Life how hard it is to understand

Life, how hard it is to understand. 
LIFE is so hard and for the average person let alone a religious one is even harder. I believe LIFE is like a your own personal book and has many many chapters. The chapters can be easy or can be hard. They are your trials and tribulations in which your faith is tested. 
When I was trying to explain this to my children about faith, they were full of so many questions that even made me have questions my own faith. I just told them that we are tested and it is up to us no to lost faith. 
As I was coming along in these past years, my faith has been tested. After divorce, losing my job and  losing our home I felt that the whole world was against me and my family. My faith was so being tested, I remember a good friend was comforting me in church and she stopped the priest to ask him if he could help me with what I was going through and his response was "Your doing a good job" he proceed to walk away. I never felt so alone and rejected by my priest from my childhood church. I walked away and didn't look back at the church. 
But life has to go on and you have to trust your own faith in the Lord and that he has plans for you. You just have to trust your own gut and move forward.
