Our friends, Our best couple

I am so glad that we settled for our best couple to be the Makuthis. Initially, when we mentioned to some people  that we wanted them to be our best couple, people were  truly concerned because Emma is Alex's older sister. Most argued due to that blood relationship,it would be difficult to resolve issues because they would have a  natural bias towards Alex. 

 We settled for them because we share the same values, are in same age group and our relationship is founded on  Christ and the friendship we had even before we started dating.  Infact we are in a larger couples group together. We have sat a zillion times with them and draw so much lessons from their true experiences. Over the years, I have never regretted them being in our lives both as friends, best couple and relatives. Emma is first my  true friend then my sister.

We have had our share of ups and downs in marriage like all people do and we have sort their help and wisdom, they have also had the right to probe us and what has captivated me most times is how impartial they have been. They are graced with wisdom, they  have believed in us even when at times our sight was blinded. They look and deal with the real and underlying issues and not the persons involved. .Most of all they are real examples to us both in how they handle their marriage and their 3 lovely babies.They  actually practice what they preach, are available and accessible to us whenever.

We had a lovely evening together on Thursday without the kids. We just laughed and laughed but in the midst of catching up we learned much more. So today, I just want to say thank you to the Makuthis for being in our lives and for being such valuable friends to the Karega family. We can not reward you for your input in our lives, but we say may the Lord bless you, may He expand your boundaries, may He bless your going in and going out. May He grace you with more wisdom, joy and love and may He protect your Hearts of Gold. 

You are a great team, a great couple and a great family. We love you.

Wa Karega

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...

One Month Later

Today, exactly 1 month after the surgery on October 14th, we have so much to be thankful for. I thank God that baby girl is doing great, has been on her feet, feeding well, gaining weight and one can hardly know what she had to go through. Today, we also celebrate that baby girl has stopped breastfeeding and for the first time since we came back slept a whole night in her room. Before the surgery we had her on a routine and she had moved to her real bed and was excited about it. After the surgery, there was need for reassurance and she woke up endless times at night while in hospital , just to make sure we were there and she started breastfeeding almost through out the night. When we returned she toned down on the breastfeeding and would wake up once during the night. This was very frustrating to me because it took us many steps behind but today she seems to be on her way to independence and am proud of her.Love you so much baby girl. Today, my beloved had to return to work after ...
