   
One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he noticed the set of footprints in the sand, one belonging to him and the other to the Lord.
When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life.
This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it. "Lord, you said once I decided to follow you, you 'd walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troubled times of my life, there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why you would leave me when I needed you most."
The Lord replied,"My child. My precious child. I love you and would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you."

~Footprints of my Life~
  I have finally completed reading the purpose driven life book in forty days! I thank God for giving me the opportunity to read this wonderful book and knowing what He wants for me. I know that me reading this book was not just a mere coincidence but was a plan by him to bring me closer to Him and to be all that He wants me to be. I am grateful because reading this book has deeply changed my perspective of life and taught me how I should live my life from now on. This book has since sold 25 million copies. The only reason for its phenomenal success is simple! Because it answers the most fundamental question that all of us ask, "What on earth am I here for?" A life without purpose is worse than even death itself. That is why I would strongly recommend this book to anyone who wants to know YOUR purpose in life. Thank you JiaHui for lending this book to me when I was facing one of the lowest points of my life. It definitely came in handy. =) MaRGaReT left her footprint @ 10:57 PM | 0 footprints
Today is a wonderful day. Coz it's the day where I finally don't feel any pain in my throat anymore! haha...although still have phlegm and cough but at least, the pain's gone and I can swallow in peace. Thank God for my recovery. Not going to take my health for granted from now on. No more 4 am late nights for me! I am going to be an early bird from now on manz! And I am going to make sure I drink lots of water from now on as well. This sore throat experience really scared the life out of me. I hope it never never comes back. Going to have my Basic Theory Test (BTT) this friday and I haven't even started studying for it! Guess I will have to piah for this week le... I really want to pass this test and get started with my practical asap coz come to think of it, there isn't really much time when school reopens. Well, I shall just give my best and God shall do the rest. =) My job's ending...yay! Going to resume my weekly bible studies with Evan again...Hopefully I can finish the 'Growing Strong' book before I leave for Xiamen in July... May God lead me the way!

Will You Love Jesus More I feel quite sure if I did my best, I could maybe impress you With tender words and harmony; a clever rhyme or twoBut if all I've done in the time we've shared Is to turn your eyes on me Then I failed in what I've been called to do There's someone else I want you to see Will you love Jesus more when we go our different ways? When this moment is a memory, will you remember His face? Will you look back and realise You sensed His love more than you did before? I pray for nothing less than for you to love Jesus more. I'd like to keep these memories in frames of gold and silver And reminisce a year from now about the smiles we've shared But above all else I hope you will come To know the Father's Love And when you see the Lord face to face You'll hear him say "well done" This song really struck a chord in my heart. You can hear this song by clicking on Pastor Wesley's blog. It made me think of all the Christians who have helped me in one way or another. The most significant being Aunt Toon Fung who selflessly offered her help to Mum when she was depressed and I was having hectic choir practices at that time. I am eternally grateful for her help but when I say 'thank you' to her, she tells me to 'thank God'. She says that God had used her as a vessel to help us. I think this song spells out very clearly what she was trying to say to me at that time. She was happy that I was grateful to her but she would be happier if we had experienced God's love through her help. Though we don't really meet much nowadays, I now definitely love Jesus more as compared to the past and I believe she would be so happy for me. =) God's love is definitely supreme. I remembered that time when I sat with Aunt Toon Fung outside the hospital, she told me that God is a Father to the fatherless. He can heal all wounds in our hearts and make us complete. I wept when I heard that. Anyway, I fell very sick yesterday. Had a high fever yesterday night but it got better after I took antibiotics. Nevertheless, I felt groggy when I woke up this morning. It just happens that I had to teach from 930 to 530 pm. After the first session ended at 1230 pm, my fever had gotten so bad that I felt that my brains were being boiled. I just couldn't concentrate, much less teach. So I was praying and praying that God would give me the strength for the 2nd session. There must have been angels watching over the children for the 2nd session. Time passed so quickly because they were such a joy to teach, they were spontaneous so I didn't have to speak much but still well-behaved, so different from the kids in the morning session where I had to keep probing them to give me answers! Although I really think I fell sick at a really bad timing, it actually made me appreciate God's work in my life even more. I still have to teach from 930 to 530 pm tmr... Gonna be another hard and tiring day...I pray that God will bless me tmr. =) MaRGaReT left her footprint @ 9:13 PM | 0 footprints
My roomie is busy packing up her stuff in the room now... Dun think I will be getting much sleep tonight with all the noises and the best thing is her lorry is coming at 9 am tmr...T_T.. Oh well...bopian loh, just have to tahan for one more day and yay! I shall have freedom after that le...^^ Hehe, I sound like I can't wait for her to go out but the reason that I am really happy is because I can really clean up the room properly after she moves out...not because I hate her or anything.. She is actually quite nice. =) Coz right now, my stuff are in a mess too and I can't add on to the mess esp when she already have so many boxes piled up in the room! So yea, my spring cleaning project will have to wait until the day after! It's been a week! I have church tmr again!Yay! MaRGaReT left her footprint @ 12:05 AM | 0 footprints
 Forgot to post a picture of our gathering. The first thing that struck me when I saw this photo was, "Woa! So colourful!" MaRGaReT left her footprint @ 2:11 AM | 0 footprints
Just came back from a gathering with a few of my jc frens. It's been a long time since I met them manz..haha! Esp suminah, I think I haven't seen her since we graduated from jc! I was really glad happy to see these friends of mine again =) It helps that the food at marche was good too! haha... Lucky grace, she is going to Japan where all the spring blossoms and good food and good weather are... to work! How I wish I could have such an opportunity as well! Oh well, teaching in Singapore isn't that bad either also lah..just that teaching in another country would really be an experience! I actually tried to post entries the past few days but blogger was down =( so didn't manage to.. But nothing really happened...it was just choir practices and supper... Only that I was bombarded with questions about Christianity while we were on the way to supper yesterday. Somebody commented that they couldn't understand what the bible was saying. Years ago, when I tried to read the bible, I couldn't understand as well but now I do. What caused the change? Because I believe in God now. It's simple. You need to BELIEVE first before you can understand. As D.L. Moody said: "The Bible was not given to increase our knowledge but to change our lives." Once you believe, the Holy Spirit will guide you in understanding God's word. As a result of the bombardment of the questions, I decided to search for more information and I found this website which belongs to the Christian Apologetics and Research Ministry. Answers to all types of questions about Christianity can be found here. http://www.carm.org/questions_Jesus.htm Anyway, choir practice yesterday was rather productive with the polishing of Lux and Jubiaba. But honestly, I wonder how we are going to have auditions for small groups on next monday with so many people missing and my group doesn't even have a tenor! Anyway, I found it rather refreshing to sing in a small group...Now I finally know how screechy my voice is when I hit the high notes T_T Gg to have badminton tmr...Finally, I can get rid of some fats...yay!

Welcome to my new blog! I was sitting at my desk on saturday when I suddenly had this thought to start a new blog and the concept for it. Actually, I had the intention to change my blog to blogspot since last year but just didn't have the push to do it because for one, I was kinda lazy and secondly, I felt attached to my former blog because I recorded down many memories there. Oh well... Sentimental me.. Anyway, what happened was that shortly after I had that thought (of starting a new blog), ah yap came online. I knew at that point in time that it was God sent! Coz ah yap was a blogging template expert. Haha. She sent and told me everything that I needed to get started and soon I was on my way... The very first day was really discouraging coz I was unfamaliar with the codes and everything...Nearly wanted to give up (again) but strangely this time, I perservered on. I know very well myself that if I were to do this ardous task of figuring the codes last year, I would just give it up instantly but I hung on this time because the concept I had in mind had something to do with God. So yes, I believed that it was the Holy Spirit that gave me strength and pulled me through this time.. =) Just recently, I put on my nick "Just as my blog is undergoing major reconstruction, the same goes for my life as well" which is indeed very true. I am going to make some major decisions which will greatly change my life. And these decisions are those that I never dreamt that I would be making if you were to ask me last year. My perception on things and priorities have largely changed. My results are out. According to my expectations but still disappointing nevertheless. Well, I just have to work harder next semester. It's my final year already and I am going to give it my best shot. =) Oh yes, I've got a piece of good news! I managed to pass the cut off point for Hall 2! This means that I will most prob get back my existing room. Thank God for that. =) This is the first time that I ever passed the cut off point for the hall of my first choice and I am sort of elated manz.. haha.. Finally, all my hardwork has paid off and I have this wonderful looking blog where I can pen down my thoughts. =) It just goes to show that with God's strength, anything is possible. Truly a new beginning for me! MaRGaReT left her footprint @ 1:36 AM | 0 footprints
