Keep Swimming

Two frogs fell into a deep cream bowl. One was an optimistic soul.But the other took the gloomy view."We'll drown," he lamented without much ado,and with a last despairing cry,he flung up his legs and said, "Goodbye."

Quote the other frog with a steadfast grin,"I can't get out but I won't give in, I'll just swim around till my strength is spent, then I'll die the more content."Bravely he swam to work his scheme,and his struggles began to churn the cream.
The more he swam, his legs a flutter,the more the cream turned into butter.On top of the butter at last he stopped,and out of the bowl he gaily hopped.

that's how i'd want all my 12 chosen members to run in the cross country race next yr.

oh yeah, just wanna encourage anyone of you out there. if you feel that God isn't answering your prayers though it's very important like...getting a revival of His spirit or smth, dont give up! :) i had to wait for close to two yrs to get one persistant long-awaited prayer answered. the waiting was worthwhile. and i'm kinda, no, VERY glad God made me wait so long for the answer...though it was just a 'yes'. haha :)
