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...

Weight-Part 2

Once the baby is breastfeeding and starts to wean, the eyes shift from the mother to the child. Common comments ‘ what are you feeding your baby on? They are growing so well. During baby clinics, pressure mounts because your child's weight gain doesn't seem to match that of another or a friend's child. Next time you take the baby for vaccination open your ears and eyes. It’s like people are sizing each other up, or trying to boost their image especially if their baby “seems” to be ahead of others. I know this is a sensitive topic but all am saying is, yes the mother/parents have worked pretty hard to ensure that their baby is growing well and that is ok and we appreciate the good job done, but hey do we stop to think about that other woman/family who is feeling like a failure because as per the society as long as your baby is not growing as well as we expect, the mother( most times) isn't doing a good job? Do we ask ourselves why isn't that child not growing as...

Looking back at where I am today and where the 8-4-4 system had placed me, I thank God that He has a purpose and plan for all of us. At times I wonder whether I will be able to tell my kids that I was never in the top 10 position in class. Most of our parents have told us how they were position 1 in their class and I always wonder who was last? Think about it. I envy today’s young generation. Having being raised in Kericho and Nakuru in my younger days, I didn’t know English too well and at 6 years I was speaking broken English. My first birthday was so memorable and exciting in that I could not say birthday and would welcome my friends and visitors by saying ‘welcome to my passday’. Oh well ,thank God that we catch up quick and I went to Milimani Primary and later Nairobi Primary and my report forms would read “ Sylvia is very playful and can do better if she settled down" or "slight imporvement but can do better". Class 8 came and I scored 432/700, and that was ok...
