Asking for help can help develop you and get you out of sticky situations.  It opens up avenues of activities that would not have been there otherwise. Provided you are focused on your goal, you can quickly assess what is useful to you.

Someone once said “Why go on a journey alone when you can invite others along?” That’s a motto now close to my heart.

Zoe is multi-talented with an excellent spirit. She is hot on quality control.  As a result she found herself overstretched when she was establishing the regular magazine at church.  While she motivated writers to contribute, getting the  commitment to editorial quality was a challenge.  It was only when she sought help with handling this aspect of work and trusted others with it that she could move on to other things.

Today, the quality of the magazine  is as high as when she was involved.  She had grown the department and moved on.  The seeds she sowed into that enterprise are still recognised today.
