"Food for Thought"

Just wanted to share this and her website she is so inspirational! I follow her daily!

"When someone criticizes we must quickly discern if they are trying to help us or hurt us. If it’s hurtful, realize their criticism says a lot more about their insecurities than our inadequacies."

We can’t fix whatever hurt caused them to lash out. But we can decide to stay calm and not compound the hurt. “A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. The tongue of the wise commends knowledge, but the mouth of the fool gushes folly.” (Proverbs 15:1-2)

She is also the author of "Made to Crave" which is a study I did in my growth group at church over the fall. She taught about how food shouldn't be our focus when we are sad, angry, happy etc or first reaction should be to go pray, give glory to God and realize that our blessings come from him. Food is only a "quick" satifaction in our human life but God is an eternal satisfaction.
