Karapu Lit: Karapu Pukapuka WOTL
Little Rock, Sherwood, North Little Rock, Arkansas
HE MEA pea nā te aroha o tōna whaea ki ngā pukapuka, nā te rā ua rānei i noho tahi ai ia me tana tamahine me te puranga pukapuka i ō rāua waewae. Engari ahakoa he aha te kaupapa i whakaoho i tōna aroha ki te pānui, e ai ki a Patricia Sheppard nā te Wairua Tapu ia i whakatenatena kua tae ki te wā ki te whakatū i tētahi karapu pukapuka.
WOTL – he aha te tikanga o ngā reta tuatahi o tō ingoa?
Ngā Wahine o te Māramatanga. I whakatūria ahau hei perehitini mō te Tari Wahine o taku hāhi o te rohe.
Hei wāhanga o taku misioni, i hiahia ahau ki te huihui i ngā tuahine ki te pānui, ki te whakawhitiwhiti kōrero, ā, KAUA rawa e whakaaro kua whakahengia, kua mokemoke rānei.
Amine. WHe take pai ake tēnei hei whakatū i tētahi karapu pukapuka! Nōnahea koe i tīmata ai?
I te marama o Hepetema, 2016 tā mātou hui tuatahi.
Ā, e hia ngā mema?
Tekau mātou ... ā, kei te tipu haere tonu. Ko ētahi nō taku hāhi, ko ētahi e haere ana ki ētahi atu hāhi.
Kua whakaaweawe hoki koe i ētahi atu rōpū, he tika tēnā?
Āe, he whārangi Pukamata tā mātou hei tuku whakaahua me ngā whakamaumahara hui. Kua kite ētahi atu, ā, kua whakatū i ā rātou ake karapu.
Nā, kōrero mai ki a mātou i tāu i pānui ai.
Anei tā mātou rārangi mai i te tau kua hipa.
1. Whakakorea te Ātete – Janine Wiggins
2. Kei roto i ia nohoanga he ngākau whati – Ruth Graham
3. Ngā Wā o te Oranga o te Wahine - Lois Evans
4. Te noho hei ahau anō – Stasi Ellredge
5. E hiahia ana ahau ki te Atua – Lisa Whittle
6. Te Merekara i Waenganui – Charlotte Gambill
7. Whakakore – Lysa Terkeurst
8. Kāore he hoa whakataetae – Lisa Bevere
He makau?
Te Merekara i Waenganui he tino pai ki a mātou. I kitea e mātou te whakamarie i te mōhio kei reira tonu te Atua, ahakoa i waenganui o ā mātou mahi
ngā mamae nui o te ngākau.
Kei roto i ia nohoanga he ngākau whati he tētahi atu. I meinga mātou kia mutu te whakaaro ki te tini o te tangata e menemene ana, engari e mate ana i te wā kotahi – kei te noho pea i te nohoanga kotahi e noho ana koe.
Ngā Wā o te Oranga o te Wahine he mea whai tikanga. He whakaaro nui tēnei mō te hunga rangatahi, te hunga kaumātua, te hunga pakeke, mō te wahine, te whaea, te kuia rānei – mō ngā wā katoa o ō tātou oranga, ā, ka taea e ia mea te whakaako i a tātou i tētahi mea mō te wikitoria i te mamae me te raruraru.
E hiahia ana ahau ki te Atua i whakatuwhera i ō tātou kanohi me ō tātou ngākau: me tae tātou katoa ki te wāhi kāore he mea, kāore rānei he tangata kē atu e rite ana te hiranga ki te Atua,
He pono, i aroha mātou ki ā mātou pukapuka katoa. He wāhanga kei roto i ia pukapuka e whakakī ana i te hiahia o te wahine kotahi i roto i tā mātou rōpū.
Me pēhea te whiriwhiri pukapuka?
Ka inoi mātou kia āwhinahia mātou, me te tono ki te Atua he aha ngā mea e hiahiatia ana e tō mātou rōpū wāhine. Kāore anō ia kia ārahi hē i a mātou. Heoi anō, ki te titiro whakamuri ki te rārangi, te āhua nei he wāhanga nui o tā mātou whiriwhiri ko ngā Lisa!
Kua whakapā atu koe ki ētahi o ngā kaituhi o ngā pukapuka kua pānuihia e koe. E kōrero mai ana ki a mātou.
Āe. Kua hui waea mātou me ētahi kaituhi e whā: ko Ruth Graham (I roto i ia nohoanga...), Janine Wiggins Conway (Te wikitoria i te ngoikore), Lois Evans (Ngā Wā o te Oranga o te Wahine), me Lisa Whittle (E hiahia ana ahau ki te Atua). I whakamahia hoki e mātou te ataata nā Stasi Ellredge i a mātou e kōrero ana mō tana pukapuka. (Te Noho Ko Au Ake).
Kei hea kōrua e tūtaki ai?
Ka whiriwhiria e mātou tētahi wharekai he rūma motuhake, he wāhi kua kati rānei, kia taea ai e mātou te kōrero mō te pukapuka, te kata,
tangi, kia pono hoki!
He whakanui motuhake kei a koutou i roto i ā koutou hui?
Ka whakanuia e mātou ngā rā whānau, ā, ka mau te wahine rā whānau i te tiara! Tētahi atu mea ngahau: ka whiriwhiria e mātou he tae hei mau mō ā mātou hui ā-marama — he mea tino pai hei whakatairanga i te kotahitanga.
Ā, me pēhea ngā mahi hapori?
Āe. Ka whai wāhi mātou ki te Kohikohi Koti ā-Tau, te Kohinga Taonga Tākaro Kirihimete, te Reihi mō te Rongoā a Susan G. Komen me te Hīkoi mō te Autism.
Kotahi te mea whakamutunga? mō WOTL e hiahia ana koe ki te kōrero mai ki a mātou?
Āe — e toru ngā mea:
♦ He wāhine mātou e aroha ana ki te Atua, e aroha ana ki te pānui pukapuka, ā, e aroha ana ki te whakawhanaungatanga!
♦ Ko tā mātou kaupapa matua kia kaua tetahi wahine e tūtaki atu mātou e noho mokemoke, e noho pōhēhē rānei.
♦ E whakapono ana mātou he pai te pānui me te tiritiri mō te wairua, ka tīmata ai ngā whakahoahoa pumau, ka hanga hoki i te whakawhirinaki i waenga i ngā wāhine.
