   
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~
 I am really glad....that things are in the final phase already..... This whole process of moving and preparing for a house can be rather daunting and I know that I have been really stressed by the whole thing for the past few weeks, no.. a few months. In fact, I can say that ever since my mum and I started on this journey of buying this house, it has never been easy.... Financially, there were a lot of sacrifaces to be made.... During the Dec holidays, when I wanted to buy some nice clothes for work, I had to eventually give up that idea because all the money had to be pumped in for the house. Since november, I have been living on a monthly basis and my heart ached when I saw all that money diminish because there was always something to be spent on the house. I had never felt so poor before and it made me weep at times. I wondered if it was the right decision. I would never have got this far if it wasn't God's will.... Still, I am grateful for this house. Not just for this house.....I am thankful for all the wonderful things ever since I have become a Christian.....wisdom, peace of mind, compassion for others, fellowship with other like-minded Christians... This house really encapulates another milestone in my journey with Christ and it is my prayer that it will be used to minister to others for the glory of God. I also want to pay a tribute to my Mum.... She has really helped A LOT. As I am working, she helped with the cleaning of the house, oversee the painting jobs and also waited at home while the furniture came. I can't imagine what it would be like without her. Thank God for her, really. I felt different today....I had peace and I was relaxed... After service, I had lunch with my CG and after that a fun meeting for Pathmakers which was followed by a delicious dinner at this famous duck restaurant in Sembawang. A really great way to end this wonderful week. Thank God. :) The song 'Bao Gui Shi Jia - Precious Cross' pretty much sums up my thankfulness towards God now. MaRGaReT left her footprint @ 10:19 PM
