Hope Begins In the Dark

If you struggle with depression, especially while on the road, driving alone for hours or days can make each one seem unbearably dark and long. You may be isolated in your truck and feel as if there is no hope for brighter times ahead. One of the things I find interesting about flying is being able to rise above a cloudy, overcast sky and eventually see the sun against the blue sky. Sometimes it’s hard to remember that the sun is still shining above heavy clouds – we just can’t see it. While thoughts of better days ahead may not end your time of depression, this can be something to hold onto to give you hope. Thomas Fuller said, “If it were not for hopes, the heart would break.” Where does your hope come from? Who gives you hope in dark times? Give us a call and let’s talk about this. Comment here.
