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."

![]() ![]() "God has not promised skies always blue, flower-strewn pathways all our lives through; God has not promised sun without rain, joy without sorrow, peace without pain. But God has promised strength for the day, rest for the labor, light for the way, grace for the trials, help from above, unfailing sympathy, undying love." - Kristone The exams and assignment deadlines are around the corner again. And it is during this time when everybody becomes really stressed up and needs a little encouragement from each other. I thank God for the many friends who have encouraged me and helped me along the way especially when there was one point of time when I was really stressed up with all the CC modules... But most of all, I thank God himself for being my comforter during these stressful times and for allowing me to pour out all my greivances and insecurities to him... Life may be hard and stressful at times but God is indeed faithful and he is with me every step of the way and really....that's all that matters.. =) I chanced upon the story of father and son story of Rick and Dick Hoyt on youtube as recommended by ah yap..=) It's a really touching and inspiring story, go watch it I still have 2 more major assignments to go! After that will be the preparations for my maths exams....=) With God, I can do anything! ;) MaRGaReT left her footprint @ 7:22 PM
