Working through the Darkness–Finding the Light #WordlessWednesday
Without getting into details, I’ve had a tough week. I’m emotionally drained. I feel like I’m a bit like the photo above–walking through the darkness, trying to find my way to the light, hopefully sooner rather than later. I took this photo while enjoying some time away with my mom and sisters late last year in Delray Beach. We stayed at a hotel right on the water, but to get to the water you had to walk through some tropical growth–just enough to make you appreciate the beauty of being in the light on the other side. I wanted to capture it on camera so that I could remember the feeling later. Now, looking back, I’m so glad I did because I really am feeling like there just aren’t words for where I am. I know I’ll get through it and remind myself that I can’t truly appreciate the light without having to deal with the darkness. #WordlessWednesday

Sorry you are having a rough time. Hope your week goes better from here on.
Your post and your picture remind me of one of my favorite quotes.
There’s a light that shines at the tunnels end, it lights my every step. It was actually from a heavy metal song I listened to as a teenager. But now that I am older and a Christian, the light it Jesus for me.

Thank you Lori. I thought of you last night as I brushed my daughters cheek watching her fall asleep. Pure heaven–and lots of light.

That is such a beautiful picture! Hang in there. There’s always a light at the end of the tunnel, so to speak. Sending big hugs and warm thoughts your way.

Hugs to you Desiree! I recently have felt like I have come out of the darkness of a tough time. I love this picture and that you have happy memories attached to it. You need to print this picture and hang it somewhere to remind you that even if you are in a dark place, you will always come out into the light.

Beautiful picture. Love, strength and prayers headed your way. Psalm 23:4 “Even if I go through the deepest darkness, I will not be afraid, LORD, for you are with me.”
