   
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~
 after 1 and a half years of worshipping in Glory Church, I have signed up for the 'Growing Strong' bible class which is a prerequisite to getting baptised in the church. The class will be about 4 mths long and I will be baptised on 16th December this year. I had wanted to get baptised a long time ago but things were so uncertain....I din know which school I was going to be posted to and I didn't know where I was going to stay then... In short, I din know if I would be back in this church.. Now that things are finally settled, I can make this decision at last. But I did not think this way just a few weeks ago. I was hesitant because I was still unsure if Glory was really the church for me. I had fears and insecurities which were driving me nuts. In the end, I realised I would be going nowhere if I allowed those fears and insecurities to control my mind. Only God knew the future and what I needed was not to see more but what I needed was really faith in God. Faith that He would take care of my spiritual life. After all, He is really the head of the Church. With this simple faith, I prayed to the Lord that if it was His will, I would be able to sign up for the baptism class in church today. And very smoothly, I managed to sign up for it even though I was later than usual. And after I signed it, I felt a sense of relief and peace that came over me like never before. I thank God for His guidance and I pray that He will continue to guide me in all areas of my life. MaRGaReT left her footprint @ 11:27 PM
