize my words hurt and saying “I’m sorry” won’t stop that hurt. Emotional hurt is a different type of pain. It makes one think he/she is never good enough, cannot ever please, doesn’t know how to do things right, etc. Please pray for me that I will stop coming unglued and make imperfect progress in this area. I need to show Christ’s love to these little ones. They were abandoned by their mother and need to feel they are really, truly loved and wanted. I really needed to do this Bible study and will no doubt read the book many more times and continue in my unperfect progress. However, there is a good ending to this. I now realize that I am an exploder and I find myself keeping my mouth shut and waiting until I think it through to say anything if and when it needs to be said. I know they are little people and have feelings too. They need to be shown sometimes how to do things instead of leaving them to figure it out for themselves. They seem to have ears but don’t listen. They have “selective hearing” if you know what I mean. I really come unglued when I hear, “Oh, I forgot.” or “I didn’t hear you.” So my imperfect progress is slower than some but it is coming along. Thank you Melissa for your book. It has been a tremendous help to me and my family is also benefiting from my studying it too.

Sorry Melissa! I just started Chapter 9. Just fell so behind, I’m a bit disappointed in myself because you made the study so fun. You are a great encouraging leader!

My life is like a puzzle. All the pieces interlocking, and holding each other in place. That’s good except the picture the puzzle shows isn’t perfect. Coming unglued shakes up the puzzle, and leaves spaces between the pieces. These spaces are where I can work and fill them in with God’s presence. Coming unglued allows me to have room to change, to see others in a manner more filled with grace, and to realize that my “picture perfect puzzle” life isn’t really so, until it’s God’s picture.

Okay, as much as I don’t want to agree – I have to. Being broken takes us to our knees – so we can go to God. This is why being unglued is not so bad. Did/do you ever have the negative chatter where you believed that “if they saw the REAL you, and then they wouldn’t/didn’t like you, much less love you”. I loved it when Lysa said that kind of thinking is a problem. There aren’t two me’s… It is true, if we believe God doesn’t accept part of us, then that would make God’s love unconditional. His is the only true – UNCONDITIONAL love. It amazes me, that she can point out so many things that appear to just be our way of thinking, but in fact are unrealities that we misconceived somewhere along the line, and now believe they are true.

I really enjoy her view on Adam and Eve – wow , a whole new perspective. How awesome!

This book has spoken to me during a very emotional time in my life, and has helped me see, and not come Unglued as often. And now when I do, I view it as imperfect progress.
