   
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~
 Tomorrow's gonna be my subject registration for my yr 4 sem 1 modules and it's gonna be my second last time doing it! As usual, when such definitive moments occur, I will always sit back and reflect in awe at how far I have come.... heez...it's been a long journey filled with sweat, tears, heartaches and lessons learnt. Life in campus has been fun so far... but it is not one without ups and downs. If you were to ask me, the experiences and lessons learnt during the past 3 years that I was in uni were definitely much more than the 10 years that I spent in primary, secondary and JC days! I actually shed a few tears (no, not a few...actually, it's a lot =P) when I thought back about my life a few days ago.. All the suffering, hatred, bitterness that I had in the past were finally over and I am relieved! And though I wished certain things never happened, I had to admit that they were essential in shaping me to be the Margaret that I am now. Just like what Evan said..those experiences were definitely not wasted time. Thinking over, it is true. Those experiences were planned by God so that I would be a more compassionate, humble and hardworking person. But actually what made me cry the most was when I thought about God's grace, mercy and his endless love. Despite my troubles, I had made it this far and I know deep in my heart that this would never have been possible if God had not been with me every step of the way. God was with me even when I wasn't with him. Everyone has bad experiences in life..we may have made wrong choices or we may have illnesses and such....But have you ever wondered why these experiences were planted in your life? Could it be that God wants you to use these experiences to make a difference in other people's lives? Remember: Nothing in life happens without a reason! MaRGaReT left her footprint @ 7:49 PM
