Changes 2013
Dec. 12, 2013
2 Peter 3:9The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count
slowness; but is patient with us, not wishing that any should perish, but that
all should come to repentance.
For some of us it takes time to return to God and altho we fail, God never fails. God loves us long before we ever loved him. 2012 was an epic year for me, after visiting Kauai many years for vacation I have always longed to move here. and I prayed for the Lord to make a way for me to move here by finding me a job; yet it did not happen. I did not visit for almost a year due to illness, by 2010 I was back visiting Kauai and family. God had been working in my life and my life started to change my outlook.
In 2012 I thought I was in the clear after my regular MRI my doctor found the tumor had grown back. After all the test they decided to I need Gamma Knife Radiation. After having the radiation I decided I the quality of live was more important .
Without really praying and getting direction from God, I moved, yet God was already ready for me doing things my own way and he had a plan. I moved to Wailua and during that time I had to learn to be submissive to submit to God In everything.
I know that God will is always the best.
Everyday since we moved to Hanapepe Its a routine the before I leave and when I come home I go outside spend time with my Dog Kolohe and we pray thanking God for everything. I KNOW AND BELIEVE THAT GOD ALWAYS HAS MY BEST INTEREST AND THE BEST TIMING. I have learn to persevere.
Working for my sister in law is a JOY I love what I do. TYJ.
James 4:8-10
Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse
your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Lament,
mourn, and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to gloom.
Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he will exalt you.

The Ultimate Gift, The Ultimate Goal
Oct. 12 2013
The Ultimate Gift, The Ultimate Goal
The word of God is precise, as individuals we all we see the word differently. At times some of us receive the message instantly for others it takes time. Jesus was born for the precise reason as an atonement for mankind, the ulimate gift. Jesus crucifiction was not the end it was the beginning.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life.
In verse 17 through him the world might be saved.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Heaven and eternal life is the ultimate goal,
2 Timothy 4:7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:

2 Timothy 4:7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:
8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.
1 John 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Jesus is the Ultimate Gift and the Ultimate Goal is heaven and eternal life.
This last year I struggle with being submissive, altho I prayed I was not submissive, I would second guess God, I wanted things done my way and yesterday. I had my own agenda when moving here, but God has another plan and being submissive is apart of that plan. God's grace opened my heart and my eyes. Allowed me to experience the Godly relationship he intended for us the ultimate goal of redemption, salvation, to have eternal life in heaven.

Death from within
September 10, 2013
America will not be destroy by bombs it will die from within itself. Looking at were the country is being directed away from God. Look at the media money seem to be the object altho many say it a game, is it a game or is it who we are. How can we speak God yet do things that is not of God.
Matthew 6:24 "No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth. For me I am ashame that sometimes Ido the same and everyday I have to go before God and repent and Thank God for reminding me that I need him. when I am week he is strong.
Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. God love for us is infinite and unconditional. Our we willing to give up all and walk away and be solely depended on God or have we accumulated to much stuff to give it up. I understand having it all and wanting more, not being satisfied. Abandoning God and living for me being selfish, rebellious, disobedient.
When God loves you he forgives you no matter what you have done. he draws you to him because he loves you. It's you that make the choice to follow him.
For God So Loved
John 3:16-17 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. 17"For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.…
Americans have stray so far from God and they don't even realize we are focused on the things of the world and God is far from our thoughts these are crucial times we need to go about winning souls for God.

Labor Day Poems
Sept. 2, 2013
Labor Day Poems
Day Poem
God of shop and marketplace,
Of farm and studio,
Factory and shipping lane,
Of school and busy home:
Bless the produce of our hands.
Redeem our work for Kingdom-use.
By Your grace, our efforts stand,
All offered up to You.
Labor is a blessing and a curse,
Labor is a blessing and a curse,
As one must work to live and live to work.
Better jobs to get up for or worse,
On the whole, with none you'd go berserk.
Remember, then, that dignity requires
Doing, working, laboring -- a role
As giver, as attendant to desires
You recognize within some common soul.
Labor Day officially ends summer,
Labor Day officially ends summer,
As those who work enjoy one final fling.
Blessed are those who bear the daily burden,
Of whom few savants speak or minstrels sing,
Returning to the shallows of September.
Days of ease give way to hours certain,
A long routine that wends its way towards winter,
Yearning for the promises of spring.

There in Eden, You
proclaimed
That we should work the earth –
Stewards over all we named,
Delighting in their worth.
Through our fall we brought decay,
Lost access to Jehovah’s rest.
Through the cross, we rest in faith
And all our labor’s blessed.
That we should work the earth –
Stewards over all we named,
Delighting in their worth.
Through our fall we brought decay,
Lost access to Jehovah’s rest.
Through the cross, we rest in faith
And all our labor’s blessed.
In Your image we are
made:
Creative like You are,
Forming goods for use and trade
Just like You formed the stars.
Send us out in power and skill
To worship through each task assigned.
By Your Spirit we fulfill
The holy, grand design.

Dreams what are their meaning
August 21, 2013
Dreams is their a meaning, normal I can never remember my dreams only last night dream for some reason I remember the words, "Crystal" "Throne." What I remembered was a sea of white what seems like people and 1 person in red. I did not understand why the dream, accept later the word Crystal Throne was brought to mind and decided to search the bible regarding Crystal Throne. Revelation 22:1 And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. I still do not understand the dream yet I know we are living in the end times.
Father God only you know why I dreamed this dream it what the meaning is for me, it will be you that will show me its meanings for me and what is needed.

Are we True Christian
This morning read a posting from a friend and this is what I read.
- Pastor Jeremiah Steepek (pictured below) transformed himself into a homeless person and went to the 10,000 member church that he was to be introduced as the new... pastor that morning. He walked around his soon to be church for 30 minutes while it was filling with people for service....only 3 people out of the 7-10,000 people said hello to him. He asked people for change to buy food....NO ONE in the church gave him change. He went into the sanctuary to sit down in the front of the church and was asked by the ushers if he would please sit n the back. He greeted people to be greeted back with stares and dirty looks, with people looking down on him and judging him.
As he sat in the back of the church, he listened to the church announcements and such. When all that was done, the elders went up and were excited to introduce the new pastor of the church to the congregation........"We would like to introduce to you Pastor Jeremiah Steepek"....The congregation looked around clapping with joy and anticipation.....The homeless man sitting in the back stood up.....and started walking down the aisle.....the clapping stopped with ALL eyes on him....he walked up the altar and took the microphone from the elders (who were in on this) and paused for a moment....then he recited
“Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’ “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’
“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
After he recited this, he looked towards the congregation and told them all what he had experienced that morning...many began to cry and many heads were bowed in shame.... he then said....Today I see a gathering of people......not a church of Jesus Christ. The world has enough people, but not enough disciples...when will YOU decide to become disciples? He then dismissed service until next week.......Being a Christian is more than something you claim. I'ts something you live by and share with others. 
- I will say after reading this I was not surprised, the reaction people had when a homeless person approaches you. The sermon was befitting for what had happen and the congregations reaction, yet it is sad the even christians can react badly we forget the word of God. It is so true being a Christian is something you live by.
- 1 Corinthians 13:4-7,134 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

Faith (Can it be shaken)
Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen
Yesterday two young Mormon Elders came visiting again, they came to share their faith they visited before and I was okay with it, as usual I am not one to confront or debate doctrine or theology. I stand on the promises of God, knowing beyond a shadow of a doubt that God was with me and he would speak for me. They wanted to leave asome literature, at first I took it than I returned it and apologize and explain to them that I did not want to waste their literature that they could use it to share with some else, they politely ask me to humor them and to take it.
During the course of our sharing they shared their beliefs and I shared mine. I shared this scripture with them 1 John 4:1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
It was not a matter of who's doctrine or theology is right or wrong its a matter of sharing the love and the word of God with your neighbor, Before we parted ways there was a reassurrance that indeed I was ok, they politely ask me if I ever need anything to just call them. I reassured them that I was okay. These scriptures were my reassurance of God's unfailing love for me
John 13:34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.
Romans 13:9b-10 and if there is any other commandment, are all summed up in this saying, namely, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”[c] 10 Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
Galatians 5:22-26 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. 24 And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.
The question "Can someone faith and belief be shaken?" For me answering my own question, "yes" it can be shaken if God isn't the true foundation of your life. With God as the true foundation and the cornerstone of your life you can withstand anything that trys to shake your faith, you are able pick yourself up dust yourself off and move forward sometime its easier said then done. With God you can get through it. My faith has come full circle it doesn't mean I am out of the woods the devil uses everything in his arsenal to entrap us.

1 Peter 5:8
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
1John 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

The plagues of today
July 19, 2013
1 Timothy 6:10For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some have been led astray from the faith in their greed, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
Money, fame, noteriaty (the desire to be notice to stand out in a crowd) and status (to be held with high standards and importance) are some of the things that plague Americans. Americans are in awe of famous celebrities and their life style. Media floods the airway with the lifestyle of the Rich and Famous showing how they live. Media also promote reality show, competitive shows that pays out money to the winner its a big and lucrative business.
Are we so obesses with those kinds of achievements. Since the time of creation. Eve was tempted by Satan and ate of the forbidden fruit, mankind lost their ultimate desire to please God. Mankind strive for fame, money, and status, Yet their were Those who stayed faithful Starting with Abel, Seth, Enoch, Noah, Moses, the list goes on.
God provides not only our needs, also our desires. fame, and fortune is possible with God if we put him first. As long as we remain faithful to God all things is possible. Satan uses everything in his arsenal to turn what God has blessed into something evil.
Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
1 Peter 5:8-9Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your
adversary the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may
devour. Withstand him steadfast in your faith, knowing that your brothers who
are in the world are undergoing the same sufferings
Recently my mind has been filled with thoughts that sees America as dying from within. We are plague not like the kinds of plagues that the Eyptians in Moses time. Yet we are plagued with new kinds of plagues, Fame, Fortune, Greed, Sex, Drugs and Alcohol, Acceptance Depression, Noteriaty, Status; we are constantly at war a spiritual warfare. With God we can be victorious and defeat Satan. America has lost its first love. The love of these things are sin. When we put other things before God its a sin. Don't take anyone word as if from God search scripture, if you lack understanding ask God for understanding, test every spirit, for Satan is an imitator.
1 John 4:1-4Beloved, don't believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit who confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit who doesn't confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God, and this is the spirit of the antichrist, of whom you have heard that it comes. Now it is in the world already. You are of God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world.
Satan is not alone he has an Army of demons. God also has an Army of Angels. God sent his son into the world in the flesh to be flesh, to be crucified, buried, and raise on the third day as an atonement of mankinds sin. Satan know he will be defeated he is trying to take as many souls with him to hell will re will remain eternal.
John3:16: For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that
whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
John 14:6: Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one
comes to the Father, except through me.
We as Americans are so caught up in achieving the things of the world that we have given in to the temptation and abandon God. Scripture say we need to pray and to be watchful. I will say that even for me its possible to fall short. In January 2010 God showed laid on me Psalms 1 later that same year a teaching video by youth pastor and lead singer of Casting Crown brought the passage to life. How even devout christians can fall from grace. It doesn't happen overnight it happen gradually like a snowball affect and we don't realize until its too late. With God Its never too late.
1 John 1:9If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. We need to be Faithful and ready, being watchful, always praying and thanking God.
We are in awe of famous people pavorizzi swam them trying to capture pictures of them to sell them to tabloids for big money. 1 John 1:9If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. We need to be Faithful and ready, being watchful, always praying and thanking God.
Media sell show of reality TV of well known people, they also sell shows that pays money to the winner. Shows like Survivor, Big Brother, Hero, Summer Camp etc,. I understand why people get involved, the pay off is Money, Fame, and Status. Money last only awhile unless you invest it. Fame loses it luster and fades away. Status can change in a blink of an eye.

The Jonah's Days
July 2, 2013
The story of Jonah,
If you attended Sunday School church you all know the story of Jonah and the big fish, God gave him a message to deliver to the people of Ninevah. Yet Jonah decides to flee and get far away from Ninevah, and as the story goes God is not pleased he sends a storm, while the storm wages Jonah sleeps below as if nothing is happening, the crew is frighten they pray to there Gods, the captain goes below and finds Jonah sleeping, he shouts and tells him how can you sleep at a time like this, pray to your God maybe he will have mercy on us and save our lives. The captains ask him many question Jonah answers, he tells them he is a Hebrew and he worships the LORD, the God of heaven, who made the sea and the land. Then he tells them he is running away, the crew is terrified. As the storm gets worse they ask Jonah "what should they do to stop the storm?" "Throw me into the sea!" Jonah said, and it will become calm again. For I know that this terrible storm is all my fault.
We all know the story and the outcome. Yet if you read further you realize Jonah's reason for not wanting to deliver God's message. He knew God would show compassion and mercy to the people if they repented. For me God not only had a message for for the people of Ninevah
For me God was teaching Jonah mery, grace, compassion, repentance, love.
Can we show mercy, grace, compassion, do we repent from our sins, do we love unconditionally, do we love our neighbor that was the lesson.

"In God we TRUST"
June 10, 2013
America put alot of emphasis In the statement of "In God we Trust," that phrase is written on our currency, yet they had lost what our forefathers of this great and powerful nation had fought for what is written in our constitution. This nation was built on Faith, Belief, and Trust, in "GOD".
They operative word is "TRUST" we are slowly dying from within we have allowed ourselves to be physicologically Oppressed.
This week has been an eye opening yet I very blantly been called on it. If we say we Trust God yet because its not done my way and now, I take it upon myself to try and get it done. Its like tell God I don't trust, You, you are taking too long and that's not the way I want it done. Then we learn that Trusting in God is giving it all to Him to Surrender all. I learned a valuable lesson and this scripture was brought to full view. .
Proverbs 3: 5 "TRUST in the Lord" with all thine heart, lean not unto thine own understand, In all thy ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct thy path. Why is it that we think we can do it better? We can never unless we TRUST, BELIEVE,and have FAITH, in "GOD" yet God works in his time and his way, when he knows we are ready.

I learned a valuable lesson and this scripture was brought to full view. .
Proverbs 3: 5 "TRUST in the Lord" with all thine heart, lean not unto thine own understand, In all thy ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct thy path. Why is it that we think we can do it better? We can never unless we TRUST, BELIEVE,and have FAITH, in "GOD" yet God works in his time and his way, when he knows we are ready.

"What is On My Mind?"
June 8, 2013
What is on my mind? Much is on my mind trying not to rely on self but to rely solely on God.
Altho is is trying time yet God continues to remind, spend time in The Word of God and to always be in prayer.
Sometimes I get complacent and think I am strong enough to withstand those firery darts that Satan throws and I become easily distracted. God reminds me that Satan comes to steal to kill and to destroy, he is the biggest manipulator by convincing you through pass mistakes that you are not worthy that gOd is angry at you.
When you confessed your sin and asked God to forgive you he has forgiven you. Satan is the father of lies and he knows that Jesus is victorious , he know that the end is near when he will be no more.
He is trying to take as man souls as he can, Scripture says if you resist the devil he will flee from you.
The Word of God is a sharp as a twoedged blade it will cut you. God's Word is our defence against the enemy.
Ephesians 6:10 tells us to be prepared

Ephesians 6:10 tells us to be prepared
10Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
18Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
19And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel
Life as we say will throw everything as for us to give up, yet God is there he is our strength, our refruge, our provider, we need to take up the sword of the spirit and defeat Satan .
Everyday God is with me daily and I sometimes fall and God reminds me that he is there He will help me to be victorious, to triumph.
Without God life is difficult with God all things are possible.
What Have I Been Doing
June 1, 2013
"What have I been doing?" Seemingly it is the ultimate question,really with emphasis "WHAT?" What have I been doing?.
Now that I am older it has taken so long to realize what I have known long before when my parents tried to instilled in my life the importance if drawing close to God. My parents were very involved in church when I was little they did alot. As usual they were distacted draw away from God. Yet my parents were persistant and felt as children we need structure and direction. We were very involved growing up in church. I couldn't wait until I was old enough to get away from attending church.
Proverbs 22:6Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it.
My parents were right sending us to church. As I got older I was so distracted the world look good and as I thought satisfying. I had made so many mistake and my children were caught in the crossfire. My children surferred through the tragic confusion, I later filed for irrecconcilable differences I made many mistakes that had stolen the Joy from my children, and had taken its toll on their lives due to selfishness I am thankful because I slowly learned that God has been in control of my life. I made the wrong decision, and taken the wrong direction in my life and my children suffered because of those decision, and God still was there for them. They may not realized and had done the same as me not realzing that God is in control even when we make wrong choices.
James 1:2-4

2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
God already knew thing we would do. Sometimes it takes some of us a longer time to learn and to really get to understand Gods' direction for us. What saddens me the most is that it took me a long times to understand. The only I can pray is that God will help those that I have hurt to forgive me.
Also that my children to follow and make the same mistakes.
I am now learning what I should have learned long before, praying and hoping that God watch over my children and grandchildren.

2013 A New year (Moving Forward)
2013 A New Year
Romans 8:25, 28 But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently. And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who[i] have been called according to his purpose.
Moving Forward
In closing of year 2012 these scriptures resignated with me; Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. Matthew 6:33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
Romans 8:25, 28 came in the beginning of 2013. With seasons come changes, this is a year of changes, and we believe that this year is a due season. With changes comes lesson learned. to summarize proverbs to trust God for everything, for most of us trusting God is hard but his way is
the best way, we have a few ways of trying to help whatever the situation or circumstancies, God he has unlimited ways and he gets it done.
Believe and let go of the control and give it to God. When God is in control all goes well, we are of more value to him then all that he created, that is why he sent his son Jesus to die for our sins. we need to trust in him. Moving forward the new year is a blessed year stay focus meditate on his word.
