Like, and so that was it.

And so I think I always relied on my own self for everything.

You know, relied for myself to, you know, figure things out and to have a certain mindset and to do whatever.

And I think that my whole life, I really, really, really longed for

I longed for that love, that just that strong relationship with a father.

You know what I mean?

I think, you know, I love my mom to death, but you always think like, man, I wonder what it would be like to have that, that father daughter close, like loving relationship.

because it's a different right different one shapes you it shapes you differently and so there's a part of you that always longs for it and and as an adult in my early 20s it's still something that you know you long for and I think that you kind of feel like that that emptiness for and then once I encountered Jesus and once I started having a true relationship with him it's like

he tripled that whole like he he overflowed me with love and with so much peace and understanding so much peace and understanding that I was able to actually resolve my pain and resolve my past pain and resolve my relationship with my dad and now the place that you know you know now the place that my father and I are in is is such a beautiful one is one that

I didn't think that we would have right now.

I never thought I'd have this kind of beautiful relationship with my dad.

And I just, it astonishes me.

Truly, I think that God is real.

God is present.

And he loves you so much that when you accept him in your life, he fills every part of you.

You know, he fills every part of you and he mends your heart.

And I've never felt this sense of peace and security and protection in my life before than now, like having a relationship with God.

And

And I don't know.

Yeah, I just I really see like my faith, like my belief in God, like it's a gift.
