A Dear Friend To me

I am so thankful for the friends the Lord has brought my way. Sometimes I smile at the thought of how each one has played an important role in my life.

I have come to accept that there are seasons in friendship. Some friendships come and stay a life time, some come just for a specific season,while others you do not talk everyday but when you do its like you have been together all through.One great lesson for me is to try and understand these seasons in friendship.

I have a dear friend, I call her Shiru.I have known her for over 10 years and she has this contagious laughter and loves life. About 8 years ago, she relocated to another country miles away and I thought our friendship would die. But one thing I thank God for is the efforts she has made to keep our friendship alive.

We are now married,have kids and yet our friendship has just grown with us .Today, I was feeling a bit down and guess who calls with her laughter? Esther. I keep saying she is like a guardian angel to me or our hearts are connected because over the years, in my low moments, she somehow calls at that time.

So just to say Shiru, love you so much and am so blessed to have you as a friend, even the distance and years have not changed that underlying value of friendship.May I be a better friend to you and to all my other friends.

For all my friends, thank you for being in my life and I never take any of you for granted.

Unconditional love

As I went home last yesterday, I heard the song 'In harms way'  by BeBe Winans, Rhett Lawrence, Margaret Bell-Byars. When listening to music, I want to know the lyrics,what the song is communicating and how it applies in my life. This song reminds me of God's unconditional love, even when I do not deserve it, even when I have given up , even when he knows all He knows about me, he doesn't let go of me. That is just amazing. Undying love you've given to me Seen in me things I would never have seen I don't understand why you care so much, it's all a mystery Time and time again I ask myself What have I done to deserve such wealth The price you paid, I could never repay your generosity Chorus: In wanting to save me In order to save the day Because of love you placed yourself In harm's way It's truly beyond me Left without a word to say What kind of love would place itself In harm's way? What kind of love would place itself In harm

My Journey with Caleb's Family

A friend requested me to share my story on the journey we walked with Caleb's family. So below is a very long blog on that over 1 month. Am not sure what is in store for us ahead but this far it has been God. After our experience with Atrial Septal Defect(ASD) through our daughter Samara, I felt within me a call to look for people to partner with regarding kids with heart issues. So In January this year, I checked the net and bumped into a local NGO. The organization basically deals with kids with heart defects from poor families. I thought it was a noble call and contacted the organization. They were fast to respond and I visited them alone and over the weekend on a Saturday with my family. On the Saturday we went, we met Caleb and his parents. This was end of January and they were discussing with the founder of the organization about how to raise airfare for them to travel to India, first week of February. I held Caleb briefly in my arms and his mum kept saying one day her
