I'm done for.

This is the last, you know, I'm done.

But then if you read long enough, I start seeing –

So why are you so downcast in me?

Hope in God.

Like talking, you know, the psalmist talking himself almost into, I have to keep remembering where my hope comes from, and I got to keep going back to that.

Otherwise, I am, you know, going down for the last time.

And so that journey and that process for us was...

I felt like that was like three steps forward, two steps back, sometimes 20 steps back.

But it was just continuing to anchor to that hope that, God, everything we feel right now.

And that was the hardest thing for me, just letting her and being safe enough in that truth that –

you know, I can let her go wherever the emotions are going to take her and not feel like, oh, I got to fix it.

I got to fix this.

She's feeling hopeless.

She's feeling, you know, it's like, God, you're, you're going to take her on her own journey.

But what I've

What I can do, the most loving thing I can do is just keep running back to what is the only thing that will sustain my heart through this so that there is – and if I can hold on to that anchor as a father, as a husband, then they will be able to –

hold on to that anchor as well through, you know, through maybe even through me.

It's going to be their own journey, but I want to be that.

I want to be that anchor in trusting you and running back to this because that's the only hope that we have.
