Life is difficult at most times,I had a very challenging experience and a desperate thought. I prayed so much about what to do before I did it. "Ask and it will be given, Seek and you shall find".I seek and end up with a possible solution to raise money. It was when I had a knee accident and couldn't work for a while. I got broke and need to pay bills and obligations. I asked some of my friends, the least person I did expect to respond was the first to help, the first person whom I thought didn't even bother to reply to my email. I prayed so much,for I was doing such an embarrassing thing. But it was a challenge that I've realized in the end. I learned that prayer is so powerful.The very least friend I've expected to help offered prayer.And it was so amazing that every single day,I was able to survive.I learned too,that I don't have 100 friends to help me at all! Do you?

Believe in yourself. I like to help friends, but I don't like my friend raising money and not working on his/her own problems. There is an old Chinese saying, it's always better to teach your friend how to fish than just give out your fish to your friend.

Yes.Thank you. I do believe in my self.It was an amazing learning experience.It also became a friendship test. Now I know who my true friends are,not for the money but the one who offered prayer and was strong of it made me realize that I really need to know who my true friends are. I may not have a hundred true friends,but to have one whom you know is far out ther praying for you is more than enough.
