Cotton Candy Frappuccino

I finally tried the Cotton Candy Frap from Starbucks. It was a tall Vanilla Bean Frappuccino with a pump of raspberry. Yeah. It totally tasted just like cotton candy. So funny! It wasn't my favorite drink ever, but I had to give it a try. It kept seeing it on Instagram and YouTube. So yeah, I gave in.

Here's a picture of what it looks like.

I got the picture from Google.

It's so pink!

 



Broken Car

Our car broke down. My mom was on her way to the dentist when it started acting up. Thankfully she was able to make it safely to the dentist. But she called me to pick her up when she was done. But the next thing I know, she's back at work! What?! Yeah, my mom prayed the car would work. And it did. It's going to get towed on Thursday and get fixed.

It's crazy how God works, you know. It was totally God that it hadn't broken down on me since my phone has been acting up. That would have been terrible! Yeah, my phone works and doesn't work. Eventually I'll do something about it. Maybe. I just keep praying for it to work and it eventually does. It's a nuisance, but hey, that's how it is sometimes.

More Pot Roast Say the People

I had made my delicious Pot Roast yesterday for the outdoor Church service potluck, but my family didn't get their fill. So I made another batch today. They were quite happy. I was too. I came home from doing my hot yoga and scarfed it down! Probably not the best idea, but hey, it was so tasty!

Beach Service & Shave Ice

We had a beach service for church today! Out at Magic Island. I was so sad because my phone was still out of commission, so I was unable to take any pictures with it. Super bummed. It was beautiful. But you know, sometimes you just have to enjoy the beauty while you are in the situation. Even though with today's technology, it seems like everyone everywhere is looking to snap it, post it, share it. Which I love, obviously. But it is healthy to take a step back, breathe, and enjoy life. So maybe my glitchy phone is a hidden blessing. Take control and focus away from my phone and onto better things. Such as my Heavenly Father! :)

After church we got shave ice from Waiola Shave Ice! My favorite!!! Waiola's is the absolute best!

Couple of pics from last Thanksgiving.

My favorite - Strawberry Cream with Ice Cream. Yum!

Me and Kulia :)

Happy Birthday Mom!!!

HAPPY BiRTHDAY TO YOU! HAPPY BiRTHDAY TO YOU! HAPPY BiRTHDAY DEAR BEST MOMMY IN THE WORRLLLLDDDD! HAPPY BiRTHDAY TO YOU! :)

Mommy slept in this morning. So I went to go help out and cook breakfast for a volunteer group thing. This afternoon, I sang to my mommy the song that I wrote for her birthday present. She cried. Success! Haha. I'm hoping to put it up on YouTube. Well, eventually. I've been so busy it's ridiculous. I don't even remember the last time I even put up a video. Redic! We went to dinner at Dave n Buster's to celebrate her birthday. Nom nom.

I love my mommy :)

Man of Steel

My phone has been acting up the past couple of days. Super bummer! And by "acting up," I mean that it won't turn on. It's doing its whole buzzy buzzy thing again. This happened like 6 months ago, and it fixed itself. So I'm kind of just praying that it fixes itself again. I don't want to spend money on a new phone. I like this one. I just want it to work...

After work, I watched Man of Steel with some of my friends. And oh my goodness! That movie was awesome!

Lil' Superman!

Glasses! Love!

Sunrise & A House

I ran home quickly as it started raining on me this morning. Crazy weather, I tell ya! But yesterday I took some cool pictures on my morning walk/run. The sunrise. And a crazy awesome house that's fun to look at. I forgot to post them, so here they are. :)

Fish in the Sea

I ran for a while this morning. It was awesome! Refreshing and all that jazz. We went to the Aquarium today. I like fish. There are so many different kinds. Big ones. Little ones. Beautiful colored ones. I wonder if the plainer fish are jealous of their beauty, or if they don't even notice. Do fish fall in love? The saying that says that there are plenty other fish in the sea has always made me laugh. Like, um, hello, I don't want a fish! This picture is funny though.

Stand Firm

After work I had another Bible Study with one of the teen girls. It was about motives. Her motives for wanting to study the Bible. Her motives on pursuing and building a relationship with God. This got me thinking back to when I was studying the Bible. Before I was baptized and decided to fully dedicate my life to God. At first I wanted to study the Bible because I was impacted by seeing people live out their faith. My motives were part awe, part curiosity. I knew I loved God, but I was unsure of what that meant for my life exactly. During my studies, I was connecting intellectually, but I knew something was missing. I knew God loved me and that he sent his Son to die on the cross for me. But it took me a while before I truly felt it deep in my heart. And once I realized that, there was no turning back. I knew that a life with God was the best way. The ONLY way. Each day I strive to do better, be better, live better. For God. Do what pleases Him and brings Him joy. To make Him smile. Because ultimately it is His opinion that matters. Who cares if the world doesn't agree? Who cares if people think I'm crazy? Who cares if I get teased and persecuted for my faith in Jesus Christ? Not me! I pray that for the rest of my life, I continue to stand firm in the faith I profess. That I may cling to God with all my might and never ever ever let go.

Proverbs 10:25 NIV
"When the storm has swept by, the wicked are gone, but the righteous stand firm forever."

Isaiah 7:9 NIV
"...If you do not stand firm in your faith, you will not stand at all."

Matthew 10:22 NIV
"You will be hated by everyone because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved."

Luke 21:19 NIV
"Stand firm, and you will win life"

1 Corinthians 10:12 NIV
"So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don't fall!"

1 Corinthians 15:58 NIV
"Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain."

1 Corinthians 16:13 NIV
"Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong."

Hide Your Love Away

Song of the week:

Hide Your Love Away - Anthem Lights

"Wherever you are right now, you're already the love of my life."

Here's a lyric video of the song.

I don't know your name yet
I've never even seen your face 
I'm looking with my eyes wide open 
Til I find you in the right time and place

Hide your love away
Wait for me, wait for me
I will do the same
Wait for me, wait for me
There will come a day
When i will finally say
Staring in your eyes...

I've waited my whole life for this night

Every day you're prayed for...
I'm dreaming of you every night
Where ever you are right now
You're already the love of my life 

Hide your love away
Wait for me, wait for me
I will do the same
Wait for me, wait for me
There will come a day 
When I will finally say
Staring in your eyes...

I've waited my whole life for this night

I'm holding on for you 
My heart belongs to you
You're everything that I adore [2x]

Darling your love is spoken for

Hide your love away
Wait for me, wait for me
I will do the same
Wait for me, wait for me 
With every breath you take
Wait for me, wait for me
I will do the same
Wait for me, wait for me
There will come a day
When finally I say
Staring in your eyes
I've waited my whole life
Staring in your eyes...

I've waited my whole life
For this night

I don't know your name yet...
