Word-Filled Wednesday

Posted on September 3, 2008 by Mokihana

Amy over at The 100-Acre Woods has this neat thing she does every Wednesday.

I took this photo of my hibiscus just before I left for California for my mother’s memorial service/clearing out her house time. We were gone for 11 long days, and while going through everything I was going through, it helped to know that ke Akua [God] never let me stray from His shadow.
