Fork Stuck
I'm so frustrated. It seems like every time I ask a certain person in my life for help-- or explain that I need something more from him, he turns it around on me and I become the person who can't do things on my own. He just wants to "empower" me to get things done with out help..... ARG I don't know what to do. I stuck. I need help from him and he won't help me. I get this response from him often, and sometimes I can deal with it and just become independent and do things on my own, and sometimes I freak out to get his attention (which I do). Neither is healthy. Neither is who I am or want to be. I want to need his help. How do I want to need his help when he doesn't want to help me? Is that healthy? Like I said, I'm stuck. I'm hurt. I'm frustrated. And suggestions?

I know it is hard to do for me and I'm speaking what I often don't do (but what I always wish I had done afterwards), is to be patient and to pray and lay it in God's hands.
In Luke 9:1-6...Jesus sends His disciples out and tells them to take nothing with them, not even a change of clothing or any food. He wanted them to learn to depend on his providence for them absolutely. He wanted them to see that He is ABLE and WILLING to fulfill every need.
And then pray for this person and that God would work in their lives to become the person that God called him to be. And just have faith that God will perfect the good work that He has begun in both of your lives.
I love you and am praying for you.
Thank you for your advice and prayers. I don't know how to be all things for my family and still fill filled up myself. I need God so much more than I'm getting.
