FOOTPRINTS

It's 9.30pm now, i've been helping Indra with sample album for his photography business.
It's really fun and i enjoy it so much and finished when my eyes were getting sore because of the computer screen.
Didnt realised that i've spent 3 hours in front of this big screen. Then i took a shower.
That's when the sadness striked again. I just cant let myself idle doing nothing, otherwise all those negative thoughts will come back. When im by myself, i can feel myself slowly slipping down, i always ask Indra to company me, i never let myself alone at home.

I was lucky that Ka Ira was online and got me into conversation and she shared this beautiful poem.


Footprints In The Sand

One night a man had a dream.
He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord.
Scenes from his life flashed across the sky
and he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand,
one belonging to him and the other to the Lord.

When the last scene of his life had flashed before him,
he recalled that at the lowest and saddest times of his life
there was only one set of footprints.

Dismayed, he asked, "Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you,
you'd walk with me all the way.
I don't understand why, when I needed you most,
you would leave me."

The Lord replied, "My precious child.
I love you and I would never leave you.
During your times of trial and suffering
when you saw only one set of footprints...
That was when I carried you."

God, thank you for being there for me..
I am going through my trial and suffering now
I can only see one set of footprints and they belong to You.
But i believe that You are carrying me with You..

*Thank you Ka Ira for sharing this beautiful poem with me*

I've been reading your blog since the very beginning you start this blog, I know that this maybe the lowest point of your life, but I do believe that everything happened for a reason.

Never stop praying and things will get better.

Thank you for the encouragement, i believe this too shall pass.
I hope my journey and struggle can be an encouragement for others too.
God is always with us, after all that's why i named my son Emmanuel :)
