Memorable Holidays

Isn't it such a blessing to be alive and well this day? Am grateful to God for allowing me to see this new year. I was too tired to wait for the countdown on New Year's Eve like many others but hey we thank God for this year.

I am also grateful for the holiday and break we had over Christmas. It was nice to travel and bond with family and friends.What I miss most now that we have gone back to work is the great mornings we had. We did not need to set alarm clocks to wake up and would actually switch off the mobile. Baby gal would wake up in the mornings, call out to be picked from her bed, then we would bring her to our room and we would play, sing, receive many many kisses from her. Those were my morning highlights.

We had also planned to potty train her during that time and boy, did we wash many trousers..yes she would sit on the potty very hurriedly then after a while she would pee on herself . But finally yesterday  after a week or so she peed in the potty. I was one excited mum, I hugged and kissed her and shared the good news with my beloved..it was a great milestone.

But am one grateful lady because over that holiday , I got to spend time with my beloved, whether in the house, over a drive or wherever,  I treasured the moments. Again I say life is in the simple things we do and moments we shared like doing laundry, spending time together with baby gal, laughing and chilling out  was just lovely.


Am looking forward to a great year. I have so much in my heart, I desire so much and I pray that I can articulate them and most of all may the Lord mould me to be a better individual, wife, mum and relative.

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 ...
