Pulelehua Inspirations

Last week Thursday we made the two hour+ drive to Warrenton, OR for Youth Summer Camp. This was the first youth camp that Jeff and I have been a part of, we were excited and nervous at the same time. Surprisingly, the kids were energized after the long bus ride, while I was ready for lights out haha! Hey I'm old! lol After a time of devotions, they played games and a nacho bar was set up for snacks. Then it was lights out HALLELUJAH!! 😊 We spent most of Friday down in Seaside where the five teams challenged each other in arcade games, scavenger hunt, and other fun events. We went to Sunset Beach and watched the beautiful sunset, (I wished I remembered to take a picture!), played volleyball and a VERY competitive game of tug of war. **Everyone stands in a circle holding approximately 2' of rope in each hand. A trash can is placed in the middle and the object is to get a person to either touch the trash can or let go of the rope. Last man standing is the winner.** Hotdogs and ...

Hmm…what would the title be? As I sit and ponder on this question, a few titles come to mind.   ‘God’s Not Finished with Me Yet,’ ‘He’s Still Working on Me,’ or maybe, (just for fun), ‘Keep Chuggin’ Along!’ The last suggestion was of course just for fun, but encouraging don’t you think? Throughout my walk with Christ, I have faced many trials.  The path that God has laid out for me is often times a difficult one to follow.   I find myself wanting to control every situation in my life.  My way will undoubtedly bring chaos and anxiety.   My way will NEVER work.   Because no matter how much I try to control the situation, GOD IS IN CONTROL !!! No matter how much I plea and cry out to Him, if it's not His will, it’ll never be.  I must put my trust in Him and believe that He knows what's best for me. Learning to trust someone, (even if it's the Creator of the Universe), has been something I've battled with for most of my li...

The other night while watching Facing the Giants, God revealed something to me.  It was during the scene where the older gentleman prayed as he walked down the hallway while laying hands on the students’ lockers.  Over the next few days I could not get that scene out of my head.  I prayed and asked God what does He want me to do? He said, encourage the church to take their children back from the lies of the enemy!! I pray that this will shake you up as it did me when God first laid this question on my heart. I pray you heed His word. # # # Do you want your children to go to hell? What?? Why would you ask such a question?! I know that's probably going through your mind right now.  So, why would I ask a question like this? Because GOD is asking this of YOU!! It's time we stop sitting back, letting others do what we should be doing.  Stop waiting for the day to 'meet me at the flag pole' to pray for our children.  It's OUR...

What's My Passion? What's my passion? I've been pondering this question since yesterday.  I have always loved writing, it helps to get my thoughts in order.  I can remember sitting on the rock wall in our front yard jotting down lyrics to a song or poem.  It was during my early teens where I believe God had given me the gift to create beautiful pictures with words.  I look back at some of the songs and poems that I've written and I see how the Lord has brought me out of the valleys.  It reminds me that even in my most loneliest, darkest times, God was still with me.  The bible says that He, God, will never leave us nor forsake us.  I believe with my whole heart that He never will.  I also believe with my whole heart that I can hide under the shadow of the Almighty and find rest in Him. Writing is my passion, but somewhere somehow I lost sight of it.  I began to doubt that this was my calling, my way of 's...
