We had a conference meeting for one of my children yesterday. I have been very discouraged at how school was going for this child. It was becoming a very negative experience and I was ready to make some drastic changes. I called some people within the program and voiced my concerns. They put together this meeting within a week. It was a simple round table discussion to get some ideas to make school more successful for my child. There were nine adults in the room coming together for one little girl. I was impressed, and I was very encouraged when I left.
Through this experience, I am reminded to ask for help. So often, as moms, we tend to think we need to be superwoman, that we can do it all ourselves. That is a lie. There are people out there to help us through the tough spots in life. God has created them to be there just for you, to meet your exact needs. We need to seek help when we need it and we need to accept help when it is offered .
If you don't know where to start or what to do to find the help that you or your children may need, there is one place to start. On your knees. Start praying. Ask friends to pray. Listen to God's voice and accept the help whether you think you need it or not.
I lift my eyes up to the hills, where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. Psalm 121:1-2
