   
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 now totally flushed out after typing out half of section A of the science paper that I am setting. After days of looking through questions, choosing and formulating questions, finally can come up with something, still need to come up with a couple more questions on one more topic and it will be done (hopefully!)... My oh my, it's a real tiring process. I really need the strength... from God. It's been 2 weeks since school reopened and doing all the temperature taking in schools and stuff. I am just so thankful that the parents in my class are cooperative and I didn't really need to do much bugging to get info from them. The kids have also been pretty responsible, only about 1 or 2 who forgot their thermometers for one or 2 days. There was lots of learning for me in the past week too. I attended a seminar on Friday at St. Andrews Cathedral on Friday night for women and had bible study with my CG today but perhaps something that has stuck on my mind is the Proverbs 31 woman and this particular verse (v25) that describes her: She is clothed with strength and dignity; She can laugh at the days to come. Laughing at the days to come? Now, I have always thought of the future of something that I just could hope for the best in. But to laugh at the days to come requires confidence and this is something that I want to be and learn from this woman in the bible. But where does this confidence comes from? Alice Mathews writes in her book 'A woman God can use' this: "We must see ourselves in relation to His greatness, His majesty, His power. We must see ourselves as creatures dependent every day of our lives on our Creator. That is why the woman of worth could laugh at the days ahead. She knew what we must know, that our times are in God's hands. She knew that God's hands are good hands and that He only does what is best for us. She knew what Jesus knew, that our heavenly Father knows what we have need of and has committed Himself to meeting our needs." That's why she can laugh at the days ahead. Heavenly Father, help me to be like this woman and trust in You with all my heart. Amen. MaRGaReT left her footprint @ 11:00 PM
