There's really two parts to asking for help, when you think about it.
There's the "please help me" -- the part where you ask for help. That's hard enough.
But the real heavy lifting is in actually hearing and accepting whatever help is offered; without ego, without defiance, without resentment, without filters...
Sometimes in life it's taken almost everything I have to just ask for the help. Anything more than that felt like it was beyond me.
As dramatic as that sounds, it's true.
Thankfully, when I run out of power, I have God as my power source which has never failed me when it comes down to it.

I just want to drop a note of encouragement to this blogger to continue posting. As a blogger myself, I know it is hard to tell if anyone is even reading or getting anything from the posts, but I know they are. Even if they aren't I find it therapeutic for myself. Keep 'em coming and God will bless your faithfulness in putting the truth out there in faith.
