Surviving a thing called "Life"

We as adults here this all the time. What doesn't kill us makes us stronger. but is that true? Is that really true? It may be true but it doesn't feel like it. It sometimes feel like the hands we are dealt and things we deal with feel like they are going to destroy us and tear us down until we are nothing. For example, living pay check to pay check really is a struggle. So much at times it feels like your never gonna make it back to the top. Looking into your cabinet and its empty is also a struggle. Sometimes it makes you feel like a failure as a person because your cant provide for your family. I'm sure i'm not the only one who goes through this but that doesn't make it better. You sometimes feel like there is no ending to the cycle. Then something else happens in your life that just makes everything even worse. You never know what someone is going through. then on top of everything you cant seem to wanna better yourself. you don't have the energy to change your eating habits because you've turned to food to help deal with what your going through. what an awful cycle. you start 2nd guessing everything you know and believe in. you wonder what God is trying to teach you. what is the lesson in all of this for you? Other people aren't going through this. people you know are fine and happy. you try to be that way but its hard, its really hard to be happy when it feels like your life is falling to pieces all around you. then you go to church on Sunday and are reminded that you are okay. that sometimes life is just rough even though your life has been rough for 10 plus years or so now. and it feels like you and your family cant catch a break. you feel like when is it going to be your family's turn to feel happy and stress-free. when is it going to be your family's turn to see something you want and no questions asked you all can go buy it. Then you go to church on Sunday and remember why your family have to work hard for the things you want and sometimes you still don't get it. you remember that your family doesn't need expensive things or things at all. you remember that when you and your family work hard for you all want your more appreciative of those things and are grateful. your family survives life with God's love and each others love. you remember that your family is okay and that everything is going to be okay because you have God's love and each other. So when you wake in the morning your just like the other people that you know and don't know, your happy. Your happy to be alive, your happy that you and your family are able to see another day, and your happy that your family has each other and God's love. Tha'ts how my family survives life. That's how i survive life. Its difficult and there are days when i want to throw in the towel but i just remember that my life is my life and that i have a family that loves each other and has God's love. We have each other and God's love. that's surviving a thing called "life"
So until next time 
We got this!
