rest, pure silence, and pure love
I am listening to Kim Walker's Here's My Song Album as i am taking this day to rest, enjoy pure silence, and take the time to take His pure love in. The song "Can I Have More of You" i don't think by coincidence was playing at the most perfect time I needed to hear it. Doing my laundry and cleaning up my room in the midst of it, I just couldn't help but stop, sit, and receive and sing the words to my Jesus "cause You are good beyond all measure and my heart longs to give You pleasure and You fulfill all my longing. And all my life I will sing...God I love You and all You do. Your joy lives inside and does me good. Can I have more of You? Amazing grace how sweet the sound. And Oh my God you never let me down. Can I have more of You?" It just resounded with my spirit! Yes, tears is a part of my life =D -- tears started to well up out of joy and gratefulness that My God in His greatness is so personal. It just leaves me thankful at the reality that He knows me so well, way more than anyone even more than I know myself. Everyday is an increasing realization of my need of Him! =D

A year and a day...
Howzit! Its been a year and a day since i last wrote! I have been writing a lot more than I have the past 3 years. Yup! I'm been journaling again and it began in the beginning of this year...not on my blog though, just because i don't have a computer of my own and the one I'm on was lent so generously to me by the ministry I work with (Praise the Lord) because it was required to have a laptop for me to take Teaching of English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL). It has been about a month since I completed the course and by the goodness of God I'm still entrusted with the computer. It has been such a blessing to keep in touch with friends, supporters, and family!
God has brought me through a lot this year. A lot of healing, a lot of learning, a lot of wrestling, a lot of growth, a lot of changing,...a lot of renewing the mind, changing thinking, and application of all these things. Praise God for the many personal victories and witnessing victories in the lives of others! All by the grace and love and goodness of God, who deserves the glory! So i want to share some of it with you! Well, I am hoping to share it with you and be able to give Him the glory He deserves! There's been times where I'm real good at it, but more often not so good as you can see...September 24, 2008 was the last time I wrote on my blog! =P
There are a lot of things coming up! Would you partner with me and cover me in your prayers?
Please pray for growing intimacy with Jesus, times of refreshing and filling in the midst of doing, perseverance, His strength and His Joy to fill me, His love will continue to be the outflow of all that I do, the lives of those we meet be transformed in the name of Jesus and that God gets all the glory!
Here is what's coming up for me and for us as a ministry til January of 2010!
October 1 makes 7 years serving in YWAM's Holoholo Ministries. YAY GOD!
October 2 is Holoholo Cafe - one of the many fundraising we do that includes good kine snacks, good music, a touch of Aloha, and building relationships while we cast vision and invite people to be a part of what God is doing in the Kona community.
October 8, 13, 22, and 26 is a weekly Bento fundraiser we do. (Teri-beef, spam, hotdog, kamaboko, over rice for $7.00) All cut and prepared by us and made with love! =D
October 14 is a praise report! An open door in the community! We will be starting an English as a Second Language (ESL) in Kahakai Elementary School working with parents whose mother tongue is a foreign language. It was made official last week! Totally the favor of God!
October 17 we will be hosting a Dessert Banquet to share what God has done and continues to do and will be doing through Holoholo Ministries.
October 24 is our once a month Car Wash...we not only wash and vacuum...we provide the works and do it with excellence! the only way to go! =D
November 12 and 19 Bento fundraiser
November 14 Car Wash
November 30 to December 22 is the reason for all these fundraising that we are doing.
We are flying out to the PHILIPPINES! I along with 3 other staffs (Jessica, Summer, and Debbie) will be following up on the set up for our Hawaii to PHilippines Tour (HI 2 PI Tour) and we will be followed by the rest of the Holoholo family and friends from December 7 through 22nd to be a part of this tour through creative arts such as dance (Hula, tahitian, samoan, hip hop, sign dance), skits, and proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ partnered with the churches in Naga City to follow up on those that will accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. After our break in December we come back and finish preparing for our upcoming Discipleship Training School that begins on January 21st, 2010 (www.holoholo.info if you want more info.)
All for His glory!
Thank you so very much for those of you who have generously supported me and faithfully prayers lifted on my behalf! I need them and know that those prayers are heard and they are felt!
May the blood of Jesus cover you and your ohana. God bless you!
In His Grace,
Jenn
