Another Son -Surprise

I am smiling to myself as I write that title. For indeed it is a pleasant and welcome surprise for me. We were scheduled for our 22 weeks scan today and on our way to hospital, I could hear God asking me whether I trust Him? I was at peace but in my hearts of hearts, I felt it was a girl. I actually had a girl's name. I wanted to moan for Jaden forever and wanted a girl, to guilt trip God for taking my son away. 

 So, we get in and all is normal and the doctor asks if we want to know the sex and he writes this is the penis..etc..and for a second there I didn't here everything else he said. Shock was what it was. Alex was calm and smiling. So in the car I asked him if he was excited or if knew it would be a boy and he said he had an open mind but somehow felt it would be a boy. He said,I looked serious and hoped I was not disappointed. And of course I am not disappointed. To see all features of baby are well and there, and to hear a heart beat and a kick on my stomach is an honour. Yes I am shock,shaking, happy, thrilled, excited, confused etc etc about it being a boy but what I know for sure is that I am thankful for this miracle baby boy. He has brought joy to my heart this day 22nd January 2014. I have fallen in love with him and I am so looking forward to meeting him soon. I have also fallen in love with God again.

 I feel He has pulled a major surprise on me. I didn't expect it but I know God is wonderful and His ways and plans are excellent and perfect. As for now I am singing of how great my God is..how awesome this God I serve is. Thank you Lord because every good and perfect gift is from you.

 We keep praying as we walk this amazing journey of faith.We look forward to sharing the news with baby girl this evening.

 Bless you all for sharing in our joy.

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...
