Our Business Name:
At vendor shows, people always comment on how unique my business name is and that they love it. I get asked all the time what made me come up with that name, Bundled with Blessings, Inc.
When God blesses your womb, it is just that A BLESSING. I learned that even the more through my pregnancy with Olivia. Through all my challenges, tears, uncertainties and heartaches, God ALWAYS had a plan. This situation did NOT surprise Him. Bundled with Blessings, Inc. Was birthed through the birth of my daughter, Olivia Mia Elizabeth Bartley.
God’s word states that our children are a blessing from the Lord. The Lord revealed to me when our child is presented to us, whether in the hospital or at-home birth, most times they are “bundled” up when given to the mother. As a mom that feeling is indescribable and little by little we peel back that blanket to view our “blessing”.
God showed me that just as I peel that blanket back slowly, holding my child carefully and with so much love, it matters how I hold them, feed them, clothe them, protect them and teach them. It will take a lifetime to peel back all the layers that God has given our children. Some layers we will not understand but He does.
Like any gift, you don’t just rip it open! You never know what is in that wrapping. When someone gives you a gift, you are thankful and you take care of it.
Again, our children are a GIFT FROM GOD. It matters how we unwrap them and present them to this thing called life.
When God revealed this to me, I knew the name of my business. It was in the hardest time of my life that I received the biggest blessing ever... my miracle, Olivia Bartley.
Welcome, everyone, to the meaning of “Bundled with Blessings, Inc.”
This little girl has changed my life forever.
As if having her was not enough, UF Health chose to do a story on us. I’m overwhelmed with love and God’s omnipotent hands. The story will be on UF Health’s website, social media and prints.
Thank you UF Health/Shands for great care and an incredible written documentary of our story.
