Onassis Salinas Amodo September 17, 1970 - November 19, 2016 It's with a sad and heavy heart to say that my brother passed away. He was surrounded with his loving family, singing worship songs, and prayers. Thank you all for those who prayed for us, please continue to do so, our family greatly appreciates it.  Heavenly Father, Thank you for giving my brother into our lives. He touched so many of us in so many special ways. He loved us and I know you loved him so much. Thank you for taking away his pain, alt hough now our family hurts we have the hope that you have a plan and purpose even in death. You promised us in John 3:16 that you love us so much that you gave Your Son so that we may not perish but have eternal life. I have faith in your promise that one day you will wipe away our tears and we get to fellowship with you forever. Through it all, I love you and will continue to be faithful. Please be with my family, his wife Puni, and his three sons: Jacob, Jaybez, and...

Cancer Sucks

Image
This picture above represents life.  A life worth living, worth breathing, worth it all.  This is my brother, Onassis, who has stage 4 lung, liver, and spine cancer.  He survived colon cancer a few years ago but it grew out into his other organs.  The doctors gave him only a few more months to live. He has a wonderful family, wife, Puni; Three wonderful boys: Jayden, Jabez, and Jacob.  Both the oldest and middle children are football players and the youngest one is the sweetest 4 year old child.  They moved from Utah to Oregon to be closer to my other brother and sister who are care home owners and to be in their hospice care.  As soon as we heard the news, my mom travelled to Oregon by herself to be closer to him.  The rest of my family and his wife's family is here in Hawaii so it's really hard to be able to visit him.  I was able to FaceTime him on Sunday and he seemed to be in good spirits. My brother Onassis in his prime. Fishin...

Breaking the Silence of Mental Illness

Image
Breaking the Silence of Mental Illness This past week, the worship pastor of the Rock Church in San Ysidro committed suicide.  I am deeply saddened by this news, the last time I saw him was three years ago when I visited San Diego.  They came by to where I was at to say hi.  It was a short and sweet visit but it was nice to see him and Brenda.   There is a stigma on Depression and Mental Illness in the church.  I was subjected to this stigma when I initially got sick.  I was told I wasn't praying enough, I had "spirits" within me that was tormenting me, and I wasn't Christian enough.  This is NOT true.  Depression and Mental Illness has many reasons why it happens.   Please watch Pastor Miles as he addresses this topic.  "What you suffer from does not define who you are."

It's now 2016!

Image
It's been a long while since I've posted on this blog.  Since the last post, I've graduated from New Hope Christian College, which is now Pacific Rim Christian University, fell in love with the third love of my life, and have my own place I can call home.  Even though it's in the same house I've grown up in, I have a studio that is connected to the main house but it's good enough. I finished school this past December and since then I've been just taking it easy.  The reason I stopped posting on my blog is that in 2012, I became sick with an illness that impaired my judgement, reasoning skills and had social anxiety.  I found out that I had a chemical imbalance that changed my reality.  Through the help of many doctors, I am now able to control my illness and live a somewhat balanced lifestyle.  At the time of my illness, I became very depressed to the point of having suicidal tendencies.  I lost all hope and became very apathetic towards life. ...
