Dear Friends,
I have been thinking for a while about how to continue to post some - because I have been so encouraged in the past three years, and particularly in the past two months, as I have been able to share with many of you from far away, many who I don't know how else to keep in touch with, and many whom I don't always get to share these kinds of things with. Your prayers and encouragement have meant so much - and I find myself both needing that and missing a chance to connect with you as we had on caringbridge. Caringbridge has been wonderful - but it feels like that is the place where we walked together the journey of Brandi's cancer, and now that she is with the Lord, a new chapter has begun for the three of us, and it seemed like a new place to share would be good. So I have started this. I am not really very good at some of the technical and aesthetic parts of this, but I hope it will serve.
So here we go. I will post something of substance soon, I just wanted to get this up there now.
Matt

I am so glad to be able to hear more about how you're doing, and love the subtitle. Blessings to you and your children.

ReplyDeleteMatt such a great idea. I am excited to continue to stay in touch and to pray for the three of you on this new part of the journey. I am also remembering Brandi's Mom, Dad and brother in my prayers.

ReplyDeleteMatt, thanks so much for inviting us in as you and the kids start this new chapter. Still praying for you both on my own as well as with friends. Much love, Katherine
ReplyDeleteI am so happy to see this new blog, Matt! Thank you for making a way for your friends and spread out community to stay in touch with you in this new chapter of your journey. LOVE the picture of you and the kids! Continuing to pray for you, your littles, and Brandi's family.
ReplyDeleteLove this! Our blog has been a great way to keep the memories alive as time marches on...one day I hope my great grandchildren will be able to look back and see how God worked through the little things in their ancestors lives.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Matt, for keeping us updated. We long to help and support you guys in any way that we can. So thanks for sharing your lives with us. A verse that reminded me of you guys today: "So we don't look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever." 2 Cor 4:18. Since Brandi left us, heaven has become so much more real to me. God bless you guys as you begin this new chapter.
ReplyDeleteMatt, this is a wonderful idea and I hope it blesses you. We will look forward to hearing about your precious family and are continuing to pray for all of you. Much love from Colorado!
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting us continue to share in your lives. Ray and Cindy
ReplyDeleteMatt, thank you for providing a way to stay in touch. Continuing to pray for you and your kids, and Brandi's parents and brother, as you all begin this new chapter. Also praying that the Author of our days would continue to give healing and hope to each of you.
