   
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~
 Two days ago, I had a chat with two friends and we sort of discussed about the places where we stayed. One stayed at bishan and the other stayed in toa payoh and both were very near to the city and shopping havens like orchard. And so I stayed in woodlands and I could remember them sympathizing me when I said I wasn't exactly an orchard road fan because of the distance between woodlands and orchard! Yep, I have to agree that woodlands is really quite far from the city and there isn't any direct bus from here to there. But if you were to ask me what I really feel about it, my answer would still be that I am a woodlander and I am proud of it. :) Truth is, Woodlands is a place that has given me many fond memories. Though I am far from the city and the famous shopping centres, I am near to my church and my secondary sch friends, both of which have given me much joy in my life. I have formed so many friendships in Woodlands that I am so thankful for and these relationships make all the other inconveniences seemed so insignificant. Right now, I am also going to confess that almost everything that I own is gotten from causeway point....hahaha. Woodlands is also a very heartlander place and I feel this is a very important in keeping me grounded. Of course, there are poor people in Woodlands too but seeing them reminds me that there are people in need around and keeps my heart tender and compassionate. I thank God for Woodlands and I am happy to be a part of it! :) MaRGaReT left her footprint @ 8:51 PM | 0 footprints
