Thankful Today

32 years ago I was born to a wonderful woman. My mum has been a mother and a friend over the years and I thank God for her. Last night I was thanking God for crafting my path. He knew I would be my mother's daughter and through the hard and good times we have hard as I have grown up, He knew it would contribute to who I am today.

I am also grateful that God knew that I would meet my beloved husband Alex. It is almost 4 years and through the roller coaster of life..I am so happy and blessed to be married to this wonderful man. I am blessed to be his wife and look forward to many great years ahead.

I am also thankful to God for blessing me with baby gal, Samara.She is such a joy and so lovable. She adjusts to situations and reminds us of God's faithfulness. She had started noticing her scar from the surgery and when she pointed , we answered that means God is faithful, a complex answer for her now but that is what God has been to me and my family faithful. I am also thankful for Baby J, who we are looking forward to holding in our arms in a few weeks. It has been a different journey but all in all we thank God for blessing us and taking care of us.

I am thankful for family and friends who have been closer than family. I thank God for our couples group. I have made sisters that I never had..these gals can be counted on anytime..what blessing is that...so all in all I thank God for all the wonderful people He has brought into my life.

My prayer today is that may the Lord grant us days that we may also be able to see our children's children. I was trying to imagine Samara at 32years...must be a great feeling for the parents.....Dear Lord, I am thankful for life, the moulding and for charting my way. Lord guide my footsteps and may I be all that you want me to become.

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...
