A Men of Strength

A strong man works out everyday to keep his body in shape...
But a man of strength kneels in prayer to keep his soul in shape
A strong man isn't afraid of anything...
But a man of strength shows courage in the midst of his fear
A strong man won't let anyone get the best of him
But a man of strength gives the best of his to everyone
A strong man makes mistakes and avoids the same in the future...
A man of strength realizes life's mistakes can also be God's blessings and capitalizes on them
A strong man walks sure footedly...
But a man of strength knows God will catch him when he falls
A strong man wears the look of confidence on his face...
But a man of strength wears grace
A strong man has faith that he is strong enough for the journey...
But a man of strength has faith that it is in the journey that he will become strong

About Myself

I (Charles) know that I am special and there's no one else out there that's like me... so enjoy! (smile)

I was born in Korea on November 11, 1969. I had a very simple and happy childhood, and my only sibling, my younger Sister, would appear one year later after my own birth.

Like my dad, I am introverted and am perfectly happy watching quality movies or using a personal computer during my spare time.I lived in Boston, Mass. For one year before I came to Los Angeles, I lived in Van Nuys, and then moved to Rowland Heights since my high school graduation.

Becoming a Social Worker/full-time ministry has become my plan, especially when I like working with special needs Kids. I planned in working in the field of Education as a Social Worker and Preach the Word of God.

Finally, it wouldn't hurt to travel to amazing places, continue to meet wonderful people, finish my Education/graduate school and eventually meet the young woman that the Lord has intended for me.
