All of Me -Matt Hammit

 A cold and wet morning it is here in Nairobi. Everyday before I blog, I like to read other blogs that I follow. This morning, I came by the story of a little boy called Bowen who was born with a broken heart. His parents didn't know whether he would leave hospital and his dad wrote a song just to express his mixed emotions. His was not sure whether to love this child or not because he was scared that when he starts loving, the  son may be taken away and his heart would be left broken. Yet again he knew that his son needed all the love and all of him. I think only God can give that strength and grace.

Below are the lyrics and a video. Despite the cold weather, this song has warmed my heart.


All of Me (lyrics) by Matt Hammit

Afraid to love something that could break
Could I move on if you were torn away?
I’m so close to what I can’t control
Can’t give you half my heart and pray He makes you whole


You’re gonna have all of me
You’re gonna have all of me
You’re worth every falling tear
You’re worth facing any fear


You’re gonna know all my love
Even if it’s not enough
Enough to mend our broken hearts
But giving you all of me is where I’ll start


I won’t let sadness steal you from my arms
I won’t let pain keep you from my heart
I’ll trade the fear of all that I could lose
For every moment I’ll share with you


Heaven brought you to this moment
It’s too wonderful to speak
You’re worth all of me
You’re worth all of me


Let me recklessly love you
Even if I bleed
You’re worth all of me
You’re worth all of me

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...

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...
