Lovely Weekend

My weekend was lovely and different. 

On Friday evening, we were not in our usual jeans and T-shirts but instead dressed up in evening wear and joined our couple friends for dinner. The food and company was great. It was such a refreshing time just to have a good time away from home and the kids.

On Saturday,I went to work with Samara and it was much fun. It was nice to feed her, play and see her interact  so well with other children. Alex had gone to the garage and as usual came back with it sparkling clean. Later that evening, we attended our monthly couples meeting, where we laugh, catch up on whats happening in our world,share about our joys,challenges in marriage and parenthood. We have observed that   in the last 3 years,there has been much growth and maturity in each of the individuals. The group was formed when majority of us were newly weds. We are 6 couples and have 7 babies and 1 coming soon. It is a group that we treasure and look forward to meeting as we learn so much from each other. We got home past mid night.

After the Sunday service, we drove home and relaxed indoors just the three of us. We took a nap and later in the evening went for an evening stroll.  It took some convincing for my beloved because he likes driving more thank walking and so he joked that Samara and I can take the evening stroll and he would drive behind us, just like an escort car. Finally he accepted and we took a break at a small restaurant then walked back home at 7p.m. It was lovely to do that , the last time we walked like that was when we were pregnant. After Samara slept we watched 2 movies 'Unthinkable' and 'A-Team'.

So that was my lovely weekend.Nothing major but treasured precious moments. Life is found in the everyday things and not in the big events. So choose to love life and to enjoy your today.

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 ...
