Like really talk. About us, about where things have felt a little unclear, and how easy it is to let silence or assumptions start filling in the gaps without even realizing it. We get into our relationship, the “what are we” type of tension, and what it actually looks like when you stop avoiding certain conversations and just say things out loud. But it doesn’t stay in one place we also talk about career, direction, and what we’re both trying to figure out individually while still figuring out how that fits together. And faith is woven into all of it how it shapes the way we think, the way we handle timing, and how we try to make sense of what we’re stepping into right now.

Like your prayers were going unanswered? Like you were stuck in the middle of a story that just won’t move forward? David did too. Together, we break down the emotional journey of this psalm from the plea, to the exhaustion, to the fear, and finally to a faith that doesn’t ignore the struggle… but holds it.
