    HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) -

    Caught up in the emotion of the moment, it was nearly impossible for Nohealani Ching to take it all in.

    MORE

    • Homeless In Hawaii
      [​IMG]
      Hawaii News Now and the StarAdvertiser join forces to report on Hawaii's homeless crisis.MORE

    "It's just amazing. Everything. Just walking into a place I'm going to call my own home again, it's just something I can't explain," she said. "I can't wait to see my kids' reaction."

    The past year has tested the 29-year-old single mother in ways she couldn't imagine. Despite working full-time as a caregiver, she and her three children were evicted from their Mililani apartment last January when she couldn't make rent.

    From there, they bounced between the street and friend's couches before taking refuge at local churches through the group Family Promise.

    Now, Ching and her children will be one of the first 30 families to move into Kahauiki Village, the affordable plantation-style development that's been built on an old paintball field across from the Nimitz Viaduct.

    It was paid for through a public-private partnership. Each house will belong to someone who was previously homeless and is just getting back on their feet.

    Move in day for the first phase of the project is January 12.

    "I love it. I just love everything. It has a bed inside. I don't have beds," said Ching. "It has a ceiling fan. I've never had a ceiling fan before."

    Family Promise housing specialist Ashleigh Loa has been working with Ching since September.

    "They've put in a lot of work to be able to come here. We have taught them financial literacy, so when we're out and they're on their own, they'll be fine without our help," said Loa.

    Rent for a two bedroom unit, including utilities, is $900 per month – about half what Ching paid at her old apartment.

    "This is what I need. Especially being a single mom and struggling. It's hard," said Ching.

    With packing already complete Ching plans to spend the next few weeks just focusing on work and preparing her children for the next chapter of their lives.

    "I'm just so grateful and beyond blessed. My kids are grateful, too. I know they'll be so happy," said Ching.

    When the village is complete, there will be a total of 150 homes – along with a daycare, a preschool center and a convenience store – all on site.

    'And the cost of the unit is around 900 dollars, that's about 'half' of what.....'

    Who would have ever thought that Honolulu would become as any other major City in the U.S?

    If you are unaware of what I'm saying, then you would more likely find this post a bit strange.. But for those that do understand, it isn't as odd as many might think.

    What are the factors that drive up rent costs? Land property taxes? New Land Owners? New Property owners?

    What are the factors that drive up rent costs?

    Rent increases can occur on all levels IF the 'more wealthy' are interested in tenancy.

    The God blessed 'wealth' used for self purposes is the same as any God blessed gift used for 'self' purposes. It will not fare well.

    Ezekiel 28:1-2

    "The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,

    Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God:"

    Ezekiel 28:19
    "All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more."


    Who knows of such a human? I thought fallen angels were ghouls and spiritual ones?


    Pychosis or no?


    Ezekiel 28:16,18


    "By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire."


    "Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee."


    Because of the multitude of the merchandise, through the iniquity of traffiking, the riches has gotten the better of this one.

    Ezekiel 28:15
    "Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee."

    But this person was 'perfect', not as God is perfect, but as a freely Justified one through Christ Jesus, until iniquity got the better of this one.


    An ex-saint bringing shame to his/her Heavenly Father.


    Proverbs 29:15
    "The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame."


    Galatians 4:26
    "But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all."

    Revelation 21:2
    "And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband."


    Revelation 21:9
    "And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife."

    The Cure Lyrics
    "Why Can't I Be You?"

    You're so gorgeous I'll do anything
    I'll kiss you from your feet
    To where your head begins
    You're so perfect you're so right as rain
    You make me
    Make me hungry again

    Everything you do is irresistable
    Everything you do is simply kissable
    Why can't I be you?

    I'll run around in circles
    Til I run out of breath
    I'll eat you all up
    Or I'll just hug you to death
    You're so wonderful
    Too good to be true
    You make me
    Make me hungry for you

    Everything you do is simply delicate
    Everything you do is quite angelicate
    Why can't I be you?

    You turn my head when you turn around
    You turn the whole world upside down
    I'm smitten I'm bitten I'm hooked I'm cooked
    I'm stuck like glue
    You make me
    Make me hungry for you

    Everything you do is simply dreamy
    Everything you do is quite delicious
    Why can't I be you?
    Why can't I be you?
    Why can't I be you?

    An ex saint trying to 'steal' the Bride of Christ away.

    Such things are not even mentioned among the Gentiles as noteworthy and acceptable more less to the Jews..

    Yet the entire human race and animal species and all other living thing on earth and non living thing on earth, has to wait and watch as a rebellious child is at angst with his/her Heavenly Father and Christ and His Bride.. Maybe the entire Heavenly Family.

    So we wait and wait and wait all the while letting our very own kids be as that rebellious son or daughter.

    We can't do 'more' that God is doing, right? Especially if we don't know we have the rights to do so...


    Everyone will have their personal interpretation of Familial matters and ways...

    I have the heard the saying, 'I am proud to be a parent'.. And I have heard the saying, 'I am grieved to be a parent'.

    I have seen children be denied and I have seen children be overly loved. Once again a personal interpretation of familial ways and matters.. Other family's ways and matters should not be my family's concern since we have our own ways and matters to which we need to first tend to with the help of God, Who is Love.

    It might be difficult enough for any saint to remain a saint and saintly during times such as these.. And if a person should become an ex saint because of such things as these, then what becomes of their personal families?

    And that is the Blessedness of God which HE gives to all of His. To keep able. For HE knows what we are able to handle.

    1 Corinthians 10:13
    "There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it."


    His saints need only to cling to that which is Good.

    Romans 12:9
    "Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good."


    The easy part, or the difficult part, is holding fast to that which is 'good'.


    When a person is tempted, how will he/she know to hold fast to that which is 'good' without anyone to tell them or to remind them? Edification is needed.. Without proper friends or family to edify properly, the journey is much more difficult.

    The family which loves one another in 'goodness' is not easily separated.

    Whom do the 'wolves' in sheeps' clothing have to assist them 'hold onto' that which is 'good'?

    But they, just like any other human, is a living breathing person who is also in need of a Savior.

    That's why The Holy Bible and even The Qur'an repeatedly says to turn from 'evil' to 'good'.. To remain with 'evil' will not fare well when the times of testings are given.

    Complaining that the testings were never requested will not avail to anything.. The whole world and all that are on it will be given these tests regardless of majority votes..

    Noone 'votes' to be birthed.

    Besides, what can be so difficult or dreadful of having a good family life with your other family members?

    Those in loving families are blessed of The LORD.. Why say anything to the contrary?


    How long should The Holy Spirit be kept to grieve?

    Would it be possible for God to want to be a fully 46 chromosomed human being without wanting to play Monopoly? Is it even possible for God to be a fully 46 chromosomed human being? Or for a fully 46 chromosomed human person to be God?
