God is so amazing. In the big things that are obvious, like the new life He has been forming inside of me.  But what amazes and thrills my heart even more are the little ways He shows His love and care.  Each time we have had a child I have just passed along most or all of our baby clothes, gear, etc. I don’t keep stuff. We have some of the baby gear that they use for long periods of time like high chair, car seat, etc.  But the smaller things I just move out to someone else who needs it or sell it for things we need more at the time. After baby #4, Parker, we were pretty sure we had completed adding to our family.  Well, God had other plans for us and we are so excited about adding a new member to our crew. 

Ever since I found out I was pregnant again, I have been overwhelmed at the way people have been so generous with their stuff.  I have had maternity clothes, a swing, 2 woombies, NB onesies, etc. passed my way.  Since we don’t find out the sex of the baby until he or she arrives, I just sort of settle on a neutral theme.  With this baby it has been a brown and green trend that started with baby’s bed.  I haven’t registered for those colors or told anyone that, but guess what colors the woombies I received were? You got it, brown and green.  Oh and a nursing cover, green/blue with brown.  And today in the mail from a friend who is delivering twins anytime now – a diaper bag she bought and then decided she didn’t need.  She didn’t have pictures when she offered it to me but I needed one and didn’t really care what it looked like. 

So the way He cares blows my mind.  The diaper bag is EXACTLY what I would have chosen if I could just go out and buy one.  It’s the perfect size. Brown with green accent colors.  Brand new and free to me.  I know that for some people this wouldn’t be that big of a deal but if you think of searching for just the right gift to give your husband or wife or your child, you try really hard, right?  I mean especially for Christmas or birthdays you just want to get them something that says “I know you, I love you, I want you to be happy”

That’s the way He cares for me!!!!  He does know the desires of our heart. He does know His plans for our life are better than what we consider “good”.  He does know the number of the hairs on our head and the comfort of that is beyond explanation!
