Turn your eyes upon Jesus

Alan Jackson Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus Lyrics:
[Chorus:]
Turn you eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face;
And the things of earth will
grow strangely dim
In the light of His glory and grace.


O soul are you weary and troubled?
No light in the darkness you see?
There's light for a look at the Saviour,
And life more abundant and free:

Through death into life everlasting
He passed, and we follow Him there;
Over us sin no more hath dominion
For more than conqu'rors we are!

[Chorus]

His word shall not fail you He promised;
Believe Him and all will be well.
Then go to a world that is dying,
His perfect salvation to tell!

I have been singing the above song all weekend, yet I was hard to apply it. All weekend, I went about worrying about a major project that lies ahead of us.Infact by last evening, I was on the verge of tears and requested my beloved to pray for me to have peace and trust in God.

You see, many times I walk by faith, but sometimes I just want to see and touch so that I can believe. Well this morning as I was pursuing some paperwork, I was waiting to be told to unleash the cash  before getting the document I needed but the gentleman who served me surprised me. He printed for me the document, asked me to go submit it where it is required then come back when I am ready to settle the bill , without a rush. I was so humbled because in my mind I had started to wonder where my provision will come from yet the Lord had gone before me. 

I hopped into the bus on my way to work , humbled and amazed to know that this battle ain't mine,its  for the lord. When I shared  this with Alex, he told me, I am yet to see more  of God's favour and so am praying to God that I may not shrink but that I may face the giants that present themselves before me.

Blessings to you all.

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...
Looking back at where I am today and where the 8-4-4 system had placed me, I thank God that He has a purpose and plan for all of us. At times I wonder whether I will be able to tell my kids that I was never in the top 10 position in class. Most of our parents have told us how they were position 1 in their class and I always wonder who was last? Think about it. I envy today’s young generation. Having being raised in Kericho and Nakuru in my younger days, I didn’t know English too well and at 6 years I was speaking broken English. My first birthday was so memorable and exciting in that I could not say birthday and would welcome my friends and visitors by saying ‘welcome to my passday’. Oh well ,thank God that we catch up quick and I went to Milimani Primary and later Nairobi Primary and my report forms would read “ Sylvia is very playful and can do better if she settled down" or "slight imporvement but can do better". Class 8 came and I scored 432/700, and that was ok...

Househelps

This morning as we drove to work, we tuned into a radio station that had an interesting discussion...yeah you guessed it, it was on househelps.The background was that there is a lady who has helped develop a curriculum for domestic workers in Kenya and the emphasis is on respecting oneself, good grooming, respecting the job one is doing etc. She was encouraging all employers to enrol their domestic workers for the curriculum but many were hesitant stating that they would invest much in the househelps then after a few weeks/days the girls would leave..but she said if all homes trained the domestic workers then whenever they left, then you would receive one who is trained as everyone has played their role. The morning show had 2 male presenters, and two ladies and what caused a stir was that the men asked one lady.." whether she would employ a househelp who was prettier than her? "Would you employ one who's esteem is high and dresses well if you were married" . The l...
