Hopeless or hopeful?

Situations sometimes appear hopeless but I haven't ever felt hopeless. Hope is the thing that keeps us humans going. Those of us who believe in God have an extra big helping of hope. I have been in the situation where I didn't feel like anything would change. I did what I felt was the right thing to do. In my case, I cried myself to sleep a long time until things got better. I have found that doing the right thing has always given me hope that things will improve. Knowing what the right thing to do is, is the trick of course. Here is hoping for some hope to come your way.

The banks and financing companies tell us we have too much debt ratio to get a new mortgage on our house. It's not that we have increased our spending radically. It's that our income has decreased radically due to changes in both my health and my husbands. Right now we are waiting to hear from ANOTHER mortgage company that thinks they can help us, but I don't have hope. I am waiting for my disability benefits which should provide some relief....Some days, especially when creditors call, I feel pretty hopeless. When I am sure to remember the love of God and my family, I feel better.

Situations like that are difficult to deal with. I went through one like that not so long ago and I don't know how I survived. I do try to look at things as half full but it's hard.

Since we had a housefire a couple of years ago and things went from bad to worse fairly quickly, I threw myself into working. When at work I thought nothing of my homelife after about a year and was able to find balance. Since I had no other choice that to keep doing the family thing, work thing, garden thing etc I managed to work through the darkest times. Even though we are not still yet on our feet and back to square one which is all I am hoping for, we do have a bit of light showing at the end of the tunnel. So to speak.
