Unglued: Making Wise Choices in the Midst of Raw Emotions

(Going to lump these together because a LOT of quotes)

* Perspective is a key to not coming unglued.

* I can face things that are out of my control & not act out of control.

* If I know there is potential good hidden within each chaotic situation, I can loosen my grip on control.

* I like the thought of "impossible" being erased from my vocabulary.

* Forgiveness is mandatory - reconciliation is optional.

* Do not check in with the screaming demands of the world before you exchange whispers with God.

* Satan loves it when we do his work for him by dumping on each other.

* Choosing a gentle reply doesn't mean your weak;  it actually means you possess a rare & godly strength.

* Feelings are indicators - not dictators.

* The one who holds their tongue is the one who holds the power.

* When we operate according to God's word - we operate according to God's will.

* Am I trying to "prove" or "Improve"?  Prove I am right - or improve my relationship?

* Gratitude diffuses attitude

Friendship for Grown Ups

I've lived enough life to know that my best intentions are no match for the enemy's brilliant use of the weapons of deceit, moments of weakness & things hidden. -Lisa Whelchel
