Kia Orana Kotou

Kia Orana, as we say in the Cook Islands, means, "May you live on." And since it's my first time writing on YWAM Cook Islands's blog (thanks to Darla Unrau for setting it up), may I greet you by saying, "May you live on."
As the year 2014 has already begun, most of us have plans and dreams about what we'd like the year to be like. With all the wonder and excitement that follows, unfortunately some plans don't always turn out exactly the way we want.
So friends, whatever the year has in store for you, "May you live on." With all the joy, fun, surprises, stress, sadness, or as they say, "the good, the bad, and the ugly," May you live on! And let the Lord of Hosts, our Lord Jesus Christ, Prince of Peace, Wonderful Counsellor, help us through. May we see ourselves, our dreams, and our plans for this year through the looking glass, as God sees it.

Kia Orana e Kia Manuia
