You will get to know God in great ways when you stop worrying about receiving the help He wants to give. <--- Did you read that? It's help that He wants to
give! He works through His people to help take care of us, and it's awesome. So say yes when people offer. And don't feel bad about asking. God's people are really quite wonderful!

I'm living through this right now as we are in the middle of A LOT at our
house (details and announcement to come soon). But here's one little specific thing:
Â
We announced our upcoming Adoption Party at church on Sunday. So many people want to join us, and a lot of them said, "How can I help?"Â
Â
In the moment, I didn't know. So I told them I'd get back to them. AND THEN I DID.
Â
I made a list of all that needed to be done - from food that needs to be made, to reserving the park, to getting all the food to the park, and serving it. Then I started texting people who had offered to help and I handed out jobs. My to-do list suddenly became manageable. And now many families get to play a part in making our girls' adoption day special.
Â
It is so beautiful. I am so thankful. :)

Ask for help. You'll be glad you did.
