Oh, I’ve been unglued.

I am not proud to admit it, but it’s true.

I’ve been unglued. I’ve been unhinged. And I’ve been unable to keep my crazy under wraps.

There was the time in middle school when two teenage boys were bullying a friend and me, that I slammed my fist down on a glass tabletop to get my point across {we will not be messed with} but all they heard was the sound of table shattering.

There was the time in my early twenties {right before my sister’s big day}, that I let a little squabble elevate into an full-blown family brawl. {Thankfully no food was thrown and we both made it down the aisle later that weekend.}

And there was the time a few years back when it felt like someone ripped my heart out and pulverized it with a wooden club, that I couldn’t fake a smile if my life depended on it and floodgates the size of the Hoover Dam couldn’t slow down my raging tears.

In each instance, my emotions got the best of me. I acted out. And I felt ashamed.

But as Lysa TerKeurst explains in her new book, Unglued,

The one who holds their tongue holds the power.

My feelings are indicators, not dictators.

And … I can face things out of my control without acting out of control.

These nuggets of wisdom {and the countless others that Lysa shares in her lastest release} should be required reading for those of you, like me, who from time-to-time find themselves coming a little unglued.

So without further adieu, go here to purchase a copy of Unglued. For a couple of you lucky readers, Zondervan has generously shared 2 copies with me to giveaway.

When was the last time you became unglued?
