It's okay. It's fine. It doesn't matter.
Really??? >>> NO! 
That's not as easy as the saying "Let Go!"
It doesn't feel nice for being a spare tyre.
Meaning that you will only be visible when you are needed.
Some people won't appreciate what you've done. 
What you say is not that important.
It's obvious.
* Some people find you because they care about you, they need you, they appreciate you and you'll feel their love.
 * Some people will only find you because they have no choice. Only you can help them.
Consequently, you'll always be dumped or put aside by this kind of people.
You'll feel like you are a tool.
After used, you are thrown somewhere else. 
It's really annoying when you know that you're being used but 
you still have to appear when you're needed again.  
There is no need for you to talk too much to them. 
BECAUSE...
They will start to ignore what you've said and talk their own things.
It's really annoying if you experience the same thing also.
People want you to listen to them.
Okay, it's fine.
I can listen to whatever you say. Indeed, I'm a good listener, I admit that.
But, when it comes to your turn to speak, is there anyone that really listens to you? 
Is that really that hard for people to respond to what you've said? 
Even a simple, short yes or no is a reply also.
What can we do? Our strengths are limited. 
This is life. This is human. Don't expect others to change for you.
However, there is/are always someone who will listen to you.
It's so nice to have such person(s) in your life. 
So, appreciate him/her/ them.
 

Haha! I'm throwing everything here.  
Whatever related and not-related to me.
Actually, I'm stressed with assignments and exams. 
I'm just pretending that I'm busy (blogging). 
I DON'T WANT TO DO TASKS. I DON'T WANT TO STUDY...AWW @@

God is Great, All the Time~ ♥

Few weeks ago, in the church, my mum showed me a very awesome short story from one of her prayer books. After reading the story, I felt really good because I realize that God is always by my side. 
 
So, I'll like to share with you all the amazing and beautiful story by Mary Stevenson (1984). 
 It is indeed a very inspiring story, which reminds us that 
God is always with us,
 everyday, 
every hour,
 every minute,  
every second, 
and 
till the end... 
 
FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND 
(The Footprint Prayer)

One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach 
with the Lord.
Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.
In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.

Sometimes there were two sets of footprints.
Other times there were one set of footprints.

This bothered me because I noticed that 
during the low periods of my life
when I was suffering from anguish, sorrow, or defeat,
I could see only one set of footprints,
 
so I said to the Lord,
"You promised me, Lord, that if I followed You, 
You would walk with me always.
But I noticed that during the most trying periods of my life 
there have only been one set of prints in the sand.
WHY, WHEN I HAVE NEEDED YOU MOST, 
YOU HAVE NOT BEEN THERE FOR ME?"

The Lord replied, 
"THE TIMES WHEN YOU HAVE SEEN ONLY ONE SET OF FOOTPRINTS IS WHEN I CARRIED YOU."
 
footprints in the sand   
 
So, how's the story??? It's nice right?
 If you really read it, you'll get the message.
 
When we go through our tough times, we will always find that there is only "a set of footprints in the sand".
Most of us will think that God has abandoned us and we are alone during our times of sorrow and pain.
However, that's not true!
God will never leave us.
We are the one who has lost faith in HIM. 

 We should know that God WALKS with us all the time. 
HE never gives up on us.
During our hardest times,
HE CARRIES us,
gives us strength and courage,
energy and power,
so that we are able to stand again!

So, in times of need, 
we should really look back,
see the footprints in the sand 
to realize that 
God IS, HAS, and WILL always be with us.
