Amazed

This last week and beginning this week have been filled with chaos and trying to solve problems for other people. Trying to relieve the stress of those around me, while all the while my own stress was building. One day a major problem got solved, then 2 days later it got unsolved and has escalated into a total mess. In dealing with this, I've seen human nature at its worst. On another hand, it has been refreshing that my ultimate outlook on this is that I've done all I can to fix the situation and if the others involved don't want to accept the outcome, there is nothing more I can do.
On top of trying to make sure this situation was taken care of, my own difficulties have been brewing. I finally decided to ask for help. Last week I joined my church and even though I haven't really made great connections, I felt that I just needed to make the leap and that I was in the right place. Anyway, I realized this weekend that I wasn't going to be able to pull myself out of the stress of overdue bills by myself; that the income I was counting on making its way into my account wasn't coming when it needed to. So, I humbled myself and asked for help from my church. Without the 3ed degree or any long process, I was given the help I needed, no strings attached. It still blows me away that I'm truly being taken care of. It was such a fabulous reminder in the midst of a pulling my hair out kind of week, that Someone has my back! For so long I've failed to believe that I would ever see no strings attached help. Its refreshing to see a bit of hope.
