I`ve learned a lot about the Hawaiian culture while I`ve been here, it`s so rich and beautiful.
I had no idea. I`ve just seen the hula dancers before, and thought that was it.
I didn`t know the meaning of the Haka or the chanting. I pretty much thought it was about worshiping ancestors and trees:)
I know that for some it`s still about that, giving thanks to different Gods of the nature.
What i experienced since I came here though is the fact that their dances, ceremonies, and language most of the time express their honor, respect and fear of the same God that I´m serving. I`ve learned to see God in a new way. He is so diverse and he got endless of ways of showing Him self to us.
The way the Ilanders see God in the nature is amaaazing..
I`ts so much to discover in his creation. The nature in it self is a language from him to us and as we continue to learn that language we`re gonna discover and learn more about God and connect deeper with him. As I dive deeper into it, I see how he speaks to us through the air, wind, fire, water and through the earth.
Even how they read the word is different from what i`m used to.
You can read it in so many ways, and one way doesn`t exclude the other.
Things I read a thousand times suddenly got new meaning to me.
Pieces falling into place.
"Romans 20 For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse."
