The Struggle is Real.......

The struggle is real..........in everyday life everyone has them and yet sometimes we think our struggles are so much more overwhelming and stressful than the next persons. That is not true........
The struggle is real, the fact that you see your child go through something you can not fix or help with, The struggle is real when you feel guilt, like a failure, like you do not matter. The struggle is real when your child's anger is solely directed at you do to circumstances that no one asked for. The struggle is real, when there is so much hurt, and sadness surrounding the family that each one has to deal with on their own. The struggle is real when your heart shatters in to a gazillion pieces when you see a parent bury their child even more so if it is your friend. The struggle is real when you see people get literally handed almost everything because they play the system and lie, yet your family is barely making it because the income is to high and I refuse to put my sob story out there for the sake of my family. The struggle is real when you have to hold things in and say you are peachy because there is nothing anyone can do to help so you do not burden them with what is going on. The struggle is real when one of your best friends hubby can no longer work because a tree fell on him and they have to fight for disability and I want to help them so much but my hands are tied. The struggle is real for every one but, in a different way. when we see people, we do not know what their life is like, we have no clue what hurts they are hiding, we do not know the fear or sadness or anything about them yet their struggle is real to them, We can not judge them it is not our place to. The struggle is real when something you have been taught to believe in your entire life something to trust in and you struggle with that. Yet believe I continue to do because I do not know anything else to do and the one constant that has NEVER changed has been God and even though my struggle is real He will carry me through it. Even when I struggle with Him. All the heartache, suffering, sadness, pain, depression all of it the struggle is real but the one Hope I have seen in my life more often than not is still there, The struggle is real when your child questions your faith and whether or not it is the right one for them and the piercing sound of my heart shattering once again is very loud in my oh so hard of hearing ears. The struggle is real when you have something within your reach yet it is so far away. No one ever said life was fair, easy or always fun and God did not ever promise not to give us more than we can handle because He will give us a lot more just for us to lean on Him. we have to learn to do that but like I said The struggle is real............
