A Haleakela Sunrise...

Happy Easter

I find myself in a bit of a dilema... Not only do I not have a clever status update but I don't have anything really to say. Today was an excellent day, we celebrated our freedom in Christ. Leslie and I found ourselves in a bout of nastalgia today. You see church has been at the core of our childhood and adolecence. Christmas Eve was the biggest church service Easter Sunday took a close second. So you see our expectations were high. But just as with everything that happens when you come to a new place, it's never the same. We live in Hawaii, on an island called Maui. Ofcourse things will be different. And why shouldn't they be? Needless to say the church was filled to the gills so to speak and everyone was happy to be there. People who loved us were surrounding us at every corner and it felt like home. To say that it was a dissapointment is untrue. It was just different. I am learning that different is an experience one is constantly apart of. I say all of that to say this, Just because it felt different doesn't mean that God didn't move today. Jesus Christ moved in so many lives and hearts I am sure of it. This weekend was the capstone to a great week and the transition point of the semester. 

I hope this makes sense and I am not just rambling on. I probably am. But if you are reading this, just know that I love you! God loves you and thats how it should be. (Inside family thang) 

Sometimes I wish I was more clever, eloquent or just bold. Why oh why do I settle for less than what God has presented me with? I am scared. like a little kitten fuzz ball who has lost his way. So ready for someone to scoop me up in thier arms but not ready to take the food and the nutrients that they offer. 

HOW IN THE WORLD DID I JUST PULL AN EXAMPLE FROM THAT!

Now I know that I'm tired...

Anyways! Goodnight Dear Friends and Family!

Happy Easter!!!

Blessings out of Buffetings

Our power went out at approximately 4:00 pm on Friday April 1st.  This was my dinner...because of lack of power...I ate junk. My initial thought was "April Fools." But alas it was not, the power did not come back on until the next Monday April 4th. Despite this dire situation, God turned it into a blessing. 1) I got to use candles. 2) We got to visit with other condos. 3) I learned how best to serve each of the girls. God used others to show me where I was faulting. I praise God for this weekend because he broke me and showed me how to be better. In many other ways as well but in this aspect he was focused. Jesus gave me new life again this weekend! Praise God for power outages.
