Hoku shares her story

I was born as a result of an affair. My mom was married and my biological father got her pregnant. Growing up, I barely knew my father. He would have me come to his house for visitations, but he would leave me at home with my step mom. After 5th grade he stopped contacting me and ended up divorcing his wife. I don't talk to him anymore.  Sometimes, I struggle with knowing if my father really loves or cares about me. Many times, I feel like I am fending for myself and all alone. My best friend, Amanda invited me to church. She also invited me to the YFC campus club at Kalani. Being new to the school, it was awesome to have a place were I felt love, care and a sense of belonging.  Even though I question and doubt my earthy father’s love for me, I am beginning to understand God the Father’s love for me. I am still new to all of this, but it is so awesome that Amanda invited me to the YFC club, that talks about a God that cares for me. I love learning more about Jesus during club. Lately we have been learning that God is not afraid of our drama. I am glad he doesn’t judge me for my family issues.  Thank you for your supporting abandoned students looking for a home for their hearts.
