So Loved-2 Years Later



Today marks the 2nd year since Jaden went to be with the Lord.In that season,in my pain I envied those who had lost there children many years before. I envied those who shared their experiences and seemed to have healed because the pain I was in was so fresh.I wished it would fade away and I knew maybe with time the pain would be distant and here we are amazingly 2 years now. 


On that very day, the pain was so intense, it looked so so blue. The cloud of darkness was so heavy and if someone then told me that I would have another child I would have scoffed at them.But yesterday was an amazing day. My mum and her friends came to see baby Nate. Oh we felt so so loved. The women came with porridge,gifts and sang to Nate.Most importantly they brought my mum to speak a blessing over him.  When my mum held Nate and prayed over if and declared how he will excel in life like David did and how he will face and overcome challenges(the Goliath), I was blown away. I felt that God has really loved on us.

Surely, we have seasons in life. Like the Bible says, there is a season for every thing.2 years back, we were heartbroken at the loss of baby J but 2 years later we are rejoicing at God’s greatness and goodness. Surely God is good. It may seem blue for you right now but the sun will shine. The light shall come, the sun shall shine again.It did for me.

We loved you Jaden and we love you now. Miss you son but I know you are having a ball in heaven.Love love you to bits.

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...

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...

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...
