Beth, today we're talking about how to hope when life is hard.

We're hoping all season long.

Yeah.

That's kind of what's been happening here.

Yeah, if you were part of the live yesterday in our Advent channel, we kind of talked about this a little bit.

Steph, catch us up.

Yeah.

And so it was, yeah, it's just, you know, Sarah Sarah Sarah Sarai it's hard for me to say

sarai because I just think of automatically the Spanish pronunciation what is it

Sarai even the way you're saying it I'm like sarai how do you say it Sarah I

Sarah I know I've always tried I've like think about it

say it and say it how you just said it Sarai or Sarai Sarai Sarai I've never said it that way

Saraii or definitely not like that anyway we've talked about you know how she's hoping and

and even like the the some people were sharing how like the laugh that she gives is like a, it could be a defense could be a like an automatic response that we're used to for sure.

Just different trying to have a defense up when we when something seems too too big for the Lord

too marvelous for the Lord and we're just like no that's okay and then it's like this nervous

laugh walk away type of thing yeah or even like a kind of resignation like scoffing like

like am I gonna yeah you know but you know what I was really comforted by because in

the devotional Liz put Abraham's part of the story in there and then um Sarai

sarahe how do you say said I no oh sarai sure. They put Sarah's right after that.

Yes.

And I was like, he laughed too.
