(Teuteronome6:5)
Ia e alofa atu ia Ieova lou Atua ma lou loto atoa, ma lou agaga atoa, ma lou malosi atoa. (And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength.)

LOVE GOD WITH YOUR EVERYTHING.
This verse God is supremely powerful, infinitely valuable, and endlessly loving, and therefore He demands total loyalty from you and me. What God wants from us is our love and our obedience to His word, which will prove our love for Him by loving God and carrying out His commands. He wants a complete love from us because God loves us completely. We love Him because He first loved us.

(Kenese13:8)
Ona fai atu lea o Aperamo ia Lota, Aua lava ne‘i femisa‘i i taua, po o a taua leoleo manu: auā o le uso i taua. (So Abram said to Lot, Let’s not have any quarreling between you and me, or between your herders and mine, for we are close relatives.)


PEACEMAKING AND HUMILITY.
This verse shows Abram's peacemaking humility, offering his kinsman Lot first choice of land to prevent strife, emphasising family unity over possessions, a lesson relevant today as it teaches prioritising peace, relationships, and spiritual blessings over material gain, even when wealth causes conflict, demonstrating wise leadership and faith in God's provision rather than greed.

FILEMU MA LE LOTOMAULALO.
O lenei fuaiupu o lo’o fa’aalia ai le lotomaualalo o Aperamo ia filemu, i le ofoina atu i lona tauaiga o Lota le fanua muamua e puipuia ai fefinauaiga, o se lesona e aoga i a*o nei ona o lo’o a'oa'oina ai le fa’amuamua o le filemu, so’otaga, ma fa’amanuiaga fa’aleagaga nai lo o mea o le tino, e tusa lava pe mafua le feeseeseaʻiga ona o le tamaoaiga, ma faʻaalia ai le ta’ita’iga poto ma le faʻatuatua i sauniuniga a le Atua nai lo le matapeʻapeʻa.

(Ioane8:12)
Ona toe fetalai atu lea o Iesu ia te i latou, ua faapea atu, O a‘u nei o le malamalama o le lalolagi; o lē mulimuli mai ia te au, e le savali o ia i le pouliuli, a e ia te ia le malamalama o le ola. (Jesus spoke to the people once more and said, I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won’t have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life.)

FOLLOW JESUS, HE IS THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD.
This verse can relate to us all: (i)Guidance; Jesus’ light guides us through life’s difficulties, decisions and dangers both spiritual and literal. (ii)Freedom from sin; Promise of freedom from the spiritual confusion and moral uncertainty that comes from living in darkness. (iii)A new way of living; Daily obedience and a commitment to walk in a way that reflects Christ's light, illuminating the truth for others. (iv)Spiritual illumination; Jesus's light reveals hidden things, like our own intentions and the reality of spiritual truth, which helps us to see our way and avoid pitfalls.🙌🏽

MULIMULI IA IESU, O IA O LE MALAMALAMA O LE LALOLAGI.
E mafai ona fa’atatau lenei fuaiupu ia i tatou uma: (i)Taiala; O le malamalama o Iesu e taʻitaʻia i tatou i faigata o le olaga, filifiliga ma lamatiaga fa’aleagaga ma le tino. (ii) Saolotoga mai le agasala; Folafolaga o le saolotoga mai le fenumiai fa’aleagaga ma le lē mautonu o amioga e sau mai le ola i le pogisa. (iii) Se ala fou o le olaga; O le usiusitai i a*o uma ma se tautinoga e savali i se ala e atagia ai le malamalama o Keriso, e fa’amalamalama ai le upumoni mo isi. (iv) Malamalama fa’aleagaga; O le malamalama o Iesu ua fa’aalia ai mea lilo, e pei o o tatou lava fa’amoemoega ma le moni o upumoni fa’aleagaga, lea e fesoa*oani ia i tatou e iloa ai lo tatou ala ma aloese mai mailei.🙌🏽

Olioli ile Alii o lo'u malosi lea
The Joy of the Lord is my strength 💪
As our mum Fono S Tusa & sis Tusa Inz travels to Samoa 🇼🇸 we thank God for the strength and Joy he gives our father Alalaga Senetenari Tusa.

(1Timoteo3:5)
Auā afai e le iloa e se tasi ona p**e i lona lava aiga, pe faapefea ona tausia e ia le ekalesia a le Atua? (For if a man cannot manage his own household, how can he take care of God’s church?)

LEADERSHIP STARTS FROM HOME. YOUR HOUSEHOLD IS A TRAINING GROUND.
This verse Apostle Paul requires church leaders to be able to manage their own household well, including children. If a man cannot manage his own household well, he is not fit to lead God's church because his family is a training ground; it's like leading a miniature congregation. It proves leadership skills like communication, empathy, discipline, and decision-making before taking on greater responsibilities as to leading a church.🙌🏽

O LE TA'ITA'IGA E AMATA MAI LE AIGA. O LOU AIGA OSE NOFOAGA E A'OA'O AI.
O lenei fuaiupu o le Aposetolo o Paulo e manaomia ai ta'ita'i Ekalesia ina ia mafai ona p**ea lelei o latou lava aiga, e aofia ai ma fanau Afai e lē mafai e se tagata ona p**ea lelei lona lava aiga, e le agavaa o ia e ta'ita'ia le ekalesia a le Atua, aua o lona aiga o se nofoaga e a'oa'oina ai; e pei o le ta'ita'ia o se aulotu laititi. E fa'amaonia ai tomai fa'aleta'ita'i e pei o fesootaiga, lagona alofa, amio p**ea, ma le faia o faʻaiuga aʻo leʻi tauaveina ni tiute sili atu e taʻitaʻia ai se ekalesia.🙌🏽

Thank you, Lord, for your blessings on our kids, especially Alilia-FonoSulu Anainalei Tusa, our eldest who is in her last year this year, who also heads to Victoria University 🙏 next year with a scholarship.

She does not stand alone. She stands with a HUGE village behind her who helped us raise her, encourage her, and guide her.
A special thanks to our amazing God, our parents, our siblings & family, Grandparents near & far, our friends who have become family and all those who have impacted her life in all aspects, there are too many to name but God definitely sees you & knows ❤️
We are forever grateful 🙏

(1Samuelu2:1)
Ua tatalo foi Hana, ua faapea, Ua olioli lava lo‘u loto ia Ieova; ua faamaualugaina lo‘u nifo e Ieova; ua ou mautali ai i e ita mai, auā ou te fiafia i le olataga mai ia te oe. (Then Hannah prayed and said, "My heart rejoices in the Lord; in the Lord, my horn is lifted high." My mouth boasts over my enemies, for I delight in your deliverance.)

ALL THE PRAISES FOR HIS FAITHFULNESS.
This verse highlights that when God fulfills His promises, as He did for Hannah with Samuel, it inspires songs of praises and thanksgiving in our own lives. God is faithful.🙌🏽

O VIIGA UMA ONA O LONA FA’AMAONI.
O lo’o fa’amanatu lenei fuaiupu ina ua fa’ataunuuina e le Atua Ana folafolaga, e pei ona IA faia mo Hana ma Samuelu, e manao i pese o viiga ma le fa’afetai i o tatou lava olaga. E fa’amaoni le Atua.🙌🏽
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Even when they are headaches some more than others🙄😒I do acknowledge the achievements they gain through their hard work.

Lord, I am so very thankful for you as we could not raise these teenagers on our own. We are very appreciative of the village that help us and pray over us, our parents, siblings and family. Raising teenagers is not easy🤦🏽‍♀️but thank you, Lord, for all you do.

(Salamo119:12) Ia faafetaia oe, Ieova e; ia e a‘oa‘o mai ia te au i au tulafono. (Blessed are you, O Lord; teach me your statutes.)

TEACH ME YOUR WAYS, LORD!
This verse expresses a desire for continual learning, understanding, and application of God's Word in one's life, acknowledging God as the ultimate teacher and source of blessing. The psalmist acknowledges God’s wisdom and authority, recognizing that only through learning and obeying God’s statutes can one experience true blessings and fulfillment.

A'OA’O MAI IA TE A'U OU ALA, LE ALII E!
O lenei fuaiupu o lo'o fa'aalia ai se naunauta’iga mo le a'oa'oina faifai pea, le malamalama, ma le fa'aaogaina o le Afioga a le Atua i le olaga o se tasi, ma fa'ailoa atu le Atua o le faiaoga sili ma le puna o fa'amanuiaga. Ua fa’ailoa mai e le faisalamo le atamai ma le p**e a le Atua, ma iloa ai e na o le a'oa'oina ma le usiusitai i tulafono a le Atua e mafai ai e se tasi ona maua fa’amanuiaga moni ma le fa’amalieina.

Faafetai ile Alii ua taunuu male manuia nai o'u uso, le uso matua Tusa Moana Tusa male pepe ole aiga si o matou uso/tuagane laititi Tanuvasa Elijah Tua Tusa

God is so amazing bringing us together ❤️ with our brothers and my first time hosting them in our house. Over 5 years since Tusa Moana has been in NZ and 18 years since our baby brother Tanuvasa Tualauta been back to NZ, he came with our parents very young not married to attend our wedding😳
Thankful for this time with the brothers🥰

Happy 80th Birthday 🎂 aunty Leilua Lusia Pouniu matou te faafetai ile Atua mo oe ma lou soifua.
We Praise God for you and your love upon us especially our Dad who is your brother inlaw but to him you were always a very close, loving sister, a praying sister🥺 and a very important person in our family.

We love you, Aunty. We thank you for everything ❤️ you do for us kids🥰

(Esoto19:10) Ua fai mai foi Ieova ia Mose, Ina alu atu ia oe i le nuu, ma ia e faapaiaina i latou i le asō ma taeao, ma ia latou ta o latou ofu. (And the Lord said to Moses, Go to the people and consecrate them today and tomorrow. Have them wash their clothes.)

GOD WANTS US TO BE CONSECRATED.
Approaching God requires consecration. This speaks to how God views us. In this verse God tells Moses to consecrate the people, to set them apart, to purify themselves, so they will be allowed to meet God.

E FINAGALO LE ATUA IA FAAPAIAINA I TATOU.
O le faalatalata atu i le Atua e manaomia ai le faapaiaina. O loo faailoa mai ai le silafaga a le Atua iā i tatou. I le fuaiupu lea ua fetalai mai ai le Atua ia Mose e faapaiaina le nuu, ia vaetofia i latou, ia faamamaina i latou lava, ina ia faatagaina i latou e feiloai ma le Atua.

Faafetai i Le Atua i avanoa sa mafuta ai ma matua a'o maua le la malosi, e le mafai ona galo le alofa o matua.
O vae ma lima ia sa fafaga ma faafailele mai le olaga.
Ua misia lava oulua matua.
Faafetai I la oulua tatalo ma faamanuiaga ma la oulua tapuaiga. Ia faamanuia atu Le Atua ia te oulua matua ma faafualoa pea e Le Atua lo oulua soifua.

As I ponder on the memories that I got to make with my parents. I thank the Lord for the precious time while they have the strength. These are the hands and feet that helped raise me & my siblings. Thankful to my parents for their love, blessings especially prayers.
Love and miss you Dad & Mum🥺❣️

Happy Sunday 🇼🇸


(Sapakuka3:19)
O Ieova le Alii, o lo‘u malosi ia, na te faia o‘u vae e pei o vae o aila, o ia foi ou te savali ai i a‘u mea maualuluga.

(The Sovereign Lord is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to tread on the heights. For the director of music. On my stringed instruments.)

GOD IS MY STRENGTH.
O LE ATUA O LO'U MALOSI LEA.
