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...

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...
