6 months Already

At 6 months babies celebrate major milestones.They sit ,wean and look all cute. This Friday, it shall be 6months since we held Jaden. Somehow my mind doesn't allow me to imagine how he would be looking at 7months. Guess God allowed my mind to handle the 4 Saturdays he gave Jaden to us and am content. I have been privileged to talk to women who either miscarried or lost their babies immediately after birth. I am grateful for the sweet memories and Joy Jaden brought to our lives for the time we were together. Short yes but precious times.


Didn't know what to write today but I wanted to  note that:-
  1. I have come to know God is very real and is  near. He touches where it hurts and soothes the pains.
  2. Each day has become more bearable.Some days pass and I do not think about about my loss.
  3. I hardly hear the baby next door cry nor do I notice his clothes hang outside as I used to.
  4. Samara had stopped to ask about her brother but last week she did and we talked about Jaden.
  5. It shall be one year soon and I have been wondering what to do either on his one year birthday or one year memorial, they are just one month apart.
Prayer
Dear Lord, thank you for your great love for me. Thank you for blessing my womb twice and blessing me with amazing and beautiful children. Each day I wake up , I know am blessed to be alive and breathing. I now realise that pregnancy takes the Hand of God and holding a baby in ones arms is a great honour.

Thank you for allowing me to be a mum to Samara who is now 3years and 4months and having allowed me to be a mum to Jaden, who is now with you. I am blessed because through them, I have drawn closer to you. Through the storms with these two blessings, I have experienced your great love and faithfulness. Through Samara's smiles,hugs, kisses and I love you mummy,I am reminded of your love towards me. She is always a timely voice that constantly reminds me that you are close by.

So today, 6 months later, am thankful for all and say you still are my Rock and in You I am safe. In Jesus name I have prayed.

Amen

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...

Househelps

This morning as we drove to work, we tuned into a radio station that had an interesting discussion...yeah you guessed it, it was on househelps.The background was that there is a lady who has helped develop a curriculum for domestic workers in Kenya and the emphasis is on respecting oneself, good grooming, respecting the job one is doing etc. She was encouraging all employers to enrol their domestic workers for the curriculum but many were hesitant stating that they would invest much in the househelps then after a few weeks/days the girls would leave..but she said if all homes trained the domestic workers then whenever they left, then you would receive one who is trained as everyone has played their role. The morning show had 2 male presenters, and two ladies and what caused a stir was that the men asked one lady.." whether she would employ a househelp who was prettier than her? "Would you employ one who's esteem is high and dresses well if you were married" . The l...

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...
