Our eighteen-month old baby, Leilani, has an amazing appetite, and it is an example of how hungry we need to be for God.

Lord, open the eyes of our hearts to see what You’ve made available for us!
I woke up today thinking about how God has blessed me so much through specific relationships in my life. I’ve met countless people, and from every relationships God has taught me many things.
The other day, my husband asked me “what makes you happy?” My first response was to think about a day on the beach with my family or a bowl of ice cream or reading a good book. I was shocked at first, to see how limited my concept of happiness was.
The truth is that what really makes me happy is a Spirit-filled life.
The word for “hearing” in the Greek and Hebrew also means “to obey.” Most of us need to repent of being hearers of God’s Word only.
When I was eight years old, my family was almost ripped apart by my father’s health issues. But out of this hard time, the Lord taught me and my family some very important things about faith.
