I reached a quote in the book that really struck a cord with me.
"...disappointed desire is what hurts you. The problem lies in who is responsible for the want. It is your want, not his. You are responsible for getting it fulfilled. That is a rule of life. We do not get everything we want, and we all must grieve over our disappointments instead of punish others for them.”
Cloud, Henry; Townsend, John (2008-08-22). Boundaries: When To Say Yes, How to Say No (p. 153). Zondervan. Kindle Edition.
I am not sure if it spoke to me so strongly because I actually got absorbed it or because the realization that the only person I can change is me. I can change my expectations, how much I tolerate, and my reaction to other people's actions. They make their own choices and I can either be proactive or reactive.
Voices of reason (and NO i'm NOT hearing voices):
- Let go and let God
- Be still
- If he'll bring you to it, he'll bring you through it
- Keep your chin up
- His grace will cover you
- Be strong
