Christmas 2013 & Pregnant Again

Christmas already? Another year is gone so so fast. Am so amazed at God's goodness. How awesome is the God that I serve. I can't believe that at the start of this year, I was at rock bottom. As people rejoiced last year over this season, I hated it with all of me. I just wanted to hide in my bed despite being sorrounded by family. As people laughed, I despised it.Why would you be so happy , when am so sad and lost?I cried on New Year's Eve, 2012 was a very very difficult year and I wondered what did 2013 have in store? Did I care whether I lived through it or not?

But friends, as I have written today on my facebook page,pain and sorrow do not last. God has a way of soothing our broken hearts. He has His special way of easing the pain of loss and whatever hurts. Today I stand in awe of His love and works. How can such a big God , reach out to someone like me? But God is love and that is His nature. So, to all those that are hurting right now, a loss of a loved one or friend, loss over a broken relationship or whatever is heavy in your heart, give it to the Lord who loves you unconditionally.

We are 18weeks pregnant now. Our baby is growing, the tummy is all out &I have started feeling the kicks.What a privilege it is to be a mum again,the third time round(unbelievable).I have come to appreciate Psalms 139 so much because if you would have told me , I would one day be a mum of three, I would have laughed at you,but here we are...it tally's with what is written, He knew you before you were woven in your mother's tomb. That is our baby and I can't wait to look and see what God has in store for us with this baby.

We are all excited, baby gal is thrilled , she feels baby needs to come before May. She kisses the tummy and says how mummy's stomach has grown...and I tell her it will grow more. Baby gal is at her grandmas with her cousins. She says she is having much fun. I look at her over and over again ,I see God's goodness through her. She will be 4years in the next 2 weeks. This gal is so loving, she appreciates small and big things and she loves beautiful things. She looks into my eyes often and says"I love you mummy, you are a nice mum". Those words warm my heart. I love this gal to pieces.

So Christmas is here and the New Year is quite close. Please remember to count all your blessings during this season. Oh, do you remember Caleb's family(I had blogged about him earlier last year and he later passed on in August),they were blessed with a baby boy Mark on 12th December ,2013.  This far I have come it has been God,He picked me from the darkest pit of my life and I can see the sun shining now.May you always run to Him. May you have a greater testimony of His Goodness.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Blessings

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...
