Strengths and weaknesses

1 Corinthians 12:4-11

“Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit;5 and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord;6 and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who empowers them all in everyone.7 To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.8 For to one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit,9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit,10 to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the ability to distinguish between spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues.11 All these are empowered by one and the same Spirit, who apportions to each one individually as he wills.”

What are your strengths and weaknesses?

I catch myself all the time thinking that I can do everything. I am not really sure why I continue to think I can do everything, but it is one of those habits that I always catch myself doing over and over. Why is it that we try sometimes to think that we can do everything ourself?

I have heard and talked to many people about this idea of doing what you are good at and leaving the other stuff to someone else.

The big ask, has always been a problem of mine. I have always had a hard time asking that question to give up your own time to help me. I dont know if that is just human instinct or if it is me being dumb, but the big ask always seems to stop me from getting people to help.

How do you make that big ask? Knowing there are many more people that are much better at administrative stuff than me, why cant I seem to tap into them and ask them for help? I know there is many more creative people than me, why do I feel this pull that I have to create everything myself?

Any thoughts?
