* Are we all destined to drown??!!!

I feel like quitting. I want to quit life like you quit a bad job. Or maybe just take a vacation. Why is it when you grow up things get so complicated.I just want a simple life food and shelter for my family. How can that be so complicated? Why is there never enough for all? I feel like I'm literally drowning. I can't breathe, I can't sleep. I just don't know anymore. Life has put so much wieght on me I'm suffocating. No money for bills, no money for food. I don't even know how I still have internet when my phone got shut off?! What can I do? I feel so defeated. I don't have credit, I don't have cash and everyone wants their piece of me. WHAT CAN I DO???? No one can give me an answer! my family goes hungery because I have to pay part of the light bill (I don't have enough for all of it). People and families like me are becoming more prevelant in this state of "Taxachusetts". I and my family are not alone. But no one seems to care! They turn a blind eye to us because we ruin their picture perfect life. My husband works 50 hrs. a week I work part time( when I can get a free babysitter) we can't afford day care. We still can't pay our rent, car payment, electric bill, or worst of all groceries. Why does everything have to be like this? It all keeps coming every week it's something new piling up drowning us and driving us to homelessness. That's where we are. My husband, our two kids and me. we're on our way out. It wasn't always like this. We used to be set. Paying bills good food and dreams of buying a house. Two months of unemployment have pushed us over the edge. Does God know what He's doing? Have we been overlooked? Does He hear me praying everyday? We are just looking for that chance to have the simple life. Not asking for extravagance, just to provide comfortably for our children, and give them a place to grow up knowing that is THEIR home, and nothing is going to happen to it. We need a constant, something steady. OUR LIFE SERENE.

    I understand exactly where you're coming from. I too am drowning and it's causing problems between me and my fiancee'. I prey everyday that things will get better and it seems like I'm just too much of a sinner to be considered. My family doesn't think that me and him fit into their perfect picture either. They think he's a thug and just useless and the feelings have affected us. We can't ask anybody for help and it seems like no way out. All i can offer is to keep hope alive and hopefully God will look down and help us all.
