What we see?

When things start to change in a blink of an eye and you don't know why then what do you do? For some, you try and figure out what the cause is and fix it. It's worth the effort. But when you've tried for so long, so many different ways and have gone through so many different avenues then where do you go from there?

I see what I see. God has been in my life for the better part of my life but He has recently entered my heart, my whole heart and has given me peace for awhile now and it feels great. For all that I have been going through He still gives me comfort and direction that I need. Ever since that time my eye's have noticed new things. It's like God gave me a new set of green eye's. I could see God in other people before now; but now I still see that and other things too...

I've been spending a lot of time with my friends. One of my friends has a son with special needs, Morgan. He's an amazing child who is teaching me a lot about life. Life's too short to worry about petty things that can't be changed. To see life in the eye's of a child is one thing, to see life through the eye's of a special needs child is quite another. They are so excited by the simplest thing. When Edith, his mother, put on the movie Lilo and Stitch she said, "Morgan, is that Ohana?" and ever since then you ask Morgan, "Where's Ohana?" and he points to me with an enormous smile...

Just like other people's life, mine is no different. There are things that need to change. But I like my life for the most part. I have an amazing family and great friends.

And as a reminder please keep my uncle in your prayers for the cancer that they found and I just found out that Carrie's grandmother also found out that she has breast cancer. I don't know much detail so if you'd like to; you can stop by her blog and check out what she says. It's unfortunate both our families are affected by cancer but prayers are what they both need so thank you. We both appreciate it. Love you all!

Ohana is a good word. Terms like mother and father get so misused nowadays by people that assume the roll by title only


But ohana....now that really means something, much deeper.
