Friends,
We want to communicate you all how much we appreciate your continued prayers. It has been, and continues to be, an emotional week. Grief has been a very confusing things for us. We sometimes don't feel very much and other times we are immobilized with tears. Please continue to pray for us. We miss Anna Pearl so much. Sometimes things feel so surreal, it is hard to explain.
Through the services on Tuesday and Wednesday people kept commenting on our strength and our faith. We don't feel very strong and feel that our faith is weak. We do know that God is good and compassionate and does not leave us alone, that he feels our grief and knows our pain even more than we do. It seems a little abstract though. Please continue to pray for us as we know try to keep following Jesus without little Anna Pearl. What we were planning on in life seems shattered right now and we are not quite sure what is happening, and where God is leading us and what he has in store for us.
One thing I know is that I must live life to the fullest to seek God and serve him. To bring glory to his name and to do it also for our "little Pea". I miss her so much.
We wanted to thank people so much for all the prayers and gifts that have been given us over the past few weeks. We don't know who you all are but our hearts are encouraged by all that you have done for us.
Matt and Sarah
