Seeing as to how I am starting this a little over a week late, I am going to try and play catch-up!

Of course Kuu would have to be the very first
person I blog about. After all, she is my best friend.

So who is Kuulei Lucena and what makes her so special? Simple... everything. There is no doubt in my mind that this woman is going to be influence the lives of many people. I have never met anyone like her before. She is unique in every way.
The first thing I think of when I think of Kuu is "woman of God". She truly is a woman who is anointed; set apart for the purposes of God and called blessed. The grace on her life is like a well which never runs dry. Everything she puts her hand to, is marked by grace because some how every situation seems to work out for good. EVERYTHING. Some times I wonder if there is anything she is actually bad at.... haha. It's true! My favorite is her pastoral qualities. The quality to lead. She always steps into every relationship with some form of purpose. Either you are pouring into her, or she is longing to pour into you. She loves to pastor. You can tell from the way she leads her small groups, to even the friends who want to be around her. I honestly can not wait to see how God is going to use her down in California.
Not only is she an incredible pastor but she is a good friend. She knows how to just have fun. Well balanced all the way through. There is always a time to get things done, which she always gets done, but then there is a time to forget about all of it and just put some sweats on and just drive to the middle of know where and look at the stars. She was always my partner in crime. From road trips, to traveling, to simple runs to the art store, to jumping on the roof of a car to star gaze, to going hiking and cave adventuring and so much more. Kuulei is always willing to have fun. As long as she isn't going to die. She loves the hype of being around people and friends and is always to jump into the party. Everything around her seems so exciting and you can tell by the beautiful smile on her face.
Yes, she is beautiful. Always having a good fashion sense, and always learning new tips on make up or hair. The woman is put together and in more ways then just her looks. She is always careful with her budget, with her time, the way she cleans.... girls got it all together really. Now we just need to find a man in her life. (If you are thinking this may be you... I am telling you now, you MUST GO THROUGH ME. I have a good series of interviews which much take place before you think you can take her out!)
Long story short. I love her a lot. She really is my other half. I know I can call her in times of need. I know she is always overing me in praying. I know she is always watching my back. I know she will not be afraid to put me in my place when I need to most. She is amazing and she inspires me a lot of the time.
Memories: Meeting you in Mexico and Pastor Mark saying we were attached at the hip from the start, star gazing on your car and just listening to music during Interns before curfew, you talking to me in my dorm room and told me I wasn't alone, traveling to New York together and you making yourself be there to hear me preach for my first time, traveling to Georgia together, almost every moment I have with you Kuu is amazing. <3>
Leave it to you, Kaila darling, to do something so sweet and gracious. You really know the importance of being grateful for the inspirational people we have in our lives -- and to not just know this appreciation internally, but how to share it, how to express it. You're an amazing girl! And Kuu sounds awesome -- as you always paint her to be! I'll just have to meet her one of these days.
