http://www.auntiepupule.com/blog/index.php Tales from Chinatown, Honolulu and beyond...reality and back! en http://backend.userland.com/rss092 We had an unexpecting visitor yesterday. Charlie-Boy. He was raised by my sister since he was six months old. Due to his truancy problem, he was put into a controlled environment till he became an adult. He's eighteen years old now. Charlie is a Special Person. He needs medication to keep him balanced and calm. When he became eighteen, his case was closed. However, it was transfered to another agency. He went to live with his biological sister. One night, without warning, he was told to move out. He did and survived the streets for three days. Alas, all his things were stolen. My sister had another Foster Child who is also an adult now go look for Charlie. Miracles do happen when you have faith. He was found and she came to my hale. She took Christy and me to Charlie. Upon seeing him, we embraced him and told him to come home with us. Christy talked to him about the dangers of the streets. Drugs, Gangs, and the reality of what can happen. I told him "You will never be HOMELESS!" He ate and slept well. I went to the office and submitted a request for Charlie. Unfortunately, the rules and regulations are strict. Charlie can stay with me only for two weeks. I made a promise to Charlie. And I also made a promise to my fellow residents that I will continue to reside at MWH even if I get elected in Office. Well, this is now. Charlie needs a home. We'll be searching for a hale in my district! Things happen for a reason. The Lord speaks to my heart and soul.

DelaCerna Jr. http://www.youtube.com/user/auntiepupule Everyone was silent...I turned to PK and sang: Looking Through The Eyes Of Love Please, don't let this feeling end It's everything I am, Everything I wanna be; I can see what's mine now Finding out what's true, Since I've found you Lookin' through the eyes of love. Now I can take the time, I can see my life As it comes up shining now; Reachin' out to touch you, I can feel so much, Since I've found you Lookin' through the eyes of love. REFRAIN: And now, I do believe, That even in a storm, we'll find some light; Knowin' you're beside me, I'm alright. Please don't let this feelin end, It might not come again; And I want to remember How it feels to touch you; How I feel so much, Since I've found you Lookin' through the eyes of love.

Nothing fancy just something simple just like PK and me. We didn't realize our wedding was on Father's Day! Anyways, I'm slowly preparing when I'm suppose to be rushing about. I'm a cook. No pilikia when it comes to parties. All I need is one day preparations. As for my hale...I waiting foa my daughters to take action. P.K. and I are excited as can be. But we're makule so we go at a different pace. We've been there, done dat so to speak. We know the in's and out's of what makes a relationship work. Most of all, we put God first because we know by putting him first...everything else falls into place. Remember couple a months ago, I wrote how Satan was attacking us? We were in so much pilikia. financially and every which way you could think of. One Saturday morning, some church people from Word of Life came to our yard and started to clean and cut our grass. P.K. and I came outside and talked with them. The rest is history. Yes. We started to go to WOL. Every Sunday, we listened to Pastor's sermon about Marriage. We laughed and it was as if he was speaking to only us. One Sunday, Pastor talked about a Widow giving her last money for tithes and offering. That day I wrote a check knowing I didn't have funds to cover it. After service I saw Pastor Fika and told him what I did because I, too was like that widow. He had just received a twenty dollar bill and was trying to put it in my hand. I refused. I looked into his eyes and said "I don't want it...the Lord will see me through." The following day when I went to the bank, I put in my card in the ATM machine. I had forty-eight dollars! I didn't know how I got it or where it came from. It was just there. Call it what you will...I'm not good at math anyways. To me it was the Lord. Our Miracle didn't stop there.
