With some awesome female EMTs here—grateful to have shared precious time farming in a lo'i kalo (taro patch) in Maunawili.

"There is a friend who sticks closer than a brother" (Prov. 18:24). "This is the picture of faithfulness. Someone who stays. Someone who does not disappear when things get difficult. A loyal friend... someone who will pray and petition heaven on your behalf..."

Contrast: "You can have many relationships or many people in your world and still lack the safety of someone who is there for and with you when it matters the most... When trust is placed in people who are inconsistent, absent or unstable, it affects us..."

The steady presence and unwavering nature of God: “God's commitment does not shift depending on circumstances."

"One who has unreliable friends soon come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother." Proverbs 18:24 (NIV)

Excepts from A. Margot Blair

Pictured with Jules last night at IF:One Night 2026. ♥️

God just sharpened my focus/reminded me why I fight [on my knees] for love/what’s really important. I was just told, “Let your loved ones know that you love them now because we never know what may happen (and when).” A sister in Christ I just met gave me this advice. Her husband has been in a coma since December 2024. She visits him everyday. I am standing with her in prayer believing for the glory of God so that the Son of God will receive glory from this (John 11:4, NLT). Please be safe and take care of yourselves so we can help with taking care of each other. Love, prayers and a big hug to everyone. ♥️
