Caleb -1 week after India

Caleb the great warrior, the boy who daily reminds us of God and His sovereignty has been in Kenya for 1 week now. The parents are very excited about having him home and the many milestones he is making. Nicoletta says that his appetite has increased and she is now considering to wean him. After all he will be 6months tomorrow 20th April. He is actually sitting down now without any support, that is a great milestone for this brave boy.

He went for a review with the local doctor and she was impressed at his growth. He is now 5.1kgs, he will have another review and echo(scan of the heart ) in 2 weeks time but as of now he is still on medication.  The doctor told the family that they should thank God that Caleb went to India because a hospital in the UK that had offered to do  free surgery just about the time they were ready to leave for India had declined to take him saying he needed to add weight first. It was God who lead their footsteps to go ahead with the India option.

This morning the mother sent me a text message just blessing the lord and blessings all our friends. She sends me quite a number of texts for all the people who supported them and I can't forward them daily but please accept her gratitude and blessings upon your life.

This is what she wrote this morning:
Praise be to God who speaks righteousness and declares things that are right. Have a very promising day and your going out and coming be guided by God. Say hi to our dear pals. All their needs are met by Lord Jesus!Caleb is sitting down without support.

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
