It's all G from here on out

So after a long two weeks of craziness and name calling and gosh what else??? Ho'oponopono happened and it's all good.
It's good to know that people have a conscience and can see the right from wrong. Sometimes, misplaced or displaced anger just gets out of hand and no one understands why. Then once explained, everyone understands.
Words were already said, spoken, hurt happened... but with a simple "I'm sorry" helps in the healing.
Glad that we're moving on and helping each other grow from all this...

Abomination explained

So.. what do you think?

My God says to Your God...

This weekend I was told by a close "family friend", "My God says that you are an abomination."

I don't do drugs. I an certainly not an alcoholic. I don't steal or am planning on living the life of a theif. I don't beat my kids or hurt any animals. When I drive, I try to stay in the speed limit and follow the rules. I got good grades in school. Graduated with honors. I raised my kids to be respectable people; even making sure my son opens the door for anyone (being a gentleman that he is). Yes, my kids do say please and thank you for everything.

So I suppose the reason why this was said to me was because of the lifestyle I chose to lead.

I do go to church - Grace Bible Church - and worship God. I tithe every Sunday that I do go (which is about 3 out of the 4 times a month).

But... Apparently He's different than the the other God that this person told me she worships. I try to lead an honest life, loving my kids, my family, my partner, my God. I work at a place that I hope I make a difference in someone's life; bringing positive energies and love to as many people I meet.

This being said, I'm discouraged. :( Yes, God does forgive. This I know. But to be told I am an abomination to her God, the words alone hurt.

Growing up...

It's come to my attention that the world is certainly a very "scary" place as my little ones are no longer "little". I could protect them from all the harmful elements and be their guardian.
As time passes, they're growing older... I can't do that anymore. I have to trust their judgement, their choices... they'll be fine, right?
Last night, I found out that one of our girls that we used to coach is in the hospital.. ICU... fighting for her life. Why? A choice she made. Costing her, her life.
I listened to her parents talk so lovingly about her, how she was going to UH Hilo, playing soccer, on the long distance running team... happy, starting her life as a young adult...
We went in to see her.. she looked so peaceful, even though she had all these tubes and IV lines in her. We stood on each side and prayed with her family.
Only God will be able to answer the next questions - will she survive? Will she go home? How will she be if she gets out of it?
I don't ever want to be in that position that her parents are in. I can't even fathom the thought...I cried. I hugged.
So, for any of you that even think that it's just a Spring Break party, think again. There are more things offered there than just a good time with friends.
