One night I dreamed a dream. 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."
this is a story i really really like. i remember that when i was in BMT at tekong, there was a poster with this story stuck above one of the urinals in the toilet at my floor. at that time i had left God, i had left church, and wasn't even remotely thinking of one day coming back to church. but somehow, i will always end up doing my business halfway at that specific urinal before remembering that this was
the urinal.
in the end, somehow God just engineered circumstances that led to me going back to church just before i POC-ed. and it has been a roller-coaster ride since then. i'm glad to be where i am now, because i know this is where i know God wants me to be now.
just as i've missed my mark before, and God having a redemptive plan for me, so He has for you if you'd turned away. don't miss the next chance. (:
just read jian ming's blog about the trip to CHCKL. and WHOA. the live feed crew
don't use walkies. WHOOOA. he said that they depended on the Holy Spirit, and just flow along with Him. WHOOOOOOOA. and when you think of the times when we said that "aiyah, the walkie not working again, then in the end cannot deliver..."
looking forward to the day we do
sound without walkies... LOL!
