The Disappointing Weekend

Have you ever put your heart into something and it fails so hard and it hurts? Well my Saturday was so disappointing I couldn't even believe it myself. When we came from India, I got an email from a friend saying there would be a kids events in December. Naturally I got excited because for us its an opportunity to display our furniture and also interact with parents and let them know about SAS Impressions www.sasimpressions.com. So we got into lengthy discussions with the event organisers and had a deal. The same Saturday there was also another event targeting mums at a diffrent venue. I talked to the organisers and luckily they allowed me to distribute our fliers for free. Thank God for relatives because I had marshalled my sister Purity and cousin Monica to help us.

Anyways Saturday morning came and we were at the first event by 8.30a.m only to find that it had rained heavily the previous night and the grounds were soaking wet, the tents were in place but the organisers wanted them to be rearranged. So we went to buy some floor mats and when we came back were able to set up. My beloved called me severally during the day and said there were no people except the exhibitors. It was so disappointing.

When we got to the other venue, the story was the same, there were no people. The irony was that the roads had so much traffic but where was everybody on that day I wonder? I encouraged myself that we are learning and have to rethink whenever we get events like this in the future. Why I felt bad was that it was a Saturday and I had hardly spent time with baby gal as we were out of the house by 7a.m and we got home after 7p.m..

That is called the world of business.

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...
