Mountain Monday


Aloha,

I pray that all of you are doing well. I haven't blogged in a while so I figured I would blog today. I had a very interesting weekend. It was good, just interesting. It was very creative. My husband helped me finish my 5th song. Just have to put some melodies to it. If my keyboard was fixed I could probably come up with something, but the cord doesn't work. So its just lyrics. Which I have to say it is very intense. I love it.


We had a really good sermon yesterday at church, and it got my husband and I thinking. What could we do differently for God, how can we spread his love and his word to others.... Many questions a couple of ideas. I even have another to talk to him about. Maybe its a good one. Who knows. All I know is that we both need to be a part of God's plan and not the worlds. I feel very much alive and very much different. Its like the Holy Spirit is truly just engulfing my soul. Its such a different feeling that I have not experienced yet. And it feels incredible. A lot of ideas.


As for now I wish you all a fantastic week.

Philippians 4:13

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

When God knocks on your heart you will know!


I can't even begin to tell you what has been going on in my life. It has felt as if my life is a bouncy ball. One day its up the next its down. Yet this year I am really coming out of the downs A WHOLE bunch better than I can ever explain. The only reason is because of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! He is truly showing me what I need to see.

Today I woke up not feeling so well. Not sure if its because I am coming down with a little cold or if its because of my allergies. Which ever it may be I was just feeling like I am missing out. Should I have moved so far away from my family and friends. Am I really where I need to be where I want to be. Do you see the repetitive "I". There is a reason for that. It is not about me. It's about what God wants from me. Anyways I awoke from my nap very upset. And I prayed Lord I just want you to talk to me.

So I looked at my bible and said hmm.. Lets just go ahead and open it. Well I like to just skim through the pages and then just pick a page. This time I closed my eyes and just opened. And to my surprise I read Ezra 3: 1-6. However in my bible the New King James version was a page that talks about Zerubbabel. This is what I read:

"Sometimes God's ownership of a project is only recognized after our best efforts have failed. It is dangerous to think of God as responsible for the insignificant details while we take charge of the larger aspects of a project. Instead it is God who is in control and we only play a part in his overall plan. When God gives us important jobs to do, it isn't because he needs our help. Zerubbabel learned this lesson."

It goes on to talk about Zerubbabel's story. This is what just really made me just start to cry because I know God was totally talking to me:

"We do not know what Zerubbabel did during this time. His discouragement, following those first months of excitement and accomplishment, must have been deep. Those feelings eventually hardened into hopelessness. So God sent the prophets Haggai and Zechariah to be Zerubbabel's encouraging companions. They confronted the people's reluctance and comforted their fears. The work began once again with renewed energy and was completed in four years.


Zerubbabel, like many of us, knew how to start well but found it hard to keep going. His success depended on the quality of encouragement he received. Zerubbabel let discouragement get the better of him. But when he let God take control, the work was finished. God is always in control. We must not let circumstances of lack of encouragement slow us from doing the tasks God has given us."

I can't even begin to tell you how completely humbled I felt. I know what I need to do and not let my discouragement that I have placed upon myself get the better of me. God is in control and I know He will get me through this journey.

Take a look and reflect.


Good afternoon.. well 15mins til the afternoon.

So I have been really missing my friends and family. Especially my mom since she is in Vegas celebrating her B-day. She lives about 4 hours south of me. So I don't see her a lot. But honestly I think I see her more than when I lived 30 mins away from her. Anyway as I was working on a project I remembered I hadn't done my devotion yet. Well I am doing a devotion called: living in ... The Active Word with Pastor Bob Coy. Can I tell you this devotion is absolutely AMAZING!! I am on Day 39 - Are We Better Off? 1 Corinthians 1:5 NKJV ....you were enriched in everything by Him. For those not sure what this is about it is about God and how we are enriched by everything He does in our life. Any ways Pastor Bob gives a couple of questions to ask ourselves about what God has done in our lives. These couple of sentences I just want to share with you:

"In fact, when we honestly examine our lives in Christ we have to admit that there isn't a single area of our lives worth keeping that He hasn't been enriching and improving. Take some time today and reflect on the goodness of God. Consider all He has done for you and in you. Remember the place He took you from and compare it to where He has brought you to today. Thank Him for the fact that He has enriched your life in everything. "


Really do this for yourself and you will just have such a humbling and joyful smile because the Lord has truly worked in your life. What an absolutely amazing feeling.


God Bless

~~WOW~~

So I just got back from taking a little drive. And my heart is just filled with love and appreciation for God and all that he does. He is truly working in my life and I feel so blessed and humbled. He is so amazing, all you have to do is trust him. Once you do this seem to feel so right, things fall into place. Even when your scared it just is so right.... He shows you not to be scared and how much He loves you and how much He protects you day in and day out. No matter what time, no matter what circumstance He is there. Just AMAZING!! I am in complete awe... Thank you God for working in my life! I pray that you work in everyone's heart and that they begin to understand the love you have for them.

Hello Monday


Hola my fellow readers!


I hope that you had a fantastic weekend. As for me I had an awesome one. Super relaxed and felt like a mini vacation. Just hung out by the pool and relaxed. Who doesn't need that and right about now it feels like I should be doing that again. Unfortunately its back to work week so that means lots are in stored.


Buddy (my dog) is feeling a lot better. His lump is gone which is fantastic. Hopefully it will stay gone. Have to pray for that one so we don't have to spend more money on a surgery. But whatever God's will is that's what He has in store for us.


I am going to be a busy bee this week. I had a meeting with the boss and had to fill up the whole schedule. I haven't had a schedule like that in the longest time. At least it is stuff I like to do which makes it that much easier. *Glance at Agenda book* I have done everything on the schedule with 3 minutes to spare! WHOOHOO! Now its time for Job #2.


I will be back to post some more. Keep a smile on your face by the time you blink it will be the weekend again!

Joyfulness


What a great day! Its has been a really fun and laid back day. I played Boggle with my mom in law. Boggle is probably my fave board game. I totally rock with that game. It's kinda sickening sometimes. I just find words within seconds I am continuing to write more and more words. It was a good game though.

So today I feel totally blessed. It was an awesome day. Filled with so much real emotions. Some that you take for granted. A clear mind to just look at life in a brand new way. Who wouldn't want that?
Positivity is an amazing thing, and so is joyfulness. Did you know that you can have your happiness taken away from you, but your joyfulness will never be taken away... Its one of the fruits of the Spirit.
Galatians 5:22:23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.
This just makes me smile to know that it is such a gift to have these things given from God. God amazes me each day and reminds me to stop focusing on the "what ifs and negativity" and to start understanding the small things in life.
Nighty night. =)

My Poor Buddy-Roo...


So what a weekend... Yesterday my husband had to rush our oldest dog Buddy to the emergency room. He had a huge lump under his eye. Its was so gross and yet so sad. I felt so bad for him. =(


He is the sweetest dog ever. And he never has had any problems. Thank God. Until yesterday. We were told that the lump could be 3 things: 1 he got scratched by the cats (probably because they are always picking on him), 2 he got bit by a bug or 3 he has to get a tooth removed. We will know in a couple weeks...


Oh well that's what happens. They aren't immortal. Although you would always like to think they are. I just pray that he will get better soon as I don't like to see him in pain. I don't think anyone would want to see their animal in pain. So I just continue to pray that the Lord heals him and that he won't need surgery.


Until we know just pray and continue to love on him. =)
Other than that whole escapade the weekend was good. =)
Have a Magnificent Monday!

T.G.I.F.



Hola!! It's Friday as you can probably tell from my title. What a week!! So glad it is the weekend. Unfortunately when you work from home it seems like the weekend never gets here fast enough. Especially when your office is in your room!! That I must say is the worst, you feel as though you never stop. Oh well. At least the weekend comes and you can get away. So that's always a plus.

As for this weekend. I am planning to do something outside of the house. Being creative maybe writing or making some sort of craft. Maybe doing a little photo shoot. I love taking pictures! I haven't done that in a while, so I might go that route. Maybe a nature photo shoot. There are a lot of nature stuff going on here where I live. Lots and lots of trees! Also really cool birds. Ah look at that, I wrote my blog and figured out what to do this weekend. LOL!

I found this really pretty cool quote yesterday as I was updating my facebook. Have a great weekend I will update on Monday.

"Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail."

....Cupcake....



Being a girl is no cupcake that's for sure!! Mmm a cupcake sounds good right about now. lol It's almost lunch time, so I am allowed to think about food. I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend. As for me it was pretty interesting. A very eye opener moment, or as I would like to think a HUGE reality check. Nothing bad, just a better way to look at life. Those days are always fun!!


As for now I have, as you can tell on the right, started twitter!! WHOOHOO!! I am a huge myspacer, and facebooker. Now I stopped liking myspace because it takes forever to log in, the ads are super annoying, and its a big hoopla. So I started using facebook more. My facebook has my family, and friends. Well now I jumped into the new adventure...TWITTER. At first I was confused and really didn't see the whole point. My husband and I are on it and its actually quite amusing. It's basically a facebook status update thing. I like it, and I am trying to get some friends on there as well.

OOoo on a even better note (Genie Story Time)... So my BFF's got the new Blackberry Bold 9000. I myself wanted the iPhone for i don't know maybe about 6 months. They had the iPhone said it was great but they wanted the Bold to stay in contact with their family since their family has blackberries they can all talk and it is free (instant messaging type of thing) Their family lives in another country so, good point. I would want one too...Well my BFF told me to get the Bold. I was on the fence with that idea since I really wanted the iPhone... Come to find out the iPhone doesn't allow you to take pictures and send it or receive pictures..UMM hello!! you make a really cool phone and it can't do that function... hmmm in my book that's not very impressive! To say the least I have now fallen in love with the Bold and hopefully will be purchasing it soon. But not from AT&T... I used my genie software and found the best price on Amazon!! Yep that's right I used my software again!! whoohoo! Its about $100 less than AT&T. Go ahead and try out the software http://www.genieunlimited.com/. See if you can find a bargain! Good plug dontcha think?! haha

Well have a Terrific Tuesday! =)

God Bless.

Undoing..

Good Morning!

I just wanted to share with everyone this absolutely amazing song from one of my favorite artist. Her name is Francesca Battistelli. She totally rocks. Check out her CD called My Paper Heart. I just ordered her CD this week. I can't wait to get it. Its my new theme CD for the year. Such uplifting songs. Here is one of her songs I am loving right now.


Album: My Paper Heart
Artist: Francesca Battistelli

At twenty years of age I'm still looking for a dream
A war's already waged for my destiny
But You've already won the battle
And You've got great plans for me
Though I can’t always see

(Chorus)
‘Cause I got a couple dents in my fender
Got a couple rips in my jeans
Try to fit the pieces together
But perfection is my enemy
On my own I'm so clumsy
But on Your shoulders I can see
I'm free to be me

When I was just a girl I thought I had it figured out
My life would turn out right, and I'd make it here somehow
But things don't always come that easy
And sometimes I would doubt

(Chorus)

And you’re free to be you

Sometimes I believe that I can do anything
Yet other times I think I've got nothing good to bring
But You look at my heart and You tell me
That I've got all You seek
And it’s easy to believe
Even though

(Chorus)

WhooHoo!!


Good Morning!!


I woke up freezing today! It is 35 degrees out right now and the wind chill of 25!! WHAT is that about!! This is Florida not Antarctica. Don't get me wrong I love the cold weather but this is even cold for me. My friends would be in shock if they read this.


I have had a busy busy morning. Which had been totally awesome! I overcame a Huge deal today and that just made my day. The Lord is really working in my life and I feel extremely humbled and blessed. Joshua 1:9.


So its about 9 more days til Valentines Day! Whoohoo. What do I get for someone I have been with for about 13years. He's already stuck with me! Lol. I have a couple things in mind but I will have to look and compare prices. Even though I was told NO VALENTINES this year!! I never listen. ha ha.


Its better to give then to receive!


Hope everyone has a sunshined filled day! =)

Sunny Days....


Ok so its like 50 degrees outside, and hey well for Florida that FREEZING!! Ha ha. My allergies are driving me nuts. How fun is that?!? It's not at all. Sometimes I wish that I would wake up and BAM the allergies are gone.... but that's a Far Fetched Wish. Oh well.

I have to get things ready to start jump kicking my life back in gear but its one of those days you just want to lay back and relax. As you can see I am a huge procrastinator, but I am not in denial, so that's a plus.

Well I was just looking at my shopping genie to find prices on a Wii. Yep I have been wanting a Wii for about 6months. But with no money comes NO Wii. ha ha. But its nice to look at the pricing starting to decrease by like pennies. Ahh the shopping genie. This is a new tool that helps you buy things online. Its so easy to use. (Yes this is a plug!) There is no viruses attached to it, and it doesn't mess up the computer. Its just an easy toolbar instead of dragging to type up the store your looking for on google, then try to find the search button and then type it up, scroll through the products until you find the right one... well you know the drift. With this tool you just type the item on Google, Yahoo, Msn...(any major search engine). The shopping genie pops up. You click on the store it supplies to you and TADA you see your prices. Easy, easy, easy! Don't believe me try it for yourself. Whats even better you can see a demo of the product.

Here is the link:
I promise you won't be disappointed. Hmmm what else can I plug today. LOL. Just kidding. Thats a pretty good plug if I do say so myself.
Busy busy day ahead for me. Work, Work, Eat, Work, Sleep. How fun, but on the bright side it's the middle of the week so its almost Friday!! Although I am a procrastinator, I do have to say I am an OPTIMIST! Glass always half full!! =)

Enjoy your day, and smile. "If you see someone without a smile, give them yours."

Aloha

Well I guess I should first introduce myself.....
My name is Kinipela, well that's technically my Hawaiian Name. =)
I have a husband, who I have been married to for almost 7 years (in October). He was my high school sweetheart, even though he claims I wasn't his. That's what he claims but he knows better. ha ha. Just kidding. We are extremely close and have a really unique relationship. He is my best friend and I am so blessed that I have him in my life. Truly my soul mate.
We have no kids yet, except for our animals. We have 2 dogs. A rottweiler named Molly and a yorkie named Buddy. They are the best! We also have 2 cats. Both are mixes. Kiko is the all white one with his face black and his tail black. And we have Lily she is brownish/grayish cat.

I have been truly blessed with many things. First and foremost to know who God is and to see his work not only within me but within my family and friends. The Lord has blessed me with great friends and with a wonderful family who support me with each step I take. Who wouldn't want that?!

This blog is about my life what I do day in and day out. How I feel, what bothers me, what amuses me, life situations and such. Hope you enjoy! =)
