Thankful


Today am thankful. I am having a lovely week and in all I am thankful. Am thankful to God for the joy he Has given me,nothing big is happening but there is this Joy in my heart . I have been at work full time since last week and have really enjoyed my alone time at SAS Impressions. There were days I would dread the quietness but now I am ok because I have seen God speak to my heart in amazing ways.

This morning as I was doing some rearrangements on the display items, a thought struck me on how we can’t out give God. I know in life we hustle a lot. At times you may be caught up in how you do not have until you actually do not give or share the little you may have. We have heard many say, try God, you can never out give Him or be disappointed,even world leaders know this principal.Give and it shall come back to you. Release what is in your hand to create room for more.

I am loving that principal in our lives. It is such a joy to give and may the Lord help us to keep up with this. We do not give because we have so much but because it is important to share. I have purposed in my heart, to be sensitive to the needs around me, yes I have great needs but I know I can be a blessing to someone else because when you have lacked and God has provided, then you can allow Him to use you in very small ways.

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...

Day 2

 After receiving news of death of a loved one, as one is grieving there are many things to be done regarding burial:where to bury, when to bury and how to bury. In Africa, relatives and the community start trickling in to comfort the family.  When a baby dies sometimes the family may have to decide whether to bury or allow hospital to do so.Sometimes the family may not know what to do or may just feel overwhelmed. Either way it's emotionally draining to make such decisions. I kept negotiating in my mind, this was not the plan, we were to take Jaden home not look for a funeral home andsite to bury him. Our family and friends supported us by accompanying us to hospital, pay bills, transfer baby to funeral home and assisted Alex in processing documents. They helped ask questions, ensure things were handled in a proper way. We never felt alone.  It is kind of the community to come visit the bereaved,it assures them of the love and support. Sometimes it can be overwhelming but...

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...
