H.E.L.P.
Asking for help doesn’t come naturally, it can actually feel like a chore.
Independence and self reliance, is this not what we all strive for?

Guilt, shame, trauma and pain.
The things that hold us back.

While prideful barriers of protection go up and surround us like a wall.
The ability to trust others, doesn’t seem very appealing at all!

Those of us who have been hurt before, you understand the patter.
Hold onto these for too long though and we become blind to what really matters.
What if reaching out looks like letting go?

Isn’t that careering out of control?
Independence, self reliance, grasping hold of control.
All these things on the face of it seem okay, but aren’t they actually taking a toll?

What happens though when we just………..STOP.
Just for a moment and fix our eyes on Jesus?

In the midst of the chaos, peace comes down like a free gift from heaven.
A life changing second, a heart surrendered and in letting go there was no collision!

Instead, a resounding peace, a beautiful calm, a rescue plan in motion
A life arrested, a soul contested, freedom from an isolated prison!

These are just my thoughts on being stuck, the difficulty of reaching out for help, my struggles and
vulnerability and ultimately what brought breakthrough for me.

We are opening Restore Cafe with the aim to provide a safe space and an opportunity to reach out for
women in the community of Seaton. Why not start reaching out today, by planning to come along!
Whatever reaching out looks like for you today, don’t be afraid to ask for help.
