My Struggles are REAL!

People always tell me that I'm one of the realist people they know. I appreciate that because I have no reason to be fake. I have struggled and embraced my struggles. I have been homeless with 4 kids, I have gone hungry just so they can eat, walked miles to grocery stores just to put food on the table and went broke to take care of their needs. My struggles are why I am the person I am. If I see someone in need of something I am very quick to lend a hand even if I don't really know the person. I do this because I know what it's like to be at rock bottom. There have been times where I wanted to just give up and sign over my parental rights to my mother but I knew that would be the COWARD way out. I learned to channel my spiritual connection with God and pray my way out of situations. Sometimes God will leave you in the midst of hard times to show you that HE is all you need! I have learned that over time. I don't let my struggles define me I let them teach me. So the next time u are complaining about your job or how your car is tripping or the fact that you don't feel like cooking or spending time ALONE....think of me because to this day MY STRUGGLES ARE REAL!!
