WOW I am a mother

Hello everyone,
WOW I can not believe that it has been almost four months since Mwende has come home.

The first two-three months was a period of complete shock, excitement, rejection, screaming, crying, police station visit and joy.  We spent two and half months in the house on complete lock down. Very few visitors, lots of hugging, singing, drawing and crying trying to get to know each other.  The process of establishing a relational connection was very hard and emotionally draining.  I do praise God that great progress has been made. I feel like we are connecting well.  I am sure there is a long process that is still to come, but we are on our way

Now, I have taken a driving course to get  a Kenyan license. God has provided a car that I need to pay for and nerves to drive on the wrong side of the road  I did learn to drive a manual.

The thesis is on life support  I could not even think about a thesis until about a week ago.  Now I have to regroup and think about how to get it done. Lord help.

Well, life is going on and I am praying that God will give me wisdom in being a mom, relational connections with adults, increase my driving skill. I take the driving test next week

Blessings and grace
Esther
