Faithful ... wow ... lately I've been running into movies .. that are quite inspiring ... After watching The 33 ... and seeing their test of faith ... I have come to realize even more that we ALL face tests of faith every single day of our lives...big and little ... small and large  The other evening I just couldnt fall asleep and ended up .. deciding to watch another movie ... sooooo very heartfelt as well... "Miracles from Heaven" also based on

a true story ... It was sooo very inspiring ... every single family member was faithful in their own way .. TRUSTING and BELIEVING GOD IS REAL .. the family went through so much together ... ... and the HE has our plan ... not us ... We all must learn to trust more ... in His plan... and guidance ... He is always with us ... and he will provide ... NO MATTER WHAT ... Just TRUST and have FAITH ...

Aloha & A Hui Hou...

We face ... all kinds of "negative" every single day of our lives... in the work place ... in our families ... in our everyday lives .. in our minds... and thoughts... I listen to Our Daily Bread devotional everyday ... first thing .. but instead I was compelled and felt in my heart to watch and listen to a movie ... The 33 ... about coal miners trapped in a mine in the Atacama Desert in Bolivia for 69 days ... August to October 2010 .... I felt like I was literally there... they started out having just enough food for only 18 days... 33 men trapped in a refuge area ... they were trapped 700 meters (2,300 ft) almost a mile ... underground and about 5 kilometers (3 miles) from the mine's entrance via spiraling underground service ramps.  They were riddled with fear doubt ... depression ... faith... love.... worry ... frustration... and despair.... I cant imagine ..... how that must have been to live through... but the movie made it seem very real....  I know we ALL go through times of negativity .. worry and despair... and a lot of times we feel God has forgotten us.. through one circumstance or another.. We HAVE TO REMEMBER ... HE IS ALWAYS THERE FOR US ... NO MATTER WHAT ...  WE JUST NEED TO HAVE FAITH... AND GRATITUDE ... FOR ALL THINGS... He teaches us, guides us .. and directs us.  Although sometimes .. WE don't understand .. we need to TRUST IN HIM ... and BE GRATEFUL... Those men we there for literally 69 days... praying .. building each other up through times of doubt ... and feeling like there is no way out... In the beginning .. when the people on the outside ... finally found a drill to get to them... the miners were beyond elated with joy and excitement ... screaming, yelling, shouting with joy .. they sent up a note ... "We are all well in the shelter, the 33 of us" their continued faith had brought them through... !!! It was still awhile longer ... before they were actually rescued... BUT THEY STILL REMAINED FAITHFUL... AND GRATEFUL... I learned from this movie experience... it really spoke to me ... and I still remain ... FAITHFUL AND GRATEFUL... GOD WILL BRING US THROUGH....

Aloha & A Hui Hou

Wow wow wow…. thats all i can say at this point… I ordered this movie on demand .. and can watch it as many times as I want during the 48 hour rental… I just watched the end again from 5am on and gonna watch it again … here at 6:30 ….  it does have a kind of “hokey” way in its presentation as they say… but it “really” spoke to my heart about faith, grace and prayer…. and bringing me to my knees .. on what I need to be doing to save some issues in my life, marriage, and family… God does work in mysterious ways… and is “ever present” in our lives… its really what this country really needs as well… thank you Lord for sending me your message … I need to change my attitude and trust more in God’s grace for my life… as HE has the only solutions and direction… the movie is called “War Room” you gotta see it … 

God's work is truly amazing .... I am in constant gratitude for His grace and His direction ... its time for me to fight the "real" enemy ... 

Aloha & A Hui Hou!!!

On this Thanksgiving Day... I began to think and ponder ... the thoughts of "being thankful"... and what REALLY motivates us ...  We can't be motivated by "fear" ... fear of failing ... fear of not being good enough.. fear of not pleasing others.. fear of the unknown.. We need to be motivated by gratitude and thankfulness for all things... things and circumstances ... as God does not make mistakes.. and shows us things through all things... and circumstances ... Sometimes we really don't know why things happen the way they do... but I've learned through many circumstances  in life... that worrying and concern doesn't really help the situation as we think it might ... We preoccupy our time, mind and thoughts with all what we think is going to happen.. trying to figure out why things the way they are .. and what on earth can we can do to change things but sometimes in actuality we are just running in circles... as the plan has already been set... He wants us to be the best we can be and TRUST in Him ... be THANKFUL  .. GRATEFUL and JOYFUL... for what we have ... 

I'm not sure how things got the way they are  ... we all make choices in our lives ... I find it extremely difficult being and living around negative people.. always seeing the doom and gloom in their lives and everyone else too.. God DOESNT MAKE MISTAKES .. and we are all meant and put in these circumstances for a reason whether we really understand or not ..Trust me I'm still working on this task just like everyone else .. It is truly a shame that people don't trust more and worry less... as these negative thoughts from people erode and poison others thoughts ... IF YOU LET THEM...  the key is to be very "thankful & grateful" for whatever things are and learn and grow from these life lessons .. Its an ever changing world out there ... and our gratitude is one of our strongest armors ... along with some positivity and ALOT OF FAITH ... 

KEEP THE FAITH ...

Aloha & A Hui Hou

"POSITIVE" is a choice ....

Everyday... we should be "grateful" for something... whether its a milestone... event, occurrence, choice or anything... I've learned POSITIVE is a choice... 

Its truly a shame... that this is not focused on more in people's lives...

Make the POSITIVE choice today... 

Be grateful....

A Hui Hou!!!!

Wow... new windows are opened ... 

You just never know... what God has in store for us... thats why I'm so very thankful for my very strong faith in God..  

He makes us strong.. and leads us through our trials and tribulations... to our own new personal clearings.. that allows us to see and start new adventures.. or new beginnings or both...  I can honestly say ... I am thankful for my trials.. but you know I'm not calling them that anymore.. as "life lessons.." sounds much more POSITIVE....  

Truly thank for each day... 

learning through my "POSITIVE Life lessons.. "
