Lovely Morning Drives

Our morning drives from home to school  have really been interactive. Baby gal does not keep quiet  until we drop her at school. On her seat, she will either be singing, talking to herself or most times engaging us in conversations. It is interesting to note that while we used to wonder how she will handle the early mornings and the traffic, its good to note that we share lovely morning drives daily.

This morning , I wished I owned an aeroplane because since we moved house, Samara has noticed things in the outdoors more like aeroplanes and birds. Everyday in traffic,she points out at any plane that passes and when there is none she asks where they are and really desires to see one. She also notices the birds in the air, the flowers, the billboards, the colours. As we near her school, her daddy says a prayer for her and when I attempt she says "Mummy not you, its daddy", and I do not mind at all that He speaks into her life every morning as she goes about her day.

Every morning, I appreciate the fact that she reminds us of God's creation. We are normally so busy looking out for birds and planes that we do not really notice the traffic when it is there. So when she was on midterm last week, my beloved and I were driving and we almost pointed out to each other the planes..ha ha then we remembered Samara is not in the car. Amazing how it takes a child  to remind us of God's love for us daily

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 ...
