Holy Pandi-mony - 2020

 

Belle and Chase Kaui - LOVE>covid


Holy Pandi-mony

The girl - the guy. 

The sparks - they fly!

They date - they mesh!

The ring! The dress!


The date. The colors.

The maids. The flowers!

The music. The cake.

The favors made.


Yes, all was chosen 

Plans were set.

And then 

Coronavirus hit!


The courthouse closed for days on end

Their April date came rushing in!

No license? You’re kidding!

No more than 10 at the wedding?


The love they felt for one another

Made all this chaos just one small hurdle.

While everyone thought;

“They could just wait”

The girl - the guy

They weren’t dismayed.


So in the breeze

They said “I do”

They walked the parking lot

And all horns blew

As friends in cars

Cheered and cried

When the handsome groom

Kissed the beautiful Bride.


COVID-19

You’ve made a mess.

But even you can’t stop.

A bride in her dress!





In early April, we were still very limited and unfamiliar with all of the COVID-19 restrictions. Undaunted by each new ruling, this young couple made the decision to go ahead with their wedding with just their immediate family. As a last minute idea - we sent out a post on Facebook; “Anyone who wants to help celebrate - be in the church parking lot ready to blow horns and cheer as the bride and groom exit the building.” 

As the hour grew closer, we realized the immediate family had more than 10 members. Decor was ditched except for a small garland of flowers, and the wedding was moved to the front entrance of the building. Her aisle was formed by the cars gathered. When the groom kissed the bride, horns blared, engines revved, and everyone cheered - as the tears streamed down our faces! It was definitely a wedding to remember!

Write the Vision!

Dreams really do come true... if you work hard enough! I have told my story - but just in case you're new to my life - let me catch you up real quick: In 2008, a breast cancer diagnosis directed me to go back to college and study cancer - and alternative medicine My first day of radiation was also my first day of classes at Everglades University in a Bachelor of Science program In 2012, I graduated with a B.S. in Alternative Medicine In 2016, I received my M.P.H. (Masters in Public Health Administration with a Concentration in Alternative and Complementary Medicine) College opened up information about modalities I knew I wanted to incorporate into my life - with the MAIN TWO being -  Medical Thermography  Japanese technology of Kangen Water.  Long story short, God brought both of these services into my life miraculously. I had my first thermography appointment in May of 2017, which culminated with an offer to buy the Thermography business from the current owner.  And here we are -

Peace is the Umpire!

I recently discovered a new decision-making process. It seemed so practical - so I tucked the thought away in my mind.  A few days later, I read confirmation from the word! So, I used this method and it worked!  Let me share it with you:  This is the formula I found for decisions you need to make; or opportunities to consider.  Step One:  Write out the decision you need to make in your journal or on a notepad. Step Two: How do you feel when you think about accepting the opportunity? Think about saying “Yes, I'm going to do this”. Write out how this thought makes you feel. Step Three: How do you feel when you think about not accepting that opportunity, not going forward? Write out how you feel when you consider just backing off and saying “No, I’m not going to do this”. Step Four: Which of those decisions brought you peace when you considered your answer? My daily Bible reading brought me the following confirmation to use with these steps! Colossians 3:15 GNT The peace that Christ g

Praying Them Home...

I still have a copy of my son Cortt’s deployment orders for Iraq in my old Bible. One glance at that tearstained paper reminds me:   1- God doesn’t always say “Yes”. 2- I have trust issues.     I had faith God was going to delete those orders. I believed He was going to keep my son at home! I was sure of this. I vocalized it! I thanked God daily for it!   When Cortt and his unit shipped out to Afghanistan - my faith wavered slightly - but I was convinced God would not allow him to be sent into the Iraqi war zone!   So, when that dreaded day came - and he called to tell us - “I’m headed into Iraq. I don’t know when I’ll be able to communicate again - I’ll call as soon as I can.” I was done.   My faith failed.   For days on end - I could not - (or would not) pray. I was desperately worried and afraid - but, let me be honest… I was also angry. Why should I talk to God now? He had obviously ignored the past four months of my prayers and fasting. I had felt so much faith! I completely tr
