Footprints in the sand
I was walking along the beach with my Lord. Across the dark sky flashed scenes from my life. For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand, one belonging to me and one to my Lord.
When the last scene of my life shot before me I looked back at the footprints in the sand. There was only one set of footprints. I realized that this was at the lowest and saddest times of my life. This always bothered me and I questioned the Lord about my dilemma.
"Lord, You told me when I decided to follow You, You would walk and talk with me all the way. But I'm aware that during the most troublesome times of my life there is only one set of footprints. I just don't understand why, when I need You most, You leave me."
He whispered, "My precious child, I love you and will never leave you, never, ever, during your trials and testings. When you saw only one set of footprints, It was then that I carried you."
Margaret Fishback Powers, 1964
well it had been a difficult 2 weeks or maybe even more than that. could only say that the stress has gotten most of us to the point that we cannot control. it has been tiring and mentally draining one many people.to me, just like everyone.
times when we just feel like standing up against it, times we just feel like it is pushing us forward, times when we feel like we are drowning and of course times when we just feel like giving up.
many questions appear, why?why?why?it always starts with the same word.tired, weary and frustrations just built up within and form a deadly time bomb that can explodes anytime.
everytime when i feel down or feel like i'm losing everything, i will always be reminded of God's goodness, faithfulness and His everlasting Love.the story above constantly reminds me that God has never leave me behind,but instead, He has carried me through.Relying on His Word and praying by faith and He has answered many of it.Granting me with the strength to get through each day. There is nothing too big for my God.Remembering that i'm here not to meet up to the expectations of the world but on the expectations of my God.He will always be there for me.
to my 203:Let us not stress ourselves over the mushroom.just remember that it is not worth it to be angry and stress out over it. maybe we can combine our effort and get the work done.let us support each other during this time and proudly say that we have survived from the intimidating mushroom when we look back next time:)
"Cast your burden on the Lord, and He shall sustain you" - Psalms 55:22
Each day is filled with Joy and Blessings, so SMILE and enjoy the wonderful day that God has created
