when to ask

The other day I was working. It was not a typical day CBC was playing there rival school BBC. I work at the snack shop during our games and we just switched to only having one person per game working. So much to my surprise that the first day I have to work alone is this game. I figured I could handle it, it wasn't going to be that bad right. WRONG!

As I was trying to open up shop and working hard to hurry and get stuff ready a line started to form. When I looked over my shoulder from the popcorn machine there was a line almost out the door. That is a very big line. In complete shock of the size of the line I started to get nerviest. How can I do this all on my own. It was such a hug task. I almost lost it and wanted to cry. There were so many people. Then I heard a girl ask over the counter do you want help. YES I said. She started helping with the popcorn. Then on of they guys in line texts my boss and to them that I was needing help and in a matter of minutes I had five people helping me. The line calmed down and soon every one left and I was back to myself running the snack shop.

Half time came and I had two other helpers and we worked like clock work. Over all that day seemed stressful and overwhelming but with help it was easy. From this I can easily say that I have learned something and that is when to ask for help. Before I even opened up shop I had a girl come and asked me for help. In my eagerness I told her I would be fine on my own. But in all honesty I should have used her help when she asked. So many times I think of how I can do it all on my own and when it does get overwhelming I finely ask for help. But instead of waiting for help I should have taken its at the first chance.

So here is the application for this story. In every day life we think we can handle it all on our own and that we do not need outside help. Then when everything comes crashing around our feet that is when we cry out of desperation to God for our help. Wouldn't you think it would be easier to take His help when you are doing fine and learn to walk and lean of Him and His understanding during the easy times, so when the hard times come it would be second nature to rest in God's strength when difficulties face you.
