Busy, Busy

The last few weeks have just been eventful and busy and can't tell where time has rushed too. The last time I was trying to blog about Caleb and how I had discovered my one month old househelp was pregnant when my beloved called and told me he had been involved in a road accident out of town. Well, one thing we thank God for is that neither he nor the guys who were in the car with him were hurt.

After that, I was househelp searching before baby gal returned to school and once we got the girl it was trying to adjust to change and settle down. We have also been house hunting for the past 2 weeks and I tell you this Nairobi has got many con men. Can you imagine a certain guy made us drive all the way to Kasarani like 12kilometers out of the city, to go meet him as he had said he had a house to show us for our budget. Only to pick him up, and he takes us to a house which he isn't sure whether is available or not. So once he entered the compound and asked about the house he was told it had been rented. I was not amused and he still was insisting he would take us to another, we just told him we do not have that time to waste and once he got something real he can call Alex. And for sure calling he has but we ain't interested. another house we had got last week and liked, and actually met the "owner" and agreed to a deal to be closed on Monday by 5p.m.. Only to call on Monday after visiting the house and the perceived owner says the owner changed his mind and wants to renovate the whole house...It is very frustating I tell you.But God is awesome and we finally managed to view a house we liked and settled for, with not too much drama. After sharing our dramas with other agents for the past 2 weeks with a friend in that industry he told us we were lucky to have found a house in 2 weeks. Others search for a very long time and go through alot. We truly thank God and looking forward to the new move.

So that has been the story of my life for the past few weeks, no time to sit to read or to blog but hopefully we shall settle down now with baby gal back to school. Have a great evening.

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...
