I Came Unglued at Church #Facepalm & a NEW Unglued Giveaway!

Giveaways

 Some might remember, last August I flew to North Carolina to be a part of Lysa Terkeurst’s live Webcast for her newly released book Unglued.   (I’m at around minute 29) Well since then, the book Unglued has hit the New York Times Best Seller list and has stayed there for weeks on end!!!  Hooray!  And now Lysa has a new devotional coming out titled Unglued Devotional: 60 Days of Imperfect Progress.

Renee Swope, Me, Lysa Terkeurst, Kelly Stamps

 Not long ago – I came unglued at church.  #Facepalm  Oh yes, yes I did.  And it was not pretty.  You see my kids are in a Sunday evening program where they earn stickers for memory verses and service projects. And one evening we messed up and turned in a service project that did not “qualify”.  Being the rule followers that we are lol!, we apologized and went home and did another service project.  Then we went back and turned the new one in.  And again – it did not “qualify”…and that’s when it all went down hill…I became unglued.

Oh friends, if only I could turn back time and keep my mouth shut.  I went from talking to one leader to being passed off to the leader of the leaders – a dear friend of 10 years.  And forget that she and I were friends…I was on a mission to get my kid his sticker!!!  There we stood in a hallway with about 15 other people around, having a heated discussion about the definition of “service”.  

 Oh seriously – really? – at church? – two sisters in Christ who honestly love each other — who have stood shoulder to shoulder “serving”.  We’ve made 30 meals in one day for the meal ministry, just me and her and one other friend.  We’ve “served” for over 5 years together in the nursery.  I sat and watched her baby while she threw up with morning sickness in her shower, she showed up at my door with a meal my first week home with my newborn baby, we’ve studied the Bible together,  and have watched our children play and grow up together…and I’m haggling over a sticker in the hallway of our church!  #facepalm

Well, I got my sticker…but I acted like a fool!

The following Sunday, I walked into the worship service and sat down.  The Pastor announced we would be taking communion that morning.  We stood to sing and this friend came to the end of the pew and motioned for me to come with her to the hallway.  Ummmmm can you say awkward?

She went right to the point and shared how she couldn’t take communion without coming to me and making things right.  Then she proceeded to apologize {dagger to the heart}.  Not only did I act like a fool but now here she was making things right – while I had not even considered apologizing.  I assumed that since we knew each other so well, our heated discussion was not personal…but who was I kidding? I owed her an apology- goodness, I came unglued on her over a silly sticker!  My heart melted – I apologized too.  We hugged.

And then we took communion…  

And as I looked down at the cup of red drink and the bread in my hand – shame washed over me – shame for my failures. And then as I took and ate it in remembrance of Christ blood shed for me on the cross –  I found grace. Grace through my friend’s forgiveness and grace through Christ’s blood that covers it all.  I am so thankful for God’s grace that stands in the gaps of friendships that have been hurt through unglued emotions.  

Have your unglued emotions hurt family relationships or meaningful friendships?  You are not alone…  Go to the cross – go to your friend and make it right.

“Do not comform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is – his good, pleasing and perfect will.”~Romans 12:2

We won’t develop new responses until we develop new thoughts.~Lysa Terkeurst

I love Lysa’s new Unglued Devotional: 60 Days of Imperfect Progress.  It is a follow-up devotional to her best-selling book Unglued: Making Wise Choices in the Midst of Raw Emotions. It is such a comforting, encouraging, inspiring and convicting devotional.  Lysa is honest and wise as she walks her reader through the imperfect progress we all need to make with our emotions.

I’m excited to get to give a copy, along with a few other fun things, away today

    19. Thank you for sharing the Truth to all of us “glued up girls.” It is good to become unglued so that our Lord can make us right with Him, and therefore with one another. Love is all that is left standing.

    20. Thank you so much for being honest. We are so many times not honest with yourselves, God, and the people we hurt. I have always wanted to read Unglued. I have heard some ladies from my church read it and really have enjoyed it. It’s time to me to get alone with God and grow. I have four kids – littlest one is 2 1/2 — no alone time. 🙂 Thank you for your blog. In Him…

    21. I can’t figure out how to leave a comment! Lol. Only a reply…. I hate it when I come unglued. Wish there was an off switch. I know it takes discipline and of course the help of our God in heaven.

  9. Rest easy, we have all become unglued at one point or another. I am in the midst of Desperate and loving it but would love to also read Unglued. Truly, we are human, thank goodness, and we are not perfect but thankfully we have a Lord who sees in us the promise.

  10. I have become unglued many time! lol..Recently at my husband, who was happy to sit and do computer work (which did need done) while I packed and mowed the grass! Yup, I had to come say I was sorry, because I was so miserable!! I would love this package! 🙂

  11. Thank you for being so honest! I just recently started reading your blog and I love all of your homeschool ideas and love how devoted you are to being a godly mother and wife. Your words are definitely encouraging!

  17. I am entering for the giveaway, but I also want to share something with you. I have been following you for a few years now and find comfort in almost every post you write. It’s amazing how we can all be so different, yet still the same. We women are from various backgrounds, but our hearts for God and the commonality in our failures let us know that we are not alone. Thank you, thank you, thank you….for sharing your stories, being so candid about your thoughts and emotions, and encouraging us Christian women who are struggling everyday to grow into the kind of people He wants us to be! 🙂

    1. Krystal, you are so right. I have learned to appreciate my sisters-in-Christ who share their hearts so openly. What an encouragement to the rest of us and it teaches us to keep going!

  19. Thank you for telling us your “unglued” story. I have been in the same place as you and came unglued at Church. And I know it is not easy to admit we were wrong. I have to do it all the time. Why do we do these things? Because we are human, but that isn’t an excuse. I appreciate all you do for Christ. You are truly a blessing. Thank you

  24. Oh my, I think I may need this book. I have a nasty little habit of coming unglued. Even if I don’t win, I think I’ll buy it. Love your service to our Lord.

  25. I have recently come Unglued at a situation in my family. I did not handle it well and felt terrible. I know this book will be a blessing to whoever wins. I love Lysa’s books. I am so glad you are back from your break from blogging.

    P.S. I shared on FB and Twitter your post. Good Luck to all who enter.

  32. Oh wow, I can think of so many times I have come “unglued” – even if I didn’t say it out loud, I did it in my head, or worse, I vented to someone else instead of confronting and dealing with it. Thanks for sharing your story and being real with us!

  37. I read this book last year, and it came at a time when I REALLY needed it. Such good perspective and guidance to Christ through human shepherding of emotions that are sometimes hard to navigate. In my case, someone had become “unglued” at me, and I needed to take grace toward her, and Lisa’s book helped me to process the situation. I was especially helped by the phrase. “We cannot control how someone treats us or chooses to act, but we can choose to control how we respond.” Anyway, I’d love another copy and the study and all those freebies! Yes please! Thank you Courtney for sharing this personal story. I was teaching at a Christian school before I had my babies, and I sometimes couln’t how “unglued” some Christian parents could become over a little misunderstand with THEIR CHILD! I learned a lot from it. It’s very normal to have that mama bear instinct when our children are involved…that’s why we need the Lord’s ballanced and proper humanity through His making His home in our heart through our failures when we take His blood. Praise Him!

  44. We are studying Unglued in our weekly ladies study. This is the BEST Bible study I’ve ever been a part of. Probably because it’s just like reading all about me and my life. Daily.
    I’m so excited to see that there’s a devotional book!

  64. What a wonderful post; thank you so much for sharing! We are going through the DVD series for Unglued on Wednesday nights at our church. It’s been such a blessing! Thank you for sharing your unglued moment. I was just telling a friend at church tonight after watching Lysa’s DVD that we grow and learn in moments when we are most transparent. There are so many times I have looked at women I admire and then look down on myself thinking I’ll never measure up. However, when you see the “real” them, you realize they have the same struggles you do and are being renewed each day as well.

    Reply

  69. I enjoy reading your blog…you sound like a REAL person with REAL struggles…just like the rest of us. I have a friend that is going through something almost like what you did and I would love to win this and then I would give it to her. (And no, the issue is not with me, but with a shared friend…I’m somewhat in the middle even though I am not taking sides, I love them both).

  86. This book has done so much for my life. I love all the practical tips she gives, and it’s so obvious in Lysa’s writings that she’s sharing from firsthand experience. I loved it!

  88. I think I’m the queen of “unglued”-moments!! I don’t know why I speak out of turn & lose my cool when my emotions flair. I REALLY, REALLY want to learn to get my point across with grace or to just let things go. Would LOVE to win Unglued!! Soooo glad for you that you worked things out with your friend! Friends you feel that comfortable with are rare! You are very blessed!

  104. Oh, My! I can not begin to describe how much I need this book/devotional/giveaway. With 4 children ages 5,4,3, and 1, (yes, I had 4 in 4 years and 1 month… crazy… I know!) I come UNGLUED on a daily, no HOURLY bases it seems. I am trying do hard to rein it in, but I have know idea how to. I am trying to homeschool my little ones, and to top it all off I am disabled (Brain Bleeds) as well. (Noise really tends to bother me, and can set me off). Can’t wait to read this book! I, also, just received Desperate by Sarah Mae. Can’t wait to start reading that one as well.

  106. Courtney I just want you to know I love love love you! I know we don’t personally know each other, maybe one that will change, but I love your heart. I love that you are so honest and real with who you are and your shortcomings. Yes sister Praise God for his Grace and his loving convictions. It is because of his Grace and those convictions that we stay on track. Your heart is in a good place. Thank you for allowing Christ to use you and thank you for this giveaway.

  107. Both, the unglued book and devotional sound like something I need to read, especially in my situation! I’m going through a not-so-pretty divorce and I’ve found myself with bitter thoughts and harsh words lately. If I don’t win, this will definitely be something I will have to save up to buy!

  117. Thank you for sharing your church story about coming unglued. It is uplifting to know I’m not just crazy and other women do this as well. We are doing this study in church and it has been great so far. I am now kicking myself for not buying the devotional when it was on sale, because I’d really like to have it to go with the book I got. But now you have given me a chance to win it, so thank you for that chance. Plus I could pass the book itself onto a friend who would enjoy it as much as I am.

  125. I have been struggling with changing my “unglued” moments to soul controlled moments – hoping that soon they will be changed to God controlled moments – where I can allow the spirit of God to reign in me! My ladies bible study at church just finished the Unglued book by Lysa. I was able to sit in on a few. Lots of encouragement and sound advice. Thanks for this post and for the chance to win the giveaway!!

  131. As a mom of 3 kids (12,9, and 4), it’s very easy to come “unglued” in my house. Out in public is another story for me, if I’m not in control, I at least try to make it look like I am…at least until we get home. I think the most common place for me to come “unglued” is at the grocery store with all 3 kids. They all start asking for this that and the other thing. I’m usually trying to get done and get out…Anyway, I read a few of Lysa’s devotionals sent via email from Proverbs31.org and really enjoyed them. Would love to win, but will probably buy the book if I don’t.

  136. I SO need this! I just delivered my son, Isaac, at almost 24 weeks along in my pregnancy and shortly after he died in my arms. I have four children and a husband at home that I am trying not to become”unglued”with since. This is an area in my life that God is really calling me to work on in my life and I would love the opportunity to do so with “Unglued” Thank you for the opportunity. God bless.

I’ve studied anger books and prayed, and it has gotten better, but I’d like to finally be able to control my emotions all the time, rather than my emotions controlling me. I’d love to have this book.

  184. Thank you for sharing. I have a “hot button” and when pushed I can come unglued quickly. Although my kids are grown I get angry and will come unglued if anyone says anything against my kids, primarily my daughter (a wonderful Christian wife and mother.) I’ve said and acted pretty harshly with my husband over this. It doesn’t show Christ like love to anyone and know the conviction you were talking about. Thank you for being so open.

  207. Confession, becoming unglued is my biggest fault, heck my nickname in my family was dramaqueen and crybaby. I’ve learned to take better control as an adult and morther but it is a daily struggle for me. I’m a very emotional person and fall apart easily. I’d really like to win this. Good luck to everyone.

  211. Great thoughts and I love the honesty. I’m reading The Cure and it talks about the different masks we put on. So often, we put on a great face, yet inside we are screaming a different story. Makes me think. I need to read Unglued!!

  222. Sometimes it is so hard to be transparent…. Most of my Christian Life i have lived”unglued”. I was never discipled, and we all know how important that is, so i would spend the next 15+ years floundering around trying to figure out what thus Christian walk was all about. I can still use all thehelp i can get.

    Reply

  226. Courtney, I just love your heart! As I read your Church story all I could think was “oh, how I’ve been there”! You have a good friend & I love that she would come to you before communion & make it right. Then to experience God’s mercy & grace and the reminder we are indeed dependent on Him at all times and we’ll “never have it all together”! Hard sometimes but beautiful! Thanks for the opportunity to win this package!
    In Christ, Amy

  231. Thank you for sharing your heart in this post. I’ve become unglued so many times and knowing that others who have walked a longer walk with Christ have also become unglued is just such a blessing to my heart – to know that I’m not alone. Praising God for His grace and love – and for sisters like you who let us know we are not alone in our struggles! God bless!!

  237. I would love to read these books. I have been trying to learn how to not become unglued and/or how to handle it and make it right when I do. Perfect timing for books like this. Couldn’t get the share to work on either Facebook or Pinterest 🙁

  247. When I first became a Christian I thought women in the church were perfect Christians, wives, and mothers. It didn’t take long to realize my faulty thinking. Appearances are deceiving. After 16 years as a child of God, I have come unglued many times myself. I am not proud of it but thankful for a God who forgives and gives us nuggets of help from His Word to overcome these times. I am always thankful for women who share the truth about living the Christian life. May we all seek to grow closer to God in 2013!

  256. Wow, this may seem a wierd reply for a giveway but what came up for me as I read your post was how this situation could have a lesson for you. What if your friend was showing up to help, and in turn model for your son, what it is like when we have not met the standard set? Yes, it is about service, but if there were “rules” to follow and you were a “rules” follower than why would it upset you that she is upholding the rules? This could be a great learning experience to release you from the attachment that you always following the rules and make an “A.” You are loved even when you haven’t met a standard. We are always loved, it comes in many forms. Just my thoughts…I honor your honest sharing.

    Reply

  312. Thank you for being so transparent about your unglued moment! I believe we all can relate to your story because we can all come up with an unglued story and probably several of them. My recent unglued moment was after my car accident. After several days of not sleeping well due to the discomfort in my neck and back coupled with a nursing infant and several solicitors coming to the door in one day and when finally the house was quiet and both girls sleeping at the same time for the first time ever and I finally lay my head down for nap when I heard ANOTHER Knock at the door. I yelled from the couch and said “What is it? (In a loud and rude tone). I opened the door and saw our mailman and his daughter standing there with our Girl Scout order. I immediately felt embarrassed and such shame. Of course I apologized humbly and profusely and explained the background information in hopes they may understand my unglued moment. Of course, they forgave me, but every time I see our mailman I think of this incident, and I have to remind myself that I have been forgiven of that and many more unglued moments. I pray for more self control in the moments I feel like I am just going to lose it. I haven’t read the book Unglued, but would love to so I can apply what I learn in the hopes that I will be a better wife, mother, daughter, friend, neighbor, and witness for Christ. Thank you for the Giveaway opportunity!

  336. saying I forgive can be an easy thing, but doing it, showing, and meaning it is the hardest. How we come unglued in front our Christian friends and worse those who are not saved is not a good example to our Father. I like the comment about glue and that is God’s GRACE.

  346. I have really become unglued alot lately, losing our jobs, moving hundreds of miles away with nothing but clothes and restarting my life all over again. I thought I would deal with it alot better having my family around and more time with God. I just am not getting to that point maybe this could give me a better perspective on things and help me catch myself before I unglue on some poor unsuspecting soul again. I know I am not right with God or other doing this .

  372. How fun Courtney. And what a blessing you can be to another sister in Christ. This sounds like a great read that I could apply more right here in my own household starting with my husband – boy you want to talk about raw emotions and then with 6 children, 3 of them being homeschooled. I would love to be able to share this with my two oldest girls 16 and 13 – (you want to talk about raw emotion – whew!). Not to mention the coffee. Maybe Hannah(16) and I could get a coffee and discuss these important things.

    I am so glad I found you. This week has been very encouraging as I minister to my husband – God is so good!

  396. Oh, this has happened to me! And it’s so humbling to realize that I’m not as spiritually mature as I *think* I am. I’m trying to be an example of Christ and his love, and then one day I’m sleep deprived or grumpy and my sister-in-law (whose salvation we are praying for) pushes me over that edge… the sad thing is, it’s never worth it. Worse, I feel guilty that I am setting her back in finding her place in the church, because she sees me, a Christian, acting this way.

    Anyway… thanks for the giveaway!

  431. How funny! I just heard about this book from a friend. I was looking for our next women’s group study, and and she suggested that we do this book. I haven’t read it yet, but after hearing her tell me what it’s about and how wonderful it is…and now seeing it on this blog, I think is God’s way of telling me that this is our next study. Having spent a majority of my life letting my emotions be in control, and now trying to help others avoid my “crazy” mistakes.. I can totally see how this book would be a blessing to so many. And it seems like it will tie into our current study on the 4:8 Principle and help us to keep “renewing our minds”. Has anyone used this book in a group setting? (I have about 20 women) Any suggestions?

  437. “Unglued” is my middle name!! I can become unglued over the most ridiculous things. Especially if I feel one of my family members has been wronged. You really convicted me today, Courtney!! I just had an “unglued” moment with a teacher. I feel I now need to apologize to her. Even if I felt I was right and she was wrong, my attitude and attack on her was very un-Christlike and very disrespecful to her as my daughter’s teacher. And the horrible example I set for my daughter!! I cringe even thinking about it. I am going to get ahold of this teacher this morning and make things right with her. Thank you for your blogs. They always speak to me where I am at at that very moment.

I’m looking into changing that type of nursing. Please pray that I make the right decision as it will involve me working on Sundays but it’s a job I’ve always wanted. It’s closer to home, it’s less stressful and it wil give me the opportunity to be off more days with my kids do that I can continue to homeschool them. I also have a passion for sewing and if I take this job, I can promote my business more. JennieSews.com

  466. I love your blog – you are so honest about your feelings and things you have done – where most of us would have hung our heads and not shared with anyone! I am desperately trying not to become “unglued”. My daughter has a huge exam coming up in May, which at the tender age of 11 is unfortunately too much of a huge deal where we live. We are all struggling to deal with it calmly and full of faith. Just this morning it got too much for me after I dropped the kids to school. And, I started to doubt her ability AND Gods’ ability to help her through! Opened up my bible and what did I see but Mark5:36 where it says “Don’t be afraid; just believe” What a wonderful calmness that soothes the soul. He’s always there for us – if only we just BELIEVE!

    I’m currently reading Desperate – would love to be entered for the Unglued giveaway!

Thank you for allowing God to use you to speak to the hearts of your sisters in Christ! I would love to read this book!

  469. Thanks for offering this giveaway, Courtney! I got the book from our library and only made it half way through when I had to return it for being waaaay overdue! What I did read helped me tremendously… But a daily devotional would help me so much keep it in the forefront of my mind every day.

  475. This devotional really touched my heart! Too many times in this life I find myself coming “unglued” about things that really don’t matter. Thank my heavenly Father that I can ALWAYS look to Him to glue me back together according to His plan. Just for today …. I will remember to “GAZE at The Master and GLANCE at my problem!” Be blessed today !

  476. I had to scroll quite a bit to be able to comment. Your blog left me in tears today as I thought of my own broken and lost friendships at church. Those relationships are invaluable to me. Yet, I find when I become unglued the hardest person to forgive is myself. I know what I’ve done and said even if others don’t and I know God sees that. Coming to terms with the mere fact that I am going to come unglued from time to time can be tough as I want to do “it” perfectly. Yet, I know what I learn from those unglued moments; forgiveness is always available, humility, and God’s unending and amazing grace. I need those lessons but pray I hurt others less and less as I progress down this journey. Thankful for your share and inspiration to keep writing.

  479. First of all, I love your blog. It comes along at just the right times and brings me back to my center. Thank you, and bless you for that. I would like to be entered for the give away. Reading this post I could not help but to think about my cousin. About 7 years ago I became unglued about some family things and really took it out on him and his wife. I hope that if I am blessed enough to win, I can start taking the correct steps, with God by my side, to start communicating with him again and rebuild that relationship. Thank you for considering me.

  482. Refreshing to know that i am not alone with coming unglued, thanks for sharing this story and so many others to help us to understand that we all share the same struggles sometimes. This study would be nice to do with a group at church.

  483. Can I just say that I totally did this yesterday? Thank you so much for your honesty. The Lord has definitely been showing me my selfishness that has led to anger (and ultimately coming unglued!) so much lately. Thank you for your reminder of Jesus’ overabundant sacrifice and grace for us through the taking of communion–Matthew 5:24 in real life. God is good!

  486. Thank you for sharing your story about coming unglued. It opened my eyes to something that I know I need to do but am afraid of being rejected. I am sure everyone has came unglued at some point in time in their life.

  491. Thanks for your blog posts! They are encouraging, refreshing and supporting! As I read your story and about the giveaway, I thought about dear friend of mine and I’d like to win the giveaway and give this book to that friend of mine. I’d love to read myself but at this point I see that my friend needs this more than I do! Pinned it too!

  497. Thank you for sharing your heart this morning and being so honest! I too have had similar experiences with coming unglued… It is hard to see it in the moment because we get so fired up about the situation, but once things cool, we see more clearly. I would love to be entered into your drawing! Thank you for all you do! Stay strong!

  498. Thank you for sharing with us your “unglued” story and being so vulnerable with us.
    That really goes to show how human we all are and thank God for His Grace!
    I have a toddler and we’re planning on another one this year so the opportunities to become unglued are many…would love to read this one.
    Thank you again and much love!

  503. I have been unglued as well! Mine was not at church but after, grumbling and complaining, the whole nine! And with my kids around to boot! Sheesh! Why can’t I get it right! I would love to read this new book by Lysa! I am also sharing this on Twitter! Can’t Facebook until next month as I am still in rest! Blessings!

  531. Would love to have this. I can come unglued over some things so easily-then later I feel so “UGHHH!” Been trying to watch it and breathe more to avoid the unglued moments.

  532. I am struggling with becoming unglued while doing school with my kids. I have reached my limit and am debating sending them to school for purely selfish reasons. (Sending them to school would not solve the heart issues involved here.) Thank you for this giveaway.

  534. Hello, my name is Christy and I come unglued WAY to often! I have wanted to start this series for so long!

  535. What a humbling article you wrote. Who hasn’t come unglued at one time or another. The most important thing is to keep growing in the Word so we do not come unglued. But, the next most important thing is to make it right when we do come unglued. Blessings

  537. Wow- how inspirational! I’m a newcomer to your blog- but it has been such a blessing to me already! Please enter me in this drawing. I would LOVE to start a Women’s Bible Book Club using this book. Sometimes we as women get so busy that we forget to not only take time for ourselves, but we forget to take our time with God. Wonderful resources for women. Thank you!!

  544. Oh Courtney. It happens to the best of us, for which we can be so thankful for God’s enduring grace…given to us through the ones who love us on earth.

    Hoping to teach this to a small group of women in my community!
    Thank you for sharing!

  548. Dear Courtney,

    Boy I had to fight back the tears on this one! Thanks for sharing a not so perfect moment with us. We are all on the same path towards grace, and I don’t know about you, but God’s grace has certainly gotten me through not so perfect moments.

    God Bless You Dear!

    In Christian Love,
    Gerri

  549. Thanks for sharing. If we are honest we have all been at that place at none time or another in our lives. I sure have; more than once! The most recent was with a friend of 14 yrs and recently with Gods help I just mended a 4 yr rift with a family member who I came unglued with. It crazy the effects it has on our lives and the ripple effect it causes in others. God bless the ministry you, Lysa, Renee and others have when your ministering to the heart and soul of women who strive to be Christ like.
