A little over 7 years ago, there was one word that I dared not speak aloud. There was something going on in my life that I was too scared to speak of. Looking back, I didn’t even realize myself what was happening. I was struggling. I was in a dark hole that I could not seem to pull myself out of. I couldn’t say it to my husband, I couldn’t even admit it to myself until much later.
Depression.
The Lord has done a great work in my life and I can now share ~ with hope ~ about my times in the valley and my times of deep darkness. I share because I know there are many of you that struggle, too. I share because when we are open and authentic with one another, we encourage one another. So many have encouraged me along this journey, and I pray that I can encourage you as well. When we go through anything difficult in this life, I truly believe a big part of God’s plan is that we share with one another so we can encourage and lift one another up.
I have a guest post on Homeschooling with Depression over on my friend Marcy’s blog…I hope you’ll join me there to read the rest!
