I recently had been stressing out about not having anything for the baby, not having anything in the babies room, and not even starting to get ready. I am due in June and was wondering how it is all going to come together. I got to the point where I just couldn't sleep I was thinking about it so much. Then I realized that I was trying to make all things happen through my own power. I hadn't been praying for help. No more than a week after I started asking the Lord for what I needed, He provided. A sweet, selfless and loving lady named Diane sent me a care package. And when I say care package I mean CARE! Because she put a lot of thought, a lot of love and a lot of care into the gift. What caught me off guard was the fact that I had only met this sweet lady once, and it was a quick hello and congratulations during our husbands Basic Training graduation. Granted I have talked to her a few times via facebook message , we still have touched base less than 10 times! Diane saw a need she understood the feelings of being in a new town away from family and she understood that I would be feeling even more alone without any friends to share my pregnancy with. She set out to make me feel loved and thought of and prayed for, and she accomplished that. I received Diane's gift a few days ago and it was like having my own tiny baby shower. Diane filled a very loveley and awesome baby bag with things such as wipes, breast milk storage bags, onesies,a pacifier clip and holder, a bottle insulator,a disposable scented diaper baggy dispenser with extra baggies, and a super soft blanket lined with satin. These gifts could not have come at a better time, I know that my prayer was answered , and I thank the Lord for Diane's sweet spirit and will be thankful to her for the love she has shown me and my family. And one day I pray I can be a blessing to another just as Diane has been to me. Oh and today's sunday school message was about praying for the little things! If we ask not we receive not!
I had a doctors appointment so I had to wait to open the bag till after!
I wanted to get home so badly to open it!! Like a kid in a candy store .
Here are all the gifts I pulled out.

This is pretty much all we havein the nursery right now.
Everything on the shelf is from Diane and the bouncer is from my Sister.
Neat! The Lord does care about the little things! :)
