   
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~
 The rainy season is here. And it sure did catch me by surprise. That was because in the past 2 weeks of December, the weather routine would be 'sunshine in the morning and heavy rains in the afternoon'. The routine was predictable and I liked it because the rain in the afternoon would 'cool' me off after a hot morning. But from yesterday onwards, things started to change. While it was real comfy to be greeted by the rain in the morning on my bed, the continuation of the rain for the rest of the day started to affect my mood and get me down. And whenever I looked out of the window and into the sky, I was greeted by huge dark clouds looming across the sky. It was really kinda.. depressing. And for the first time, I managed to witness a case of a road turning into a river in JB. That sight actually traumatised me because water from the surrounding drains gushed onto the road at shocking speed. The currents were so strong that I shudder to think what would happened had Mum drove on further into the road. There is a high possibility that the car might be washed away... Thank God we managed to reverse the car and get out of that road in time. Today was also another rainy day and I reckon I won't be seeing the sun until January. It's only 2 days but I am already missing the sun and everything that comes with a sunny day! T_T.. I miss the dragonfly that flies around my house's mini garden in the morning, I miss going out for exercise in the mornings, I miss feeling warm... Oh dear... when will the sun come back? T_T MaRGaReT left her footprint @ 4:54 PM
