Ukulele lesson...embracing the Hawaiian culture

Hey y’all I had my second ukulele lesson today with Aldrine from ukulele underground.com!  It was so amazing and he was so sweet and patient and helpful!  Y’all it was a dream come true to have a lesson with him!!!




To give you a little backstory I started praying about coming to Hawaii in November of 2017.  I’ve been wanting to come my whole life though!  I’ve always loved the ukulele and the sound of it and have wanted to learn how to play it!  I went on YouTube and was looking for video tutorials on how to play the ukulele.  I would always come to the videos by Aldrine and at the end they would advertise their website ukuleleunderground.com.  At first I didn’t really think much of it but then I decided to finally check it out and subscribe to it a couple of weeks or so before I went to Hawaii.  Y’all it was one of the best decisions I’ve made!  They are so sweet and helpful and are so good with teaching you how to play the ukulele and about the Hawaiian language and music!  Aldrine is so sweet and patient! It takes me a while to learn things sometimes so mahalo nui loa to him for being so patient and helpful to me! Anyways my dream is to meet him in person one day and see him perform live!  If I can get to Kauiu before I leave I might try,  but for now it’s been so amazing to have had lessons with him! It has really helped me to improve on the ukulele and to get the Hawaiian style of playing and to get to know the Hawaiian language.  If y'all want to learn the ukulele or want to learn it better I would highly recommend that you go and check out their website www.ukuleleunderground.com

Mahalo and aloha nui loa!!! A hui hou! 💖🌺🤙🏻

Perfect peace

The wind. The rain. The clouds.  Sunsets.  Cool air. To some people those things might not bring a sense of peace and comfort but to me it’s amazing.  It’s so peaceful and beautiful.  I could stay outside all the time when it’s like that. Peaceful.  Calming.  But there’s a peace that’s even greater than that.  There is a peace that can only come from Christ.  There is a peace that passes all understanding. “The steadfast of mind You will keep in perfect  peace, Because he trusts in You.” Isaiah 26:3 "And the peace of God, which surpasses all [ a ] comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."  Philippians 4:7 "Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful."  John 14:27   "O Lord , You have searched me and known me . You know [ a ] when I sit down and [ b ] when I rise up...

It’s a new year

Man I’ve turned 35.  I’m another year older. I guess it’s only downhill from here I guess or uphill haha.  I’d like to say I’m another year wiser and that I’m more like Christ and I definitely think I’m more like Christ. I think God has given me more wisdom also.  I’m just not anywhere near where I want to be.  Today was just another day really.  I didn’t really do much to celebrate it.  I went to Starbucks with a sweet friend who gave me a present.  I was kind of disappointed that I didn’t really have a party or anything even though other friends had had parties.  I realized that I was just being selfish and self focused. Sometimes I feel like I’m invisible or that people don’t notice me as much but even that is being self focused.  I was wanting a party so I could be with people and celebrate but I was also just wanting attention. I was thinking about this one time one of my friends Kaycee had one of our friends Laura make me a cake for m...

My journey of Faith and how God has guided me

Image
                           “A man’s heart plans his way but the Lord directs His steps.”  Proverbs 16:9 I’ve been thinking about this verse a lot lately and how true it has been in my life.  When I went home for Christmas after I graduated with my MDiv in Missions in December my plan was to find a biblical counseling internship somewhere.  I had looked different places but nothing had worked out. I looked on the biblical counseling website which is the website for the Association of Certified Biblical Counseling.  I had looked at Washington and it didn’t work out and I looked in Oregon and one of the first names I saw was Mitch Lamotte.  On December 29 I emailed Mitch Lamotte from Southwest Hills Baptist Church about doing a biblical counseling internship at their church.  He told me about the biblical counseling pastor at the church, Kerry Francetice. ...
