den one day...matt came along and invited me to the veri same place my cousin had invited...at 1st i refused....but when he roped Jared in...i was like y not....so off i went to this place in the far west which u guys can by now guess it was City Harvest Church...when i was there...the praise and worhship i felt was realli different....i was touched by the way they openly expressed their love for their God...for the first time in my life....i also felt tht the sermon was speaking to me....it had realli been great...i told myself i had to come back....

but den my busy schedule took its toil and the next time i realli came back was on Christmas....even thou i was like sitting in an overflow room....but i realli was touch by the skits and the word....never in my life has i tot tht someone would die for my sins...tht would love me for the horrible person i was....before...it had just been a story i knew in my head....it was at tht service when pastor asked if we wanted to receive the Holy Spirit and be born again....i just felt at tht moment i had to do it....so on tht veri day...i received Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour.

after tht i went off for my jam....when i came back...i started attending CHC on a regular basis...each week...i went and i felt encourage, renewed and refreshed....i felt his tangible love and strength tht realli helped me to carry on....it was realli tht great....i also like to thank the company he had put me in....the people in matthew's cell were realli hospitable...it realli made me feel welcomed....john especially...the crapper at tht time...he realli made me think he was psycho or something....the extent tht sister yating and alicia were willing to go just to give us bible study also greatly touched me....as i continued to attend the church...i forged friendships tht has realli grown over the months...i felt a part of something...i felt like i was in a family....where everyone cared for each other n would never judge me for my shortcomings...

over the last few months....i realli felt my life change....nowadays....i hardly swear....tht raging bull side of me had also been tamed....i hardly lose my cool anymore....i hardly get into fights anymore...i thank God tht he has realli allowed me to grow spiritually and in wisdom over the last few months....tht i learned to seek his presence....tht i learned the peace of God...as i tink back...i m realli so thankful...i feel tht God has set a purpose for each and everyone of us...tht i refused my cousins invitations...yet God worked in another way....i realised tht God purpose is always reaching out and calling out for us...tht he is always seeking to mould us into his likeness....tht we may fulfil his purpose...its not always easy...but we r reminded tht he will always complete the work tht he has started...tht we never leave us nor forsake us....i tink i realli found my purpose....i found his presence...his word tht is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path...he changed my life dramatically....i m just realli so thankful...like me...he can do the same to u...but will u let him...will u receive him into ur life today?

i found City Harvest, i found W346 and W43, most importantly, i found God!
