.:+Footprints in the Sand+:.

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 two sets of
     footprints in the sand; one belonged 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 tims 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 that once I decided to follow
     you, you'd walk with me all the way.
But i have noticed that during the most
     troublesome times in my life there is only
     one set of footprints.
I don't understnad 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 trail and suffering, when
     you see only one set of footprints in the sand
     it was then that I carried you." 

"You and these people who come to you will only wear yourselves out. The work is too heavy for you; you cannot handle it alone. Listen now to me and I will give you some adivice, and may God be with you."
                                                          - Exodus 18:18-19 NIV

Life... is always hard on us all. Whether it be in school or with family or friends. Everyday is a new day. New day to start something that no one else would have thought of you to do so. Another day to give it all to God. Thanking Him for breathing once more and having Him on your thoughts.

We are never alone...no matter what happens in our lives. God will always be there with us whether we are aware of it or not. He will be there when we are laughing and having a good time, and He will be there when we cry...when we ask ourselves why? When we stumble...and fall down upon our knees...God will always be there for us to pick us up once again and always will. We must know that everything that is done by us cannot be done alone. Just like Jethro had said to Moses when he was talking to God's people and helping them all out with their problems ALONE. Jethro had told him to not take so much of these peoples problems on his own. Jethro instead told him to lift everything that was occuring up to God. Letting Him take hold. Letting Him take our troubles away. And knowing that no human being can do so. No one can... but when we find ourselves somewhere along those lines...we must turn to Him. He will lift our hearts up and rid us of our troubles. Let us cry out to him for help and guidence just as Moses did. And in doing so God will bless those around us to help us along the way. Our brothers and sisters all guiding us there along with God.

Moses had been given help by people who were able to do so and in return his working load had lightened. God had blessed him with the people he knew would be right for the job. We ourselves though can never looking down...but always up...and know that there are people out there who care and love us right along with God.

You weren't meant to carry the weight of the world. Jesus was the only one who was able to do that. To carry all our sins that we placed upon Him while He was nailed up to the cross. Because of Him we are able to be forgiven by God, be shown mercy, and love.

What I'm trying to say is that we must really lift everything up to God. No matter how bad things may turn out to be or what may occur in the future just know He will be there always. He is always listening to us and what we have to say. And may we lift our hands up high -.- and just thank Him. Thank him for building us up...and let Him work within us. No matter how bad it may be...praise him...and give thanks for Him always being there...to love and care for His beloved children...us.

Thank Him for showing you the way...the way that leads from darkness...into light. For He is the light of our world...For He is Good ^_^

-God Bless

ah baby foot steps...learning to crawl before you can walk...something so calming. Hmm yea i guess you could say it was an experience. Never look down. always smile. Smile over wat u have in life. So many blessings. Give thanks to God and only Him. Let Him work through you and your wisdom. I thank God for everything in our lives...every small little detail that shapes our tiny little being, no matter what bad history we may have like Dien said it will help mold us to better worship Him. Thanks God

Now, brothers i have applied these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, so that you may learn from us the meaning of the saying,"Do not go beyond what is written." Then you will not take pride in one man over against another. For who makes you different from anyone else? What do you have that you did not recieve? And if you did recieve it, why do you boast as though you did not?
