Paulele - Faith

Aloha kakahiaka e nā hoa pepeiao! Today's word is Paulele which means faith, confidence, trust, to believe implicitly, to lean on. Paulele au i ke Akua. I have faith in God. Paulele au iā 'oe. I trust you or I believe in you. When we think about our journey in life we realize that paulele, faith is so important. We don't always know why things are happening, we don't often know what the exact outcome will be, however, we exercise faith and we continue to press forward. There are times in life where we must paulele, trust in others, in the bigger plan and in ourselves. Depending on our current circumstances, especially in these unpredictable and uncertain times, we will have to paulele, lean on others. As we face life's experiences we learn to develop our faith and begin to trust implicitly in Ke Akua's plan for us. There's a beautiful song translated into Hawaiian called Hea I Ka Haku that speaks about paulele, this kind of faith. Holunape does a beautiful rendition. You can check them out at www.holunape.com. If you get a chance today, listen to the words, think about it and enjoy! Aloha nō, a hui hou.
