I DO

Yesterday I was listening to Hope FM over lunch time and I had an AH! moment. The discussion was on Easter and what Jesus did for us on the cross and the question posed to listeners was 'What do you want to do with this Jesus?'.  After you have heard what He did for you on the cross? After God who so loved the world that He gave His Only son for our sake so that we maybe saved, what do you want to d with this Jesus?
You see, in a wedding ceremony, the officiating pastor normally asks the groom and bride  whether they do accept the other as their wedded husband or wife. If the lady says 'I do' and the groom keeps quiet then there is no wedding/marriage until they both consent. Same with us and Jesus, when Jesus was on the cross just before He died He said ' It is finished" , in other words He said I DO  and its up to us to either say I do or keep quiet. When we say I do, we enter into an eternal relationship with Him. That was so profound and I want to say I Do to Jesus.

So as we look forward to Easter weekend, I pray that we shall evaluate our relationship with Christ and say I Do, for those who have never said those words to Him and for those of us who said I DO and have become too familiar with Him, may we renew our vows and commitment to Him.

God bless you all.

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...

Househelps

This morning as we drove to work, we tuned into a radio station that had an interesting discussion...yeah you guessed it, it was on househelps.The background was that there is a lady who has helped develop a curriculum for domestic workers in Kenya and the emphasis is on respecting oneself, good grooming, respecting the job one is doing etc. She was encouraging all employers to enrol their domestic workers for the curriculum but many were hesitant stating that they would invest much in the househelps then after a few weeks/days the girls would leave..but she said if all homes trained the domestic workers then whenever they left, then you would receive one who is trained as everyone has played their role. The morning show had 2 male presenters, and two ladies and what caused a stir was that the men asked one lady.." whether she would employ a househelp who was prettier than her? "Would you employ one who's esteem is high and dresses well if you were married" . The l...
