Yep, I'm one of those people.
I don't like to ask for ...

I just don't
and that's bad...very bad
But I LOVE to help others
source
and that's good... very good.
Soooooo what happens to the person that likes to help and never asks for help?
People think that you never need help...that's what.
They think that you have it all figured out
source
I sure don't
They think nothing fazes you
source
They're WRONG WAHHHHHHHHH!
They think I'm super organized because I help them with their messes
source
I need lists to remind me of other lists...and those lists are under tons of lists that I have ignored for months
I always think that problems of others (even if they are the same as mine) are bigger and more in need of attention...but as my Sister-in-Law always says....
" A pebble in a shoe is a pebble in a shoe" Which means dear bloggy buddy, that everyone has problems and some might seem bigger but even the seemingly small ones bother and hurt.
Recently, I have decided to lay it all out there... and ask for help when I need it.
Ya know what happened when I tried to open my mouth? Another person opened theirs first....and lets just say that I will keep that pebble in my shoe a little while longer, while I go and help my friend with their boulder.

A pebble in a shoe vs. a boulder in a shoe, yes, the boulder needs attention right away, as you said.
ReplyDeleteHi Terra, thanks for stopping by! Have an awesome day.... Hopefully there'll be no boulders or pebbles in it! 😊
DeleteYou are putting others before yourself, which is selfless and commendable. It is the life of a true Christian. But at the same time, we need a balance in our life so that our life is uncluttered. I, myself have struggled with this. When do you draw the line at helping people, when do you ever put yourself first? I have found that prayer helps, asking God to let us know how much is enough. But there is no easy answer. We are put here to help others, so is more better all the time?
ReplyDeleteHi Ginny, I completely understand! I am trying to balance it a bit more. I still have such a hard time asking for help...how about we pray for each other! We can ask for strength!!!😊
