The Power of PRAYER!

Well, it's been quite a while since we last posted on here. Kiralie is growing so rapidly like a "bush fire". She hears her name and usually ignores you for a while and then starts to laugh before she looks up. I think that is really cute.

So this is where it all begins.
Kiralie has been a very great baby ever since we brought her home. We've had a few incidence where she gets very fussy. She woke up with a big red spot right on her forehead. I wondered what happened but just could figure it out. She has bumpers in the crib and there isn't any hard toy in there to give her a bump. I tried to touch it to see if it hurt but she didn't really seem to care. She wasn't crying or anything either. I took her to grandma Rosie's so that I could go to work and she was fine and playful as always.

Grandma says she had a great time as always. When we came home, she played while I did dishes and  we played for a little bit too. Well lately, she goes to bed really early. She went from 9pm to 7:30pm bedtime.
Tonight wasn't any different. But when I put her down, she started to cry and just wouldn't stop crying. She cried so much, and I got so frustrated, I just wish I had someone to call to just come take her off my hands for a little bit. Unfortunately for me, Tim wasn't at home and that frustrated me even more.
After, about an hour of consoling her here and there, I decided to say a prayer with her. She stared into my eyes and I hers until the prayer was done and then she gave me the biggest laugh. I had an incline to take her outside for a little bit so I did. She was calmer and just enjoyed the cool breeze and the the cars that passed by. After a few minutes, I took her back upstairs to try putting her down to sleep.

Wow! The difference was very clear. I gave her her binkie and she just lay there starring into the ceiling and not a peep escaped her mouth. That was it. She just went to sleep. Just like that! I didn't have to do anything.
I know someone might think that, she was tired and so she went to sleep. I say, it was the spirit that she felt that calmed her down. Who says they cannot feel the spirit? Babies can feel the spirit. And Kiralie showed me that she felt it tonight.


I love my Heavenly Father and the opportunity I have to go to him in prayer whenever I think my burdens are heavy. He gives me the peace that I need to think clearly and also calms the situation. I am grateful that He helped me get through this tough moment. It was brief but I don't know how I would have gone through without Him. I am grateful that, I could share that moment with my daughter. We have prayed many times.But tonight was different and special.
I have a stronger testimony of prayer and I want to share it with you in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Whats up!

Its been a little while since we last posted. We have been a little busy. But I will love to use this time to say Happy birthday to Faustina Aduafua Ashong-Botchway. She is a wonderful woman and she has been a blessing in our lives. I know I wouldn't be where I am today without her righteous example and influence. We love her dearly and can't wait to see her soon. We love you auntie Faustie. And we really appreciate all you do and your prayers. We can feel its influence all the way here. Please keep doing what you do and this worl will contiue to be a better place.

SO, back to the subject,
A lot happens when you are having fun. We are all doing well by the grace of our Heavenly Father. We have been faced with some trials but, hey, who doesn't get trials? We know that the Lord will hold our hands and guide us through it like He always does. And we are going to grow stronger as a family and more closer to Him. Kiralie is growing so fast. She is able to sit by herself for long now and she is beginning to play a lot with stuff. We are enjoying her so much at this stage and I know it only gets better. She laughs when you tickle her and laughs at silly sounds and loves to pound on the keyboard( computer or piano) and she loves to take her baths cos she cans plash the water everywhere. She is also enjoying her solids and eats about 5 oz of veggies at a sitting. She also loves to stick her tongue out. I don't know who she learned that from. Probably me. I also just started work part-time not too long ago. I work 9am to 1pm  so that I can be at home with the baby as much as I can. Its been great and Kiralie has adjusted pretty well to the new schedule. She gets to spend a lot of time now with grandma Rosie and she really loves it. Am sure grandma Rosie loves to hang out with her too. We love you grandma Rosie and we appreciate your support for our family. We might not say it much but we really do. We don't know what we would do without your help especially at this time.

I like the being back at work. It gives me adult interactions  in the day and I am happy that I still get to spend the rest of the day with the baby.
We will keep you updated with some photos and videos when we get to it. We love you and hope you keep us in your prayers and we will do likewise.
