When I found out that I would be spending my pregnancy overseas away from friends and family, I was really sad that I would not get to have a traditional baby shower surrounded by friends and family to celebrate with. The Lord showed His specific, unconditional love for me by the many friends and co-workers that live in our city. They were so thoughtful and kind and threw me a wonderful baby shower, complete with food, games, and a cake made out of diapers.
My friends who planned it knew me well and thought of every detail, including putting floating bath toys in the punch! They even had the shower at my house so that I didn't have to travel across the city. Everyone came to me, which was a huge blessing. I was so touched by their thoughtfulness and especially encouraged during the time we had where everyone gathered around me and prayed for us, my pregnancy, and the life of our son. I walked away with some great gifts, but more than that, a reminder of how the Lord provides for not only all of my needs, but so many of my desires.
Here are a few pictures from the day of the shower this past May!
