Aloha Kahalu’u Ward,
When I was asked by Bro. Hiew to write this message I was surprised at the request. I had no idea the weekly message was an assignment and my initial thought was, “Oh noooooo…I am already swamped by life! How am I going to have time to write a message and what can I possibly share that will be, beneficial to anyone?” Of course, this message is more for me than it is you you. Heavenly Father knew I needed to be reminded of Him and this is how he decided to remind me. He gave me a message to write. Thank you, Father. As I have reflected on my week, and what to share, one word comes to mind- Overwhelmed.
Life is the biggest adventure we will ever experience and like all adventures, sometimes we find ourselves experiencing spectacular sights and sometimes we can’t see our hand in front of our face. We can go from joy to misery in a single day, but regardless of the moment, what I am being reminded of is that every part of this life is a culmination of moments, none of which are permanent. The good times won’t last forever. Shucks! The bad times won’t last forever either. Thank heavens!
When I am overwhelmed by life’s trials, I am often reminded of a scripture from Philippians 4:13- “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” Even when I feel like I can’t, I can! Even if I don’t know how, he does! Even when I feel completely lost, he knows exactly where I am. With our Savior’s help we can do more than we thought possible and become more than we thought possible.
My overwhelm brings me to my knees, and in those humble moments, I truly am his child pleading for his help. Our Savior will never impose himself upon us. When we are willing to give him our weaknesses, he is willing to give us his strength.
Thank you Kahaluu Ward for being our ward family.
With Love,
Ka’iulani Lau
YW President, Kahalu'u Ward
