"For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; I know that full well" Psalm 139:13-14This week was one filled with so much pain and sorrow, yet I felt the need to write down some thoughts. Many of you heard through facebook that our dear, dear friends lost their little girl Monday, and as I sit back and reflect on this past week, I am amazed at how God truly does give us what we need when we need it. God is able to provide more then we will ever need. He truly does give strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. When we think we are not strong enough that is when God shows us that we aren't but with HIM we are. I feel priviledged to be apart of the body of Christ in times like these. Watching people come around and weep, grieve, laugh, and pray was amazing. I feel like there are many of us that will be bonded for life because of this. Even though many said we were great friends to the Carey's, it really feels like they are the great friends. I would never wanted to walk down this road with anyone but walking it with them feels like we are the blessed ones to have them in our lives. Watching them lean on each other, family, their Savior and friends was such an inspiration. While there are still many long roads to grieve, I take comfort in knowing so many are praying for them and that God does promise to walk the road with them.
I realize now more then ever that life is sooo short. I was so sad to look through all my pictures and realize that I have tons of pictures of Tanner and Peter but none of Tanner and Elyse. Thinking back on this picture, Tanner really wanted to hold the baby, and now she will get to hold her own baby brother and sister.
Elyse we miss you so much but so glad you are resting in our heavenly Father's arms.
