Thank You Lord

This morning I want to declare that  I love God and am amazed at His great love for us. My heart's cry is to feel His love more and more. I want to know this God who gave up His one and only son for me to have life and have it more abundantly. John 3:16 " For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son,that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life"...such great love for me .

Yesterday in church, we studied Jonah 3 and I was so captivated with the fact that God..had mercy on Jonah , asked the fish to vomit him to dry land (that was grace..he could have been vomited back to the waters and asked to find his way to dry land...just a thought) and God's word came upon him a second time.He gave him a chance to go to Nineveh and warn them about the looming punishment.  Once they heard what God had said, the people and their King repented and God had compassion and forgave them..BUT GOD...I can't explain how But   changes the whole story..God loves us so much and when we say we are sorry..our merciful father forgives and forgets...

Jonah goes ahead and tells God , when he choses to forgive the people of Nineveh.."I knew that you are a gracious and compassionate God,slow to anger and abounding in love, a God who relents from sending calamity"..Imagine it just calls for us to pray and God who is compassionate can turn things around..let us cease the moment, let us not loose this great opportunity to know God so personally.

I want to know this God who can give up his son for me a sinner. This Easter means so much to me, because I can somehow identify with losing a son..my one and only son..the pain of losing him..I cant imagine God turning a blind eye on Jesus when he carried all our sins..so that we/I can be set free. ..Dear Lord thank you for that deep love, and being a God of compassion.

Blessings to you all

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...
