Baby Shower #1

Sorry I haven't written in awhile. It's been a crazy busy month and will continue to be probably until school gets out. Two weeks ago I had baby shower #1 put on by some sweet ladies from our church, University Baptist Church. I don't think I could have planned a better shower than what they planned for me. First of all, it was the most gorgeous spring day. I commented as I came into the house that I hoped somebody was getting married that day, because it just seemed like a good day for celebrating. Secondly, my hostesses did an amazing job with the food and decorations; the food part is especially important to a pregnant lady. And I was absolutely blown away by the number of people who came. I felt so blessed and so humbled by the love and generousity people have shown us since we found out we were pregnant. It makes me hope that I am showing that same kind of love and support to those around me not only in times of celebration, but also in times of trial. I was especially blessed by the college students who showed up. Our students lead such full lives and for them to take time out of their busy schedule to come to a baby shower blessed my heart. I so love the opportunity that God has given us in Fayetteville to minister to students and I am looking forward to being more involved in ministry after Baby Penick comes. I was so blessed by this shower; it was a great time to visit and catch up with friends and family and what more could you ask for than that!
