Kerygma Conference 2013

Pardon me for being MIA in this blog for a long time. A lot on things happened in last few months. Some of the good and not so good things that happened to me are shown below:
1. I gave birth last May to a healthy baby boy.
2. I returned to the hospital 3 days after I was discharged due to elevated Blood pressure.
3. My Eldest start going to school.
4. Experienced post partum depression :(

I may had my downs but I am still fighting the negativity around and attended Kerygma Conference 2013. True enough, we were blessed by the Conference. We learned a lot and got empowered.
