Thankful Today

32 years ago I was born to a wonderful woman. My mum has been a mother and a friend over the years and I thank God for her. Last night I was thanking God for crafting my path. He knew I would be my mother's daughter and through the hard and good times we have hard as I have grown up, He knew it would contribute to who I am today.

I am also grateful that God knew that I would meet my beloved husband Alex. It is almost 4 years and through the roller coaster of life..I am so happy and blessed to be married to this wonderful man. I am blessed to be his wife and look forward to many great years ahead.

I am also thankful to God for blessing me with baby gal, Samara.She is such a joy and so lovable. She adjusts to situations and reminds us of God's faithfulness. She had started noticing her scar from the surgery and when she pointed , we answered that means God is faithful, a complex answer for her now but that is what God has been to me and my family faithful. I am also thankful for Baby J, who we are looking forward to holding in our arms in a few weeks. It has been a different journey but all in all we thank God for blessing us and taking care of us.

I am thankful for family and friends who have been closer than family. I thank God for our couples group. I have made sisters that I never had..these gals can be counted on anytime..what blessing is that...so all in all I thank God for all the wonderful people He has brought into my life.

My prayer today is that may the Lord grant us days that we may also be able to see our children's children. I was trying to imagine Samara at 32years...must be a great feeling for the parents.....Dear Lord, I am thankful for life, the moulding and for charting my way. Lord guide my footsteps and may I be all that you want me to become.

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 ...
