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...

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...
