Straight Talk about Navigating Disappointment
Everyone experiences disappointment from time to time. How we deal with it, particularly if it’s ongoing, can make or break us and our relationships. Disappointment comes in many shades and textures. It could be something minor like the AirBnB looking infinitely better online than it does in real life. Maybe we experience disappointment when we realize our co-workers don’t take the mission of

| There are definitely some compelling ideas in this book. Women need to understand how we have been conditioned to nurture and serve others while ignoring our own needs. I totally agree with this. But one does not have to be a first born to fall into ...more | |

Autoimmunity and the Good Girls: How Permission to Put Ourselves First Has the Power to Keep Us Well:
"I picked this up hoping for something that spoke to the real complexity of living with a serious autoimmune disease. What I got was a wellness memoir built on a self-funded survey with conclusions that amount to: you got sick because you were too muc"

Autoimmunity and the Good Girls: How Permission to Put Ourselves First Has the Power to Keep Us Well:
"Let me begin this review with a definition and background on myself. In autoimmunity, the immune system gets confused and the body mistakingly attacks its own healthy organs and cells. It can be genetic, triggered by stress or environmental factors. "

“On a day-to-day basis, we try to distance ourselves from the unseen realm (see Eph. 6:12) because spiritual warfare offends our postmodern sensibilities. We find it easier to believe that our spouses are hopelessly dim-witted rather than attribute our frustration to the thief who wants to steal, kill, and destroy (see John 10:10). It’s imprudent to assume there’s a demon inspiring every moment of marital friction, but it’s also foolhardy to ignore the larger spiritual reality.”

“Self-awareness means that we see our sin patterns, are grieved by them, and work to overcome them. It means we acknowledge our limitations and their cost to our spouses. To be self-aware is also to admit that we can’t get past our sin and brokenness by sheer determination or intellectual prowess; we need Jesus. If you don’t know what those areas of sin and brokenness are or how they influence your relationship, go ahead and ask your spouse—but not until you’re ready to hear the answer.”

“The Christian says, 'Creatures are not born with desires unless satisfaction for those desires exists. A baby feels hunger: well, there is such a thing as food. A duckling wants to swim: well, there is such a thing as water. Men feel sexual desire: well, there is such a thing as sex. If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world. If none of my earthly pleasures satisfy it, that does not prove that the universe is a fraud. Probably earthly pleasures were never meant to satisfy it, but only to arouse it, to suggest the real thing. If that is so, I must take care, on the one hand, never to despise, or to be unthankful for, these earthly blessings, and on the other, never to mistake them for the something else of which they are only a kind of copy, or echo, or mirage. I must keep alive in myself the desire for my true country, which I shall not find till after death; I must never let it get snowed under or turned aside; I must make it the main object of life to press on to that country and to help others to do the same.”
