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...

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...
