Ukulele cover of Hawaii Aloha


I’ve been working on Hawai’i Aloha some more on ukulele and just more on my technique on ukulele so I thought as I get closer to the end of my time here and get ready to say Aloha Hawaii for now I would record a cover of Hawai’i Aloha on the porch of my apartment in Hawaii.  I’ve been trying to learn how to play the roll strum and have taken some lessons from Aldrine at Ukulele Underground.com and have talked to some of the other people from their website as well as watched some videos Aldrine recorded there.  I was watching one of his videos today and with the suggestions Kahai gave me and watching Aldrine play on his videos it just finally clicked on me what I was doing different than him and it started helping me to play the roll strum a little more naturally.   I really love Hawaii.  I feel like there’s almost no other place that is more beautiful.  I love the people and the land and the spirit of Aloha.  I hope to take that wherever I go.  Mahalo for listening to my video and for your prayers for me.  Much Aloha family and to Aldrine and Kahai mahalo nui loa for your encouragement and helping me to become a better ukulele player!! 💖🌺🤙🏻

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. ...
