17th September 2013

Its been a very long while since I blogged but things have been good. I can confess that the Lord has been good to us and we are most grateful. We had August holidays for Samara and she had a load of fun. I didnt manage to tag her along to work with me because the weather then was just not favourable.

October 13th marks 1 year since God blessed us with Jaden. I Know it shall be on a Sunday and I have been wondering what we shall do on the day but this far I have learned to take it a say at a time. In August, I had travelled and was away for a week but amazingly I missed Jaden more than I did hubby and baby gal. We spoke daily but I missed shopping for Jaden. This past Sunday, I broke down in Church as I remembered how last year a time like this we were doing count down to seeing our handsome boy. But a thought struck me..he has been in Heaven almost a year..he has had pure bliss and happiness with God and for that am grateful.

The Lord has been our comfort and strength. I am amazed at how months and days can go and I think of Jaden but with no tears nor saddness. God is an amazing healer. Of course I would still love to celebrate those milestones like sitting, crawling, the first birthday and much more but all in all I am counting my blessings that God enabled me to carry him full term, to bond with him for a month. He allowed my family and friends to meet Jaden and be blessed.

So when am silent, do not worry about how I am doing, it is well with my soul.

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...
