Who God is, has been described in different terms since people started asking faith based questions. God has been called a great many things such as "Allah," "Zeus," "Akua," and "Father" to just name a couple. But who is He really? And, am I limiting God by defining Him as a he? But most of all, I have to remember that God is more than a who, but an experience; a what. Like many people before me, I too have an explanation for who and what God is. He is the love, hope and everything that is good in the world.
God is a parental figure. His love is unconditional and I know it will never fade. He may be disappointed at times and the consequence
Honokaa, Hawaii is a place of wonder and beauty. During a beautiful day on June 13th 2008, a 21 year old Hawaiian girl, was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Later that day I received a phone call from Dad telling me that the results came back. She has cancer. Her name is Leihua, and she is my cousin. Living with a cancer patient for a family member is something I could never wish on anyone. But in the last year I have learned more about life and acceptance then I have ever have before.
After hanging up with Dad I learned what Aunt Lori was not telling us. Finding out that Leihua would often black out and go blind for minutes on end was terri
A young women stumbles as she walks,
It seems that shes clumsy as she talks.
At times she mumbles,
Quotes, poems, book titles, and on she rambles.
She is as independent as a burning flame,
Needing only a starting frame.
At times she seems so focused,
Much like a lingering locust.
She is kind and tender to those in need,
More willing then most to take the lead.
Glasses magnify her beautiful brown eyes,
Her clothes are dress-code complied.
With dark hair that seems to have no end,
Flows down in waves and transcends.
A family she has,
So strange, so crazy so filled with pizzazz.
With a mother who teaches and a contra

There comes a time when you have to disappoint people you thought was supposed to accept and love you, with no stipulation. But their disappointment becomes your salvation as you are finally able to overcome you own disappointment in yourself.
I’ve learned that when people put a stipulation on love and acceptance it’s not real. People don’t get to choose what part of someone they get to love, you either love the whole person, or don’t. There comes a time when you let people go, so you can grow.
I've seen them all, from the ugly to the beautiful. When I was younger, I watched my parent's marriage combust into smithereens. I am sure they had their good years together (I don't remember any) but the divorce was much cleaner then the marriage. I watch my aunt who loves her husband more each day-even after 20 years, deployments and adoptions later. I observe my cousins boyfriend cheat on her time after time-but it's like a force filled that pulls them back together. They call it "fate", I just call it foolishness. I may appear ignorant in the love world, and perhaps I am (Never been kissed, much less been in an actual relationship). But
