Animal Orphanage

We finally got a chance to take Samara to the animal orphanage on Lang'ata Road. Samara kept saying mooo at almost all the animals(cheetah,lion, leopard)..guess she didn't know how to make the sounds of most of them and neither did I. The monkey was her favourite animal and after the tour she slept so fast, I wondered whether it was mentally tiring or it was that boring.



 I had never heard a lion roar before and one of them did while we were a bit far but I sure was glad we weren't near them because I understood why its called the King of the Jungle.
 Now what do you call this animal? Is it a donkey or a zebra? I heard some kids say its a cross breed.
 This is called a peacock, Alex explains to Samara.
God is awesome, you see his creation and you get amazed.

We need to give the kids this tour soon. I like it, I think the last time we were there, all the animals were sleeping. Did you go in the morning or afternoon?

We went at about 4p.m. but think the ideal time is at 2.30p.m when the animals are being fed.

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
