I hear this same saying everyday now for the last several weeks.... Hang in there theres other worst off then you. Im fully aware of this its now become part of the fire that burns in me. As I seek to to overcome lifes trials and tribulations I have met a few families out there who are truly in need. Children living under busy Nimitz highway in rooms built out of boxes. I HAVE SEEN COUNTLESS PEOPLE LIVING ON SIDEWALKS IN TORN DOWN ROTTEN TENTS, I HAVE SEEN A Mother riding her bike to Kehii Lagoon with plastic bottels on her bike handles on her way to fetch water for her children for the night, I have seen a family of 6 sitting in the park preparing to have thier dinner Praying and asking That the food they eat will grant them strenght, homeless for several months the lady explained she said both her husband and her work. But they make minimum wages and its not enough to feed thier children and pay rent. I have seen homeless Vets walking on the back streets in Barbers Point heading to the beach one said hes been awaiting for just about a year now for shelter in the bldg for homeless Vets. In the past several weeks as I been traveling on in my journey I have taken drives to several low income housings just to kill some time and Kam Forth Housing, Wahiawa Housing even took a drive through KPT and I discovered that there you will see a terrible sight. Wahiawa Housing half of the units are empty 2,3 and 4 bdrm units empty waiting to be fixed, Kam Forth Housing over 4 bldgs empty waiting to be fixed, KPT many units empty in the process of being fixed. As Im observing these issues tears fall from my eyes because I think of the families out there living on the streets. Theres a need for mighty miracles in our homelands. Theres families of our Aina born and raise here crying for assistance. God has increase so much in our land needs to be fixed. So much of our own people suffering on the streets. I went to the Housing office to submit an application the lady so arrogant and rude she before I even said a word told me just fill it out and you have to wait 4 to 5 years before you get word. I went back the follwing week to add some medical documents to my app only to discover they could not find it after 15 minutes of waiting the lady came back to the window you could see she was upset because I humbly explained to her she needed to find it she did tossed in a box in the corner with others apps collecting dust none wasnt even filed yet. In my frustration because the lady at the window was angry with me because I was persistant to follow through what the outreach worker asked me to do I had to take a step back say a Prayer and then deal with her arrogance. This morning as Im reading my scriptures Im reflecting on some of my experiences in the last several weeks. Im frustrated a bit as I think of all that I have seen. Families kids, vets working parents out on the limb living in the streets, what frustrates me the most this morning is not my own struggles but the struggles of others. Our government piss me off really pisses me off. They are burning goverment funding on projects like fences estimated cost 1 million, on the so called rail estimated cost 2-3 million and thats a low number, They are spending government funding on political functions, dinners limos air fair trips etc...etc..etc... All this money they are burning up mean while we have all these housing units vacant waiting for years on end to be fixed, units that would take some of these families off the streets. My God My God My God has increase so much wrong going on to our people of Hawaii. So I pray this morning not for me but for the many families out on the streets, I Pray that a thunder shakes our government and God weeds out the bad political people out and place people who truly care for those who are suffering. And take them off the streets, I pray that the hearts who cry each night putting in thier wishes to be helped Wishes come true. I pray for those of you who had no idea how bad it is out there for the homeless that you take a drive and explore for I know your hearts would feel the same frustrations I do. We need to be a voice for others we all need to be on the same team we have to help these families there are so many empty housing units that if fixed would be a home for a homeless familie. My heart goes out this morning and I ask God to raise me up on Eagles wings and give me wisdom knowledge courage and direction so that I can be a voice for the hearts that bleed. I pray that wishes come through for the less fortunent. I Pray that this will inspire some of you enough to understand these people arent bums they are all humans. Praying this morning asking God to teach me always to Love others no matter the circumstances. The world is in need of Love.. Have a Blessed Day Gang
