Caleb Maina-Part 4

Celebrate with us guys, Caleb Maina and his mum travelled to Fortis Banglore yesterday Monday 12th March 2012. We spoke this morning and they have arrived safely at the hospital and are awaiting to see the doctor. Caleb was very calm in the plane and we really thank God for that favour and the mum is very grateful.

You may be wondering why I have mentioned he is in Fortis yet he was to go to Apollos but over the weekend the doctor at Apollos reviewed the medical report and due to the delicate nature of the surgery he advised that the hospital be changed to one that could handle Caleb's case. Kindly read more about Shone's Complex on http://www.pted.org/?id=shones1.

We are trusting God for 2 things nows. Firstly is for a successful surgery for Caleb and we will inform you on the date of the surgery for you all to pray for him. Secondly the total medical bill is USD 13,500 or Kshs 1,147,500. We have been able to pay a deposit of Kshs 300,000 and therefore deficit is Kshs 847,500. He should be at the hospital for 15 days and we need to pay this amount by then. I appeal to you and your friends to help us in this. My contact numbers are 0722 840375, Caleb's dad is 0721 843918. We shall give details of the swift transfer code for the hospital and an account for caleb later.

Thank you all and may God bless you for standing with this family.

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...

Weight-Part 2

Once the baby is breastfeeding and starts to wean, the eyes shift from the mother to the child. Common comments ‘ what are you feeding your baby on? They are growing so well. During baby clinics, pressure mounts because your child's weight gain doesn't seem to match that of another or a friend's child. Next time you take the baby for vaccination open your ears and eyes. It’s like people are sizing each other up, or trying to boost their image especially if their baby “seems” to be ahead of others. I know this is a sensitive topic but all am saying is, yes the mother/parents have worked pretty hard to ensure that their baby is growing well and that is ok and we appreciate the good job done, but hey do we stop to think about that other woman/family who is feeling like a failure because as per the society as long as your baby is not growing as well as we expect, the mother( most times) isn't doing a good job? Do we ask ourselves why isn't that child not growing as...

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...
