This evening I was very blessed with a baby shower. When we first moved here, I cried over being pregnant because I didn't even know if anyone would offer to cook me a meal when we had this baby. A baby shower was the last thing I expected to happen. These women are mostly women from a bible study I have joined on the Air Force base that meets once a week. From this study, my kids have found playmates, and I have found companionship in wonderful Christian woman who I must say are "supermoms". I have not found any friends for life or busom buddies yet but I do believe that God has some very blessed relationships in store for me through these women...relationships that I feared I would never find. Our move to Hawaii has opened us up to the military life in a way we never experienced in MA. Military wives open their arms to new comers and cling to each other in a very beautiful way. I was moved to tears when they told me they were throwing me a baby shower...I mean how many people get one for their 3rd child?! But I believe it is something that military wives do to show support and love to other military wives no matter what child it is...they are just different in a very special way that I am on my knees thanking the Lord for after such a special evening of feeling loved and accepted. (However to my dear MA friends...it was no "babe" shower. I love you guys. and Wendy, do you recognize anyone?!)
What a great testimony! And yes, that's my dear friend, Diana!!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad that the Lord has blessed you with the friendships you are needing during this transition time. May he continue to bless them and grow them for you.
ReplyDeleteFirst I just wanted to say that you look beautiful! Secondly, I am so glad to here about your new friendships!
ReplyDeleteYou do look great! What a wonderful group you have out there!
ReplyDeleteWhat a tan you have! How exciting! I'm so glad you had a shower. We will be here a year and three months when the baby comes (u/s on the 23rd!) and if I were a betting woman, no one will throw me a shower either. I may get a meal or two, but I doubt I even get a week's worth. People are strange...I miss the military!
