It was real good. The main theme through the whole thing was; It's totally awesome to be loving a God so merciful that He would set us apart for Himself and give us the great honor of singing His praises. Any way you look at it, us humans totally getting the better part of the deal! My favorite part was the last 30 minutes, just cuz it was a new vibe/style we haven't played before. Big time prop's to Kaeo again! He brought it! If you want to watch it...<br />

Okay so we didn't get in out on the 25th... ha ha ha! Who cares about Black Friday anyways? I was going to post a video about how the dog ate our album, but it turned out lame. <br />
<br />
So here is the scoop...<br />
<br />
We are receiving the tracks from the mix-down slower than we anticipated... but we have 2 songs completed and ready to go right now.<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b>www.LITLLESONGBIRDS.org</b></span><br />
We are waiting for the last 3 songs, and we will have our EP. The website launch is slated for Saturday, December 10th. You will be able to buy and download the songs from our website on that day.<br />
<br />
We will be having a couple listening luau's here in KC, where the attendees will be able to buy as many albums as they wish before we release it to everyone else. I will be posting information about those as the details get solidified. If you would like to be in on that, just let us know.<br />
<br />
This last week, we did the special music at our church during the offering. Here is a little taste of what the EP is going to be like...<br />

Thanksgiving in Missouri... island style :o)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
I hope you all had an amazing Thanksgiving yesterday. Out here in Missouri, we had an island celebration complete with an imu - translation; underground earth oven. When we can't go to Hawaii for Thanksgiving, we bring Hawaii to us :o) <br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My husband and his friend Matt, another big island boy, decided to dig the oven in Matt's back yard. Making imu's was a very normal thing for my husband when he was growing up in the back woods of Hilo side. So early yesterday morning, the boys (ahem... I mean, men), convened to bring a little bit of Polynesia to the heartland of the USA... you should've seen the neighbors peering through the windows all day! Lol.<br />
<br />
If you would like to see the video of the masterpiece imu, check it out right here at Kris Skeele's blog. <br />

Here is the feedback from the first mom, my friend Marisol...
<b>So</b>. It was a beautiful blue sky day here in Kansas City and I decided that I was going to head to the store to run an errand. I was planning on being quick and not being out of the house too long. Before heading into Wal-Mart,I figured it would be a good time to go through the car wash since my almost one year old son, Elisha, was sleeping so cozy in the back seat. Perfect time to get the truck cleaned and vacuumed out.
I turn into the car wash, pay my 7 bucks, and head on through to get the truck the long over due bath time she so desperately needed. I figured I go the extra mile and vacuum the interior as well. All this and not a peep from Elisha mind you.
There I am. Done and headed for Wal-mart, yes? Not a chance. Keys are in the ignition, turned, and click-click. Nada. No juice left in the battery. Ugh! This is the second time in one week. I may have actually cussed in my head.
I called my husband, Efrain, and didn't even say hello when he answered. "I'm at the car wash and the car isn't starting," I said (or something to that effect). He called Uelese, for the second time this week, and asked for a jump.
I felt horrible! I know how tight their schedule is already and here we are calling on them to come and help. But praise the Lamb, they are family. We love them so much. I remember when I called Uelese a few days ago to tell him that Efrain needed a jump and there was no hesitation from him to go and help. I love this family.
While Uelese was doing his thing under the hood, I hopped in the car with Rachel and chatted and then listened to some of the songs from the cd they're working on. First, I have to say that I was super excited when I found out that they were working on this. As a mom, I am trying to find ways to get the Word into my boys in a way that is fun, but not corny. Now I'm not saying that all kids worship music is corny, but some of it is. Kids get more than we give them credit for. I definitely want music that is going to engage them but not lack the depth that is the Word of God. I mean, this cd has a lull-a-bye that is written from the perspective of Revelation 5 after Jesus opens the 7th seal and there is a 30 minute silence in heaven. Really? Who writes that for a kids cd? And it is beautiful. I mean, I sat there in that car listening, and all three little Faagutus were in the back seat singing along--singing deep truths that most adults don't even know exist in the Bible. This is something special people.
I was sitting there listening to it and I seriously cannot wait for this to be played in my home. Not only is it chalked full of Truth, but it's completely Rachel and Uelese--they brought themselves to this. It is kissed with Island groove and this mama is going to really appreciate that on those days where I wish I could be whisked away to an ocean getaway. Any remnant of the islands helps in those days so this will certainly do the trick:o)
So all of this to say, it was a little kink in our day, but a a wonderful reminder that our Father is raising up musicians that love Him and are faithful to lay down their agendas and follow Him. This mama is so grateful.The Faagutushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09427594435894930692noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5476759759102639465.post-50267631619614608862011-11-07T16:46:00.001-08:002011-11-07T18:52:41.266-08:00OUR BIG NEWS!!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

(the faster you say it, the funner it sounds :o) I am so excited! My friend Mari gave me a huge tip for blogging - VIDEO BLOG! So for those who don't have time to read my mini-books, watch this video. (btw, I am neither the world's greatest photographer or videographer, lol! So please excuse the poor lighting, fuzzy sound and blurry pics. I am doing the best I can just to remember to take the camera with me! Enjoy :o)<br />
<br />
For those of who do have time :o) This morning we went to Paco's studio this morning and tracked the kids vocals for the EP. EP means a 4 to 5 song snapshot of the full length album (8 or more songs). It was three hours of recording mixed with mandatory play time on the swing set outside :o) How else do you keep six year old's focused for that long? I wanna say thanks to Kahi, Bella, Lei, Noah, Kristine, Kala'i, Alyssa, Zoe, Mana, Francis, Kamealoha, and Keala. You guys did such an awesome job today!<br />

<br />
After finishing at the studio, we ran over to the House of Prayer and got ready for the devo. A little inside scoop... usually devo's are 2 hours long. That's a long time to play the guitar by yourself! But today it was only 1 hour, which is completely doable. I think I was so excited from recording that all I wanted to do was praise praise praise! So as soon as my ears could get adjusted to the sound on the stage, I started in on declaring God's goodness.<br />
<br />

</tbody></table>
For those of you who are going to go back and watch it, make sure you watch till about minute 43. Side-Note - This is the fun part about our devo's... everything is <b>spontaneous</b>. We never have a song list. We go on stage with a bunch of songs we <i>could</i> do, but we let Holy Spirit steer us into whatever melodies, rhythms or phrases. At 43 minutes in, my husband motioned to our children and our friends (that had just spent the morning singing for the album, another Hawaiian family here in KC), up onto the stage!! The kids sang with us and it was SO sweet. The prayer room felt like a giant living room for the family of God to rejoice in our Father's love.<br />

For our friends in KC, this is a screamin' deal. Steve is a local and world renown photographer. He did the photography for the Nefarious Project and has worked on a number of weddings here and overseas. He does great work and he is a dear friend of our family. As you can see, we had a blast during our session :o) and I don't like being in front of camera's. Make sure you call ahead of time to make an appointment. Don't wait until last minute or else you might not get in. ($150 for 5 images, and if you wanna pay $50 more, you get all 25 images) See, I told you it was a deal!The Faagutushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09427594435894930692noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5476759759102639465.post-42678519305550396472011-11-04T04:27:00.000-07:002011-11-05T22:33:52.047-07:00!!!KIDS EP ALBUM!!!

I have exciting news. For about fourteen years I have had a dream to record my music. At last, my dream is coming true :o)<br />
<br />
I have never had the opportunity or funding to get into the studio and do the professional job that I have always dreamed of doing. I have had a lot of practice in studios on various different projects, but never a straight shot at a full length project of my own. When we moved to Kansas City almost 4 years ago, I hit the most sobering season of my life. I suddenly shifted out of a season of full-time ministry to the body of Christ and into ministry to my husband and children ONLY. You wanna talk shock! That's what I was in. Ministry career woman gone Betty homemaker, with almost no transition time.<br />
<br />
To make matters more intense, we landed at IHOP-KC. In my mind I thought living here, around the prayer room atmosphere, would be like living on clouds and flinging glory dust all around. After all, we pray day and night here! It was the complete opposite. I spent my first year being rudely awakened out of my slumber as preacher, teacher, singer, worship leader, Sunday school teacher, you name it, told me the unadulterated TRUTH! The truth about God's character, His second coming and my identity...from the BIBLE. <br />
<br />
I wish I could say that I was happy about all this stinging information, but I wasn't. I got angry. I felt duped. And I thought, "My kids are not going to have this problem!" So I would go to weekend services and listen intently, like a deaf person trying to make out words by reading lips. I remember how disoriented I was, but I kept on praying, "Lord, help me get this!"<br />
<br />
It was at the exact time that I was being forced to learn how to be a stay at home mom and homemaker. I didn't have long hours alone to pine over concordances and notes. I had a 1, 3 and 4 year old who all were overdue for much needed mommy time. The first lesson: make a consistent time schedule for each day. So we started each day with worship. And right there, in that basement living room, my kids and I would write songs and little ditty's that would help them (and me) remember the TRUTH about who God is, His second coming, and their identity. <br />
<br />
Although I was not the happiest clam in the sea, the melodies and rhythms that came were very uplifting. Many of the songs were started by something my kids were humming. Between nap times and meal times, while my children were being potty trained and learning to obey, we sang and danced, and I wrote all of the songs down. Those songs got us through some rough times.<br />
<br />
During the year in that basement, I wrote 80 songs. Not all of them were kids songs. Our lives changed and we emerged from the basement leaning on Jesus more than ever :o) He started to transition my husband and I back into public ministry. As people heard us sing, the big question everyone asked was, "I love your music. Do you have a cd?" And every time the answer was a disappointed no. As the Lord honed us in to our calling as missionaries, and we joined a team at IHOP, I thought, "How is this ever going to happen?". We went from living on my husband's earned wages to trusting God to provide every single cent through people who heard God tell them to give to us. That's crazy!!!<br />
<br />
But it worked, because we finally found what our whole family was made for. Fast forwarding to this year, 2011, the long winter of fruitlessness began to pass. We could feel our hearts thawing and a small hope start to live again. I would hear the Lord whisper to me, "Do this kids album first." I would be in discussions trying to strategize how to make the wisest move with the songs God had given us and I would hear Him whisper again, "Do the kids album first."<br />
<br />
I finally laid all of my dreams down, and said yes. Soon after, the least expected thing happened... my husband and I got offered studio time with a trusted worship team member, Paco Arteaga, for free.<br />
<br />
So for the next few weeks, I am going to blog the process. I am going to try my best to share what is happening with you daily, because it is SO exciting. Please stay tuned in. You might not believe some of the God stories as I post them, that's how awesome they are. As of now, the plan is for:<br />

My husband posted this on Facebook, and people loved it so much that I thought I would post it on my blog. You know when you are in the car, the music is blasting, the windows are down, and the wind is blowing in your hair, and you forget that you're NOT a rock star! This was one of those days. We decided to go hard core, as a family! We all started rapping some lyrics from a spontaneous IHOP chorus during an intercession set for Israel. Just in case you can't understand what we are saying, here are the lyrics... (my kids love this song! Way to go, Aaron Leatherdale!)<br />

I LOVE CHRISTMAS! My hubby and I have had the same tree since the first year we got married. I love decorating it. I've got a red and gold theme with angels added in. I love Christmas carols. Even now, on October 11th, as I write this blog entry, I am listening to them on Pandora. I start craving peppermint as soon as the weather starts changing. I even have a plug-in fragrance upstairs in our living room giving off the beautiful aroma of fall. Okay, well I bought the Christmas Febreeze plug-in's at Costco, but didn't have the guts to use them until Nov. 1st! Come on, how crazy do you think that I am? Give me some credit here! :o)<br />

Christmas... October 1st.</td></tr>

Well my wonderful sister Lika (and her daughter) stayed with us this summer. As I have mentioned, she is a missionary in Africa with her family. This means that we've never had the chance to spend a Christmas with her. So this year, after her time in Missouri drew to an end (October 2nd), we decided to have Christmas! We figured that if she couldn't be here for Christmas, then we would move the whole holiday, gifts and all, to the time when we could all enjoy it together... the first weekend in October. Now you really think I am loony, don't you?<br />
<br />
On the evening of the 1st, my hubby and I set up the tree, and I cooked a Christmas turkey. Our Christmas dinner the next day was complete with turkey and gravy, green bean casserole, sweet potato pie, mashed potatoes, cranberry jelly, chocolate peppermint mini-cakes and gifts to go around. Our kids thoroughly enjoyed it! We made a memory. It's something you gotta learn how to do when your kids are young... make little changes SUPER special. Little things like a can of whipped cream and a bag of peppermint sprinkles can help kids always remember that year when the had TWO Christmases.<br />
<br />
So here are some pic's. Enjoy! And by the way, NO, I am NOT taking the tree down until January! <br />

So I went back into the archives on <i>ihop.org</i> and I found the first couple devo's we did. It was around holiday time last year. We had just been on staff for a couple/few months. We were straight out of the internship "Intro To IHOP" and getting our lives rocked by the 6 day a week schedule! We sing at 3, 6am's and 3, 8am's every week. <br />
<br />
On this first one, I remember a tremendous healing anointing being poured out during worship and tons of HOPE came at the end.<br />

<br />
This second one, we invited our friend Victor (who just recently got married, CONGRATS Victor) to play the djembe. It added such a great feel :o) It was so fun. Just an hour of sheer happy praise on Christmas Eve. Throw this devo on to take the holiday blues away.<br />

So after a 5 week trip to the west coast and back, we landed in KC very tired, but grateful that God has placed us here. The trip made us appreciative of the work that we do here in the house of prayer. We realized that the focus on worship and intercession for the last 4 years of our lives has really changed us. We are different people now. It it is a change for the WAY better :o)<br />
<br />
We also came home to the opportunity of a lifetime. My sister and her husband are missionaries in Africa, and they extended an invitation for my hubby to go there. He would help with the work there and in exchange get some much needed dental work done. An added bonus was that my mother, also a missionary in Beira, was there at the same time. My husband just happens to be her #1 SON-IN-LAW! It made for a very enjoyable trip. Every time I called, they were laughing and enjoying one anothers' company.<br />
<br />
So within one week, we decided that he was going... and he did! It was a life changing trip in many ways. If you ever feel stuck, you might need a change in perspective. A scene from the movie Soul Surfer comes to mind. In the movie, the youth group leader, Carrie Underwood, is showing the youth group a photo. She asks what they think it is, and the majority thinks it is a flower or fruit or something. But when she zooms out, it is actually the eyeball of a fly! Ewwww gross. Point made. She goes on to explain that sometimes you can be so "zoomed in" to a situation that you can lose perspective on what actually is going on. The discouragement that comes from that can be rinsed away by a fresh new view of the situation.<br />
<br />
Africa was his zoom out. In America, we are being told how much we CANNOT do because of the economic situation in our nation. But he saw a people who have way less than we have in Africa, and they are still making it. They have roofs over their heads and food on their tables. Even in the most desperate of situations in Africa, business can thrive and God-plans can be made manifest. If God can do it for them, then what is limiting us from using all of the many resources set before us to surge forward into the things God has given us to do?<br />
<br />
He came home with fresh fire and fresh hope... and a fresh new smile that is beautiful. :oD<br />
<br />
Here are some pics from The Apartheid Museum in South, the orphanage he helped in, the market and churches where he and the team ministered.<br />

<a href="http://mediasuite.multicastmedia.com/player.php?v=z4xr9f91">WATCH THE DEVOTIONAL</a><br />
<br />
I thought I would take a little time to explain what goes into doing a devotional set at IHOP. Well, I have never experienced anything like it in public ministry (except for one other setting, which I might explain later). Who would give a person a stage for 2 hours, and say, "sing whatever you want to the Lord, we'll just sit and listen, pray, study the bible, and maybe join in." Well that is exactly what a devotional set is.<br />
<br />
The set, which we were not scheduled for, started at 2pm. On that morning, we got a call from our friend Joanna asking if we would cover for her since she was sick. We were on a date, but since the sitter was already covered, we agreed to fill in. We didn't have too much prep time, but I had some things on my heart I wanted to tell the Lord. <br />
<br />
Over the past 6 months, I have had the most confusing "testing" of the direction we are walking in life. Let me explain. <br />
<br />
I have always loved to sing. I grew up singing all of the time. It might be impossible to be a Hawaiian and NOT sing. And you might as well make me a name tag that says, "Family Minstrel", because I was that girl who sang at every family function, whether it be birthday party, wedding or funeral and many other occasions which I choose not to mention, LOL!<br />
<br />
As a matter of fact, when I went to college, I got a Bachelor of Science because I believed that musicians don't make money (which might be true in many cases :o). I got a practical degree, so I could get a practical job, and music remained a hobby, something that I was "good" at. In my mind, there was no "practical" platform for a singer. You either make it big, or you don't. And if you don't make it big, you'd better know how to do something "practical" to pay the bills. <br />
<br />
My theory was working until one VERY important and life-changing thing happened. I FELL IN LOVE. <br />
<br />
Ahhhhh! Just when I was trying to be practical and safe. I fell in love. My heart slipped away into a relationship that started to change me. It started at the end of high school, and then got really strong in college. I can remember in my sophomore summer of college, learning how to play the guitar. I knew 3 chords, G, C and D. My goal for that summer was to read through the bible. Starting in the new testament, I would read for a couple hours in my empty apartment, and then I would "practice" the guitar... so I thought. I would start by singing worship songs that I already knew, and then before you know it, I was singing off the beaten path. My heart would get tenderized and I would cry when I thought about the man that I was just reading about in the bible. It felt like I was singing right to Jesus. I would pour out my heart before Him, and I knew that He heard me. Hours slipped away so quickly. <br />
<br />
By the grace of God, I never did get that "practical" job. He has kept me singing to Him, my whole life. There have been times when I was hired to be more than a singer, and I did practical things like organize and schedule, make copies, and lead people. But this is the first season in my life where it feels like the Lord has picked me up like a father would do to his daughter, sat me down on a chair (in KC), put the guitar in my hand and said, "Ok, you sit here and sing. Just sing. Sing from your heart. Sing straight to me."<br />
<br />
You would think that I could relax and just do that!!! But no, my "practical" wheels still turn. I am always calculating a way to provide for myself, make a name for myself, make my mark on the world, etc. How does singing do anything practical for me?<br />
<br />
Well, the answer I am finding, I sing in this devotional. When I stress out about life, my heart gets hard. So I started the set by asking the Lord for rain on my heart...we sang spontaneously the whole time...and this chorus came:<br />
<br />
Soften my heart with your water<br />
Soften my will to obey<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIGJR0vYdEZL3WHFwyKPxSx2MXzU6qPfaallOvJBT9yuesXZWerro8iIW6hgwS6IPwBOm5SQy2Aokl7cqEXBW0NcbhRS1d5MXo0l7eNjQ5tnW0VkWpUemqyU61p0D_BTTezTQROWTE7Rsv/s1600/johnnyalmeida.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIGJR0vYdEZL3WHFwyKPxSx2MXzU6qPfaallOvJBT9yuesXZWerro8iIW6hgwS6IPwBOm5SQy2Aokl7cqEXBW0NcbhRS1d5MXo0l7eNjQ5tnW0VkWpUemqyU61p0D_BTTezTQROWTE7Rsv/s1600/johnnyalmeida.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
Toward the middle of the set I started singing a Hawaiian song that was written by my great uncle, Johnny Kameaaloha Almeida, a famous singer in Hawaii almost 100 years ago. I have never sung this song this way: from my heart, to my God. Here is the English translation:<br />
<br />
Let me walk through paradise with You, Lord<br />
Take my hand and lead me there<br />
All my earthly treasures, I gladly give<br />
Teach me how to love and how to share<br />
<br />
Greed and lust and vanity were mine, Lord<br />
Until I found your love divine<br />
And now I'm on my knees<br />
I pray I'll find a way<br />
Let me walk through paradise with you<br />
<br />
A light went on inside of my heart. This is what I am dealing with; greed, lust, and vanity. I am so consumed with myself and my ideas of what safety, success and provision are, that I have allowed it to distract me from doing the very thing that brings me into the presence of God... SINGING, more specifically, singing from a heart that is alive to Jesus, who is really listening.<br />
<br />
So, no kidding, for the umpteenth million time, I told the Lord again, "I will sing! I will sit here, where you have placed me, and I will sing from my heart. I will sing straight to You." I finished the set with the familiar fragrance flowing from my heart. It was the same song I sang in college. The song of devotion that flows from a heart that has been forever changed by divine Love. I guess that's why the call it a DEVOTIONAL ;o)<br />

Hey guys! Well, I wanted to share a video with you :o) We got the awesome privilege to lead an intercession set at IHOP. It was completely unexpected, but an absolute blast!! Thanks to some of our friends on staff that we play with outside of the prayer room, we were able to come together and "keep the fire burning" with a little island flavor. For a Sunday 6am, and this being my first time leading a team in the intercession format, we had so much fun. If you've got a little time to listen, please do! And enjoy :o) CLICK HERE:<br />

(Summer 2011)Probably the best thing I have ever heard of - finishing out Kids Kamp at a huge amusement park. It was SO fun. Here is a video of my two younger ones going on their first roller coaster ride. Usually they are too short to ride, but this park had a kiddie amusement park built in. I love this video because it shows their completely opposite reactions to the ride. The youngest is more careful and the older one is more daring... but at the end they are both exhilarated by their first roller coaster ride... And the cool thing is that they got to experience it together as brother and sister!<br />

We got the amazingly bodacious opportunity to lead worship for the Rez Kids Kamp. Now, this was like a blast from the past for me, because I used to do kids camps and youth camps in my "younger" years (no specifics are given so as to protect the youthful identity of the writer). <br />
<br />
Since those times, not so long ago, I got married and had children of my own, so the game has changed quite a bit. In KC, we sing with state of the art sound equipment, so we work with an in-ear monitor system that has got us spoiled! And for anyone who has been to summer camps, you know that sound is NOT a priority in most. So worship ends up being the time to bang away on instruments, in a small room, with acoustics that make everything sound 10 times louder than it is. But as LOUD as that might sound, none of it matters when the Spirit of God shows up... and He did come! There is nothing like a room filled with 4th, 5th and 6th graders singing their hearts out to God with their hands lifted high. It was so sweet to watch Holy Spirit melt hearts and change lives. Little pockets of kids start crying, and they don't even know why. Hearing the God stories after these worship times was awesome. God really does come when we praise Him, and He knows exactly what each child needs to experience so that they can know Him better.<br />
<br />
Our family had a bunch of firsts - it was the first time that our children ministered with us. The two younger ones prayed for people. Our oldest one helped teach the words and motions to a couple songs.<br />
<br />
Our kids got to shoot bows and arrows, go put-put golfing, make awesome friends, play goofy camp games, enter the cake decorating contest, eat camp food and worship with other kids who loved God.<br />
<br />
Here is some video of LEI TEACHING MOTIONS to a new song<br />

(Summer 2011)As we journeyed back eastward from California, we stopped by The Wall in Colorado Springs. The Wall is a prayer room that is a sister ministry of Every Home for Christ. We have many friends who work at The Wall. Full time intercessors who pray and worship as a vocation. We got the amazing opportunity to sing there for a 2 hour set. It was a worship with the word and we focused on Psalm 23. <br />
<br />
The set was HILARIOUS! Have you ever had one of those days when you were so tired that you started mixing up words in a sentence. Like instead of saying, "I'd like a piece of gum please", you say, "I'd like a geese of plum please." Well I was tired from driving 10 hours and.......<br />

So me and Mr. Island Wonder (stage name for my husband :o)... have this one chorus that we love to sing from Song of Solomon. The words are -<br />
<br />
Let me see your face<br />
Let me hear your voice<br />
For your voice is sweet<br />
And your face is lovely<br />
<br />
Well we started the set, and the room absolutely emptied!... which is not uncommon for ministry in prayer rooms. There was an important meeting during our set time, so it was convenient for us to do the set in the prayer room so that all the regulars could go get encouraged by their leaders. Needless to say, but I will anyway,<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> AN EMPTY ROOM IS THE GREATEST TEST OF A SINGER'S EGO</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> </span></span>Your mind starts racing through all of these questions like, "what am I doing here?" and statements like, "we could've done this at home in our living room". All the while, the songs keep flowing out of your mouth as you are trying to keep your heart right because you are mindful of the fact that the Lord is listening mostly to what is going on in your heart! So as I am wading through all of this emotional muck and trying to sing a true song to the Lord, with a tired body and worn out mind... these lyrics come out -<br />
<br />
Let me hear your face<br />
Let me see your voice<br />
For your voice is sweet<br />
And your face is lovely<br />
<br />
I didn't even notice what I had said until my husband burst out in laughter! It kind of shook me awake :o) And as I am playing the guitar, he starts repeating what I sang and giggling through it until neither of us could sing because we were laughing so hard. So for about 5 minutes we tried to pull ourselves together as we laughed until we cried over the soothing rhythms of the guitar. <br />
<br />
We were there for the Lord that day. He enjoyed it! And we did too. There was no pressure to perform from the Lord, or the empty room, LOL!!!The Faagutushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09427594435894930692noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5476759759102639465.post-67818943912954066632011-10-03T21:50:00.000-07:002011-10-03T21:50:52.159-07:00Fijians in New Mexico (Summer 2011)If you know our family, we can find an islander ANYWHERE! My husband has an uncanny way of attracting them to us. Islanders have this unspoken ability to find one another no matter how far from the islands you may be. Well in our case, as we left California, we were headed to Colorado. So we decided to stop by at our friends Chris and Heidi's house for a little rest and a MUCH needed hang out time with our long time island friends. I went to college with Heidi. She and I have something alike, we both married happy island men who love the Lord... and then moved very far away from the islands. Being so far away from home has its plus-es and minus-es. One thing we have learned is that when friends from the islands come to visit, it is like having family there with us. We laugh at those island jokes (island humor can be very simple), we eat island food (in this case it was Indian, yummy curry and dahl), we tell island stories (which are always loaded with humor) and we sing island songs late into the night... and goodbye's take forever (complete with tears and blessings and the pouring out of affectionate hopes of seeing one another again very soon).<br />
<br />
While we were with them, we went to the zoo. Our kids enjoyed it thoroughly. Our children consider one another cousins :o) We had good quality time watching these poor animals, imported from all around the world, learn how to adapt to tiny zoo quarters in the middle of the North American continent. Hey! Wait a minute, that's how we feel!!! LOL! You might ask yourself, "what's a polar bear doing in the desert?" I did!! But then again, what is a Samoan doing in Kansas City? ;o)<br />

We got a chance to be right in the middle of a scene from "Finding Nemo". We were boating underneath a bunch of pelicans that were dive bombing into the water and pushing fish up for the dolphin to eat. For almost the whole time we were out on the water, there were schools of dolphins swimming alongside the boat. They were so close that we could reach out into the water and touch them! It was amazing. Now I am not the tree-huggin', dolphin-pettin' type, but it felt like we were right in the middle of a God ordained moment. Don't tell anyone, but I actually started to cry during the experience. I remember thinking, "Why am I crying?" This is the only conclusion I could come to... of all of the places we could have experienced God's presence during a ministry trip, who would've thought it would be on a boat in the water out among all of those creatures God created and on the sea that God formed and told where it's edges would be. Pastor Craig said that what happened that day has only happened to him twice in his life. I think we all realized that God wanted to make the day special for all of us. You can hear everyone on the boat, even the adults, totally hooting and shouting in awe and excitement. Enjoy the video :o) <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span><br />

We had a blast! The kids got to go to vacation bible school, and me and Uelese got a chance to sing some of our music for the church and work with their amazing worship team. At the end of our stay there, we were able to do a two hour harp and bowl set with the worship team. It was SO good. We were able to minister with grace. No heaviness or drudging through the set :o) Those are the fun one's. We all finished energized! The debrief was electric and VERY encouraging. We were all just noticing the best in one another and recognizing that Holy Spirit really was teaching us how to sing the bible... and it was enjoyable and EASY.<br />

Per the wonderful Pastor Craig's hospitality, we went on two expeditions that we will never forget! One thing that is true about the New Life crew is that they PRAY hard and they PLAY hard. A FUN bunch of folks to be around. <br />
