Not Yet There

Am coming to understand that grieving is a journey that one can't quite say that they have arrived at a NO GRIEF destination. I am so glad that I do not cry every day, many days go by now without thinking about Jaden or looking at his picture. I am grateful  now that not all mornings do not have to be prayer requests to get strength and courage to get out of bed& face the day. Indeed things are brighter now, more laughter, peace and contentment are my portion.

Yet, am not at that point where I can say am healed. I think of a wound/scar. At times we maybe deceived by looking at the top scar and think that all is well, yet full recovery is required on the inside. That is where I am at,a place where I ackowledge, I am not fully healed and its ok. Of course at times I beat myself about feeling down but what's the rush? Healing comes from God and takes time. I have come across ladies who lost there babies 12years ago and when the thought crosses their minds, the pain is fresh.

So today, I shall purpose to go easy on myself. I shall not feel guilty for feeling down or  for not attending a funeral meeting. I shall not feel guilty for unsubscribing from certain support groups. I am guarding this delicate heart of mine from pains and hurts for now that is what I need and it is well.

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...
