   
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~
 So many things happened during the past week... So many things to be thankful for... Thank God for a blessed birthday...I got to spend some much needed time with my family and I love my mango birthday cake! Most importantly, I thank Him for the peace and joy that he has granted me for my 22nd birthday, something which I didn't experience for all my birthdays in the past... Thanks to all who remembered..A birthday wish from all of you was enough to keep me smiling ear to ear for my birthday...=) Thank God for leading me to the Christian Teachers' Conference... No neutrality in education? Indeed, this is something for me to ponder about and reflect upon.. I met the current batch of choir for the last time at wen loong's house today... Had pot luck and as usual, we had loads of laughter together... Thinking back, it's amazing how we got through this one year of endless performances and went to participate in the Choir Olympics together... and now we are biding each other goodbye... I will definitely miss them and I hope they will miss me too (haha!)... So many things in our life are just temporal... They are gone even before you know it... Only God is unchanging in this ever changing world of ours... School's going to start tomorrow. I look forward to seeing the famaliar faces again! Haha...miss those people that I often do my projects with and hang out with... Actually, I still can't believe our 3 and a half month break is over... I remember at the start of the holidays, I was still wondering how I was going to pass my time for the next 3 and a half months and now, its over! However, this 3 mths of holidays has been fulfilling for me and I really thank God for the much needed break from studies to allow me to reflect on my life and my priorities...=) I just pray that as I embark on my final year, I will have the strength and wisdom to cope with my schoolwork... If you are reading this and is starting school tmr like I am, may God Bless you too! MaRGaReT left her footprint @ 9:27 PM
