Everyone's story is different; in reality, there are no ideal circumstances.

However, when you have something called faith, it can help you move

mountains, which often turn out to be molehills when you understand the

purpose of life's obstacles and challenges. We can complain, we can give up

in the face of tragedy, and sometimes we have to cry, scream, yell, or vent to a

best friend, pastor, or therapist. Through each trial and tribulation, we grow

deeper roots in the soil of faith, like the tree planted by the water (Psalm

1:3). We may take detours or want to disconnect, but once we have tasted

and seen that the Lord is good (Psalm 34:8), we understand the source of our

strength.
