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.

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...

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...
