I love the words, I love the acoustic instramentals, I love how sincere the tone of the song is.

Running in Hawaii
After talking with my old running partner, I have been motivated to keep running! It has been a great way to connect with nature and thus connect with God. I run on a path to the waterfront where I take a break and enjoy the sound and view of the ocean and sunset before I head back.

Cool Story
My family has a few friends over here from when my parents used to live in Hawaii. I became Facebook friends with a few of them, in case I ever get the chance to meet them and hang out.
I went to the University of Hawaii's church service last weekend. I love going to church to interact with others who are encouraging and all have one thing in common: we are all continually growing in our relationships with Jesus and learning how to live out our purpose to show His love to others. I am still looking for one church to invest in while I am here, one that I can easily find a ride to and that I feel I could be a part of.
Anyways, a friend took me to her church service and I loved it. At one point a young man came up and they introduced him as Jesse, who was going to give a little talk as this was the last time he was going to attend this church before he is deployed to the states. He shared something God was showing him recently, and as he was talking a lady walked in and was recording him. I thought she looked awfully familiar, like one of my mom's friends who had emailed me from Facebook. I remembered she had a son named Jesse, who I knew was leaving because I got the invite for a going away party for him . I put all of the details together and went up to her afterwards. Turns out she WAS my mom's friend, and she was SO excited to meet me. She went around to everyone saying that my mom 20 years ago had knocked on her door and invited her to bible study, which eventually lead her to accepting Christ. She was so thankful for my mom.
What a coincidence! This person, who I had assumed I probably would have never seen in these four months on the island, was in the same building on a Sunday afternoon as I was! It was a happy moment :)
