Mokihana’s Story…..
I am truly blessed. I didn’t have a “rough” life, like so many others. I grew up knowing Jesus and believing that He is the only way. Although I had an amazingly loving family, we too had our “problems”.. My parents were not hard core drug users, but did smoke pot on a regular basis. One day God touched their lives and delivered them from that stronghold. They got rid of all the drugs they had and never looked back. I gave my heart to the Lord when I was just a young child. We started attending Door of Faith Church in Wailuku, which is where I met my husband Dune when I was 8 and he was 10. My parents did a wonderful job raising us to know and love the Lord with all our hearts..
As I became an adult, I thought I knew better and wanted to do things on my own. I always kept Him close to my heart, but wanted to be in charge of my own life. I married my best friend, gained a wonderful step son (Joshua) and had two beautiful children (Justin and Jordyn). Yep, I was in control…..wrong!!!! What I failed to realize was that He was there, right next to me, even when I couldn’t, or didn’t want to see Him. He has never left my side. Now that we have “come back” to Him, I can see how He was in control the whole time.
We tried a few different churches over the years, but just never felt like that is where we were supposed to be….until now. We have found a home at Grace Bible Church. A place we feel comfortable and loved. A place where they not only recognize your face, but know your name and honestly care about you and your family. I have found that when I let go…..and let God, good things happen to me. I am so grateful He led us here.
God is good……ALL THE TIME!!!!!
