The real struggle

It’s payday but the money is going to bills and overdrafts in my bank account. This is the struggle people don’t often share with the world.

This is my struggle when it’s only Tuesday and I have to make this last for the rest of the week while taking my kids to and from school every day (the buses don’t run inside city limits).

But this is the struggle I will overcome, right as we speak I’m putting in more work to have what we need. I say this because we are stronger than we give ourselves credit for. #reallife #struggle #momlife

... Read moreFinancial struggles can often feel isolating, yet many experience similar challenges. Managing money on a tight budget requires creativity and resilience, especially for parents balancing work and family duties. Many families face choices about necessities like food, transportation, and education. Budgeting tools and community support can help ease the burden. Online resources and local programs may offer financial assistance or workshops designed to empower individuals in their financial journeys. Developing a savings plan, however small, is vital for cushioning against unexpected expenses. Moreover, sharing experiences related to financial strife creates a supportive network. Engaging with communities online, utilizing hashtags such as #financialfreedom and #budgetingtips, fosters solidarity and inspiration. Strength comes from acknowledging struggles and seeking help when needed. By cultivating open discussions about challenges, we normalize these experiences, and together, we can work towards finding solutions. Engaging in honest dialogues about personal finance and sharing tips can lead to lasting changes in how we approach our financial lives.

This is vulnerable. I'm struggling. Mentally, emotionally, financially, and it's really wearing me down. You make too much for assistance but not enough for survival. It's so so hard these days. And I don't see any light at the end of the tunnel #singlemom #relatablemom #work

THE STRUGGLE IS REAL….
The hardest part about success is that nothing feels rewarding in the beginning. No applause. No recognition. No guarantee it will work. Just late nights, self doubt, failed ideas… and the decision to keep going anyway. Most people quit during that stage. Don’t. Your future can cha

Christianity changes you. But it doesn't happen over night. Sanctification is something that takes a lifetime. Unfortunately we aren't perfect. we all still and will always have (until God calls us home) a flesh that desires sin. What we should do is desire to not sin. So we thrive daily, a
