First, we were SO blessed by the shower that was held back in June by our CBC family. The western themed decor before leaving Texas and attention to detail was so incredibly sweet and thoughtful!! People were so sweet and gave the cutest outfits, bows, blankets etc and were extremely generous in their gift card donations since they knew we'd be moving. I am still having TONS of fun shopping at Target for stuff we need!
Then, I started a bible study up here in September at a church I had been attending. The lady in charge of the study asked if they could have a little lunch shower for me today. When I showed up I was so surprised because they had gone out of their way to decorate and make things so personal. They had even invited ladies from their sunday school classes that I had never met. About 9 ladies showed up, but you'd think that 20 had been there with the amount of gifts they so generously gave! It was very touching to see these ladies, half of whom I had never met, come to something and give so generously to someone they didn't know. They knew I had already had one amazing shower back in Texas, but they said they wanted to make sure I felt at home here too. How sweet!!!
So... now we are thoroughly covered in pink stuff! Matt comments all the time about how pink the outfits are :) Everything is so precious and I can't wait to start using it all in the coming weeks! God was so good to us in Texas by blessing us with an incredible church home and wonderful friends. He has been faithful here in providing another church that has so graciously welcomed us. Rain showers can be refreshing and bring new growth. These "showers" that have been given to us have been both refreshing and brought a source of new growth. Thank you so much to everyone who made these possible and for all the love that was shown to our new little family!!!
