I’m learning in all this that the complicated things don’t faze me, it’s simple mundane tasks that give me anxiety. I’m realizing that asking for help is not something to ashamed of even if I still do feel shame. Full dependency on God looks like His fellow children every day. It seems I have to ask for help every single day. I have to not see this as failure. My mind has to rewired completely. I wish I were joking. To be so intelligent, yet feel so inept. So inadequate. The things I have to ask help with would make you laugh. If it were funny that is. I’m embarrassed of all the things I need help with these days. You all said to let it out, so here it is. I’m glad God doesn’t laugh at my needs. Some days it feels like I can follow directions correctly
Sending love on this Saturday
Happy Saturday
ReplyDeleteAsking for help not only helps you, but it allows whoever helps to have a purpose.
ReplyDeleteI admire your honesty and your bravery, my friend. And, please know. You are not alone. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteYou should definitely not feel ashamed to ask for help! But I would probably be the same way so I can relate… I hope your Saturday is a good one :).
ReplyDeleteYou are speaking from the heart and are to be much admired for putting yourself out there. I am so proud of you Regine. Don't be embarrassed for showing your vulnerability. It is your strength. God Bless you my dear friend I am sending love and a big hug, Denise

ReplyDeleteGod will never laugh at your needs and neither will we, Regine. I do love what Debbie has suggested here, dear friend.
ReplyDeleteBeing vulnerable isn't easy, thank you for trusting us. I pray the Lord pours out His grace to you, and you become overwhelmed at how much He loves you.
ReplyDeleteGlad to read, God Bless.
ReplyDeleteVulnerability is part of us all. It's brave of you to share.
ReplyDeleteBlessings and hugs,
Betsy
Your honesty is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThere’s something so real in what you share
The fact that you keep asking for help, even when it feels uncomfortable, says more about your strength than anything else. And you’re right... God doesn’t laugh at our needs. He meets us in them.
Sending love back to you
We all have to ask for help at times in our lives. And we also have to be there when someone asks for our help. It's just what we're supposed to do. I hope this month of May brings you plenty of surprises and good things, my dear Regine. : )
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't feel good to have to ask for help, but on the other side it feels good to give help to those who need it!
