MESSAGE

ok i tink tts the end of it..yup..if i rmb any more i ll add it here..

sumtimes when we haf worked so hard,
putting our best, our soul and our blood.
it disappoints oneself to see and tink,
that all one's efforts amount to nothing.
the feeling of wanting to quit lays strong,
and the body tires after so long.
but because of the people that surronds us in church,
we persevere and hang on, leaving satan in the lurch.

it is because of all u guys tt im still here..and i thank you for tt..if u wana pray for mi on my bday..pray for these 3 things:
1) tt on 4th nov 2006, i will look back to 4th nov 2005 and confidently say to myself: 'God, i know u so much better',
2) tt god has mercy on my family and allow them to come to know him soon, and
3) tt by nxt yr, AOC has grown stronger physically and spiritually.
