Marriage and Loss

I have been thinking about loss the past few weeks and its amazing how loss is a such a personal journey. Loss can be of a loved one or even loss of a job, a relationship. Loss comes in many faces. No matter how deeply people love you, the journey of loss is traveled by an individual. However, that individual can either accept or refuse to be comforted by God and those in their lives.

I have shared 2 songs in my timeline on facebook Tell Your Heart To Beat Again(https://youtu.be/F77v41jbOYs )& I Will Trust In You(https://youtu.be/n_aVFVveJNs)  that express how life happens and things don't always go as we would love them to be but yet we must trust in God because He is the only constant, even when we do not know how to take the next step when life happens. 

The other song talks about choosing to breathe again. Yes, your heart can beat again after loss, after we are hit hard, so hard, we can arise and breath again because the God we serve is a good God and a God of Hope. All He requires us to do is to ask for help in this new journey after the loss. Day by day, month by month He helps calm the storm.May we be encouraged in this journey of life. I like what one lady shared "when life takes, God gives".

Tonight God willing, Alex and I will be sharing our journey of loss on Ebru TV at 8p.m. It is now 3.5years since we lost our second born Jaden . A journey that can only be accredited to God and God alone. A journey that has allowed us to know that we are loved both by God and those in our lives and we are forever grateful for those who choose to stay by our side even when we did not know where the road ahead was heading.

Kindly tune in if you can even via internet

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...
