Where I Am

It is strange, or so I think. I thought that I was off the tears lane if I may call it but the past few days, I have cried and cried. My beloved's statement sums it up..yesterday, he did not want to look at me while we talked..because he said these days I cry alot and anywhere and he needed assurance that I shall not cry as we spoke. After I promised not to cry, I asked him hard questions about God and I asked him to pray for me . Just having him listen to me means so much.

I admitted to him that God has really taken us through a very painful process. It has been 4 months since Jaden left us and I still ask God why and ask him to give him back to us imagine...I ask God to speak to me and tell me why Jaden? Is it about me? Am I stiff necked or what is it He wants me to see and learn through this. A mum this morning asked me' when shall this pain of losing our babies cease?"I responded by telling her I have been all tears and I have no answer as to when but am glad God is in the boat with me through the storm.

I asked God, how broken can I be after all these? I have people who ask me to remember to say a prayer for them and I confessed to Alex that I do not feel I have the capacity to pray. Yet Alex in his wisdom said that God is looking for a sincere heart and he thinks through the tears and just mentioning my cares and those of others to God,he receives them as prayers. For sure my beloved encouraged me and told me, even through the tears..God hears.

So I continue to pray for strength to face the day, everyday and ask God to soothe this heartache.

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...
