Asking for help requires a high level of maturity. No one should be expected to mow the entire back 40 by themselves.

            The first line of JC says “COME TO ME when you are weak and weary.” I think sometimes we are so weak and so weary that we don’t know we are. And in accordance, don’t know where to go. Who to ask?

            Romans 8:26 says, In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express.

            There it is.

            As my friend, Terri, wrote yesterday. Stop being a Rookie. Stop making those same bad decisions and choices.

            In essence, find a mentor.

            You might start by using the ‘great mentor’ as your guide.

            Arrogance only breeds more arrogance. It is in the humbling where we can truly grow. And there is no age cut off line here folks!

            At our weakest point God is still there with open arms waiting. Like a good parent who waits on their child to ask for help. OH! Help ME God.

Helplessly yours,
