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.

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...
