   
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~
 One week into school and I think everything on the whole is going pretty well for me...Thank God! =) Except for the first few days where I suddenly felt kinda depressed... Maybe I was overwhealmed with the amount of readings that I had to do...Maybe my mind just couldn't switch to study mode... or maybe there wasn't choir on monday nite and it just didn't feel rite...watever it is, I really wasn't at my best on mon and tues... Then on wed, my mum's friends from church came over to JB and we took them around... Thank God for the wonderful weather! We really had a great time eating and shopping (they were most thrilled with the chewing gum that they managed to purchased at a really cheap price..haha) My tutors for all my modules seem to be really nice... they are approachable and friendly.. (hope they will be nice too when it comes to grading...haha) The tutor actually plays a huge role in whether or not you are going to do well for a module so yea, I actually thank God for these tutors of mine as well.. To be happy, all we need is just to be contented with what God has given us... There are so many things that he has given us, so many things to be thankful for but sometimes, we get so caught up in achieving or attaining 'other' things that we forget or take for granted what we already have at hand...Doesn't this scenario sound famaliar to all of us? As Christians, we are expected to put God as the centre of our lives... And what's the warning sign that God isn't in the centre of our lives? >> worry.. When we worry, we have already placed God at the side..and regretfully, I do worry about things rather often.. So one of the things that I hope to achieve in the coming academic is to worry less and let God do the rest.. I believe I can do it..=) Went to church just now and played sth like captain ball (sth like...coz I dun really noe what's the exact name of the game..haha) with the other youths. Had a good sweat and basically had a good time hanging out with 'em! will be going to the CAC Ball tmr to support kiat and loong when they strut their stuff for the pageant...woohoo! Haha...wish them all the best and I am pretty sure its gonna be fun tmr!! MaRGaReT left her footprint @ 11:54 PM
