Words and Manners

This morning, am not sure what I was doing but baby girl unleashed two new words 'stop it'. I was so tickled and shocked because seems like she has just been absorbing all the words that she hears us speak and is now generously speaking them out. That calls for us to check our manners and words. Talking of which, I have been using public transport and I have noticed so much anger and frustration among drivers on the road. Only yesterday evening did i hear the driver of the car/matatu  I was in abuse another driver  'cow/ng'ombe' for almost hitting us. Then today, in a different bus, we just had the driver daring another man in a smaller vehicle to come out and fight. We were not all sure what had caused the drama but the other guy came out but this driver just abused him again same word 'cow/ng'ombe' and I wondered is that the new word in public transport?  New or not, I think people need to address their issues in a better way..imagine a child in that bus, what will they say net to their friend when they argue..your guess is as good as mine.

Am always amazed at how baby gal says 'thank you, sorry, please'. I remember blogging sometime back at how frustrated I was because she couldn't say 'sorry' but with time she has been able to understand she has no option.

She now has another favourite song that goes like this
Two little eyes to look to God
Two little ears to hear His word
Two little lips to sing His praise
One little heart, to love Him still( she loves this part and I always agree with her on this. One day she will truly know that her little heart and that of her family truly experienced God's healing and love. All we can do is look to Him, His Word and give Him praise)

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

Atrial Septal Defect

Atrial septal defect (ASD), is a heart condition that can affect kids. Normal Heart Function To understand an ASD, it helps to know how the heart works. The heart has four chambers. The lower chambers of the heart are called the ventricles: a left ventricle and a right ventricle. The upper chambers are the atria and there are two— a left atrium and a right atrium. You may already know that your heart is a muscle that pumps blood throughout your body. In a person without a heart defect, blue blood that's low in oxygen flows first to the right atrium, then to the right ventricle, and is then pumped to the lungs to receive oxygen. The red oxygen-rich blood then returns to the left atrium, flows from there into the left ventricle, and heads out to the body through the aorta, a large blood vessel that carries blood from the heart to the smaller blood vessels in the body. Between the right and left atria is a wall called the septum that
