My Life

Caleb Maina's mum, Nicoletta sent me this text message &I would love to share it with you all. "We say, am tired, He says, I'll give you rest(Matthew 11:28-30), we say, its impossible, He says, all things are possible(Luke 18:27). We sat, I can't go on;He says my grace is sufficient for you(2 Corinthians 12:9) . We say I didn't know what to do; He says, I will direct your steps(Proverb 3:5-6). We say, I can't cope;He says, I will supply all your needs(Phil 4:19). We feel alone;he says I will never leave you nor forsake you(Heb 13:5). May your life be full of His blessings and never feel lonely. He will be with you always. This is our prayer for your family and friends. Thank you all who have been kind enough to support this family in your own way.  Nicoleta has been a blessing to me. Am amazed at her faith , strength and hope. She is patient and is waiting on God to come through for her family. Receive this blessing from her.

My beloved traveled from yesterday and with school round the corner we had no choice but for me to take baby gal yesterday for her review at the cardiologist. Well somehow Samara doesn't like the weigh scale no more and when she finally got her weight checked it showed something like 12Kgs. Our doctor was so excited to see her and how she has put on weight. He said all is well and we need to look out for now at her age is home accidents like burns, drinking what she is not meant to as at this stage they are very curious and also pulling things from above...otherwise he was happy and didnt even give us another review date  and said she can go to school. That was good news for us. So today Friday, baby gal had a jab and my beloved we missed him much as you all know by now he is the one who holds her down for such.But amazingly when we entered the nursing room, the nurse whom we have met severally at the baby wellness clinic was so amazed at baby gal's growth. In fact we stayed ...

We are on a countdown to baby gal joining play school and its such an exciting yet scary feeling for mummy. This morning we went with Samara to her new school and just wanted her to have a feel of the place and its amazing how she just blended in. In the few minutes we were there, she had already participated in celebrating another child's 4th birthday, drank hot chocolate and she had made a friend who will be in her class. It was comforting to see her just blend in, occasionally coming to check if mummy is still in the office but no fuss. Time to leave she went to give a big hug to her new friend who is 2years 2months. She officially joins next week Wednesday and can't wait to see her develop more. She will be in school from 8.15a.m. to 2.30p.m. Am told to pack a healthy snack and that is when mummy realises she needs other mums who have gone before her to give tips on what they pack for the little ones. Am so glad that there are also swimming classes on Friday and knowing h...

My friend Nicoletta shared with me the lessons we can learn from a pencil. One day a  pencilmaker taught a pencil  five important lessons:Everything you touch will always leave a mark,the mistakes you make can always be corrected,most important is what is inside you, in life you will undergo painful sharpenings which will make you better and to be the best you must allow yourself to be held and guided by the hand that holds you. May we be willing to be like the pencil. Blessings to you all.

Moments with you, couples devotional  Going to the Chapel I will put the fear of Me in their hearts so that they will not turn away from Me. JEREMIAH 32:40 Many years ago, I was asked to marry a couple in a state where I wasn't licensed to perform weddings. No big deal—on the Friday I arrived in town, I figured I'd just go down to the county recorder's office and sign the right paperwork. But I was really tired when I arrived that particular Friday afternoon, and I talked myself into taking 15 minutes to stretch out on the bed and rest my eyes. Fifteen minutes turned into more than two hours. When I woke up it was 4:15—too late to get the license. At this point I had a choice: call my buddy to see if he knew a licensed minister who could assist me, or just let it go. Who would ever know? I was comfortable in my Plan B decision. But that night at the rehearsal, the groom asked me, "Hey, did you get down to the courthouse today and get registered?" I bli...

My Monday morning plan was to write to my friends and request them to join our family in raising air fare for Caleb Maina to go to India for treatment. I guess having gone through the planning, anxiety and finally surgery made me identify with this family. Nicoleta , Caleb's mum told us that she rarely interacts with people because her son really cries due to the discomfort he feels and people unknowingly offer all kids of suggestions on what to do. They have had to take their 4year old daughter(Maryanne) to her mum so that they can just deal with the baby. At times she has to lie that he has had a jab and hence why he is crying so much even as they travel, sometimes they have to stop somewhere allow him to cry then get on with their journey. The most hurtful thing they told us was that some people have asked whether they are cursed or their parents were cursed because of their son's condition..which reminded us of the story in the bible where people suggested that a certain bl...

Caleb Maina was born on October 20 th 2011  and diagnosed with Shone’s Complex with tight coactation, that is tightening of the valves in the heart. As a result Caleb cries a lot,  is unable to breastfeed well and has little weight gain.  We met Caleb and his parents on Saturday afternoon. The time we spent with them and Peter Mbogo the founder of the organisation was great. Despite the family's struggle they are born again and have hope that all shall be well with him. I held the boy in my arms and he is so peaceful though he really cries especially when he is unable to breath or due to discomfort. As a family we appeal to you to give this boy and his family hope and a chance. Contributions can be sent to Peter Gachahi 0721 843918 . Remember we give not because we have too much but we give to make a positive difference
