You and me

One of my resolutions for 2010 is to spend more time with my family.
I really miss my family a lot because I haven't been home much to spend good quality time with 'em.
I'm esp really blessed to have parents like mine who will trust and support me in whatever I do..
Thanks dad for picking me up at 3am even though you're not feeling well.
Thanks mom for always so readily supporting and caring for me.
I wanna really cherish my family!
*so grateful for them now sob*
Okay steamboat's on me now that I've got my pay!

i want a cam.
i want an ipod.
i want a lot of things.
i want things that are unnecessary.
want is not a need.
okay.

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 have noticed that during
the most trying periods of my life
there have only been one
set of footprints in the sand.
Why, when I needed you most,
you have not been there for me?"

The Lord replied,
"The times when you have
seen only one set of footprints in the sand,
is when I carried you."


Have you read this story?
I love it, even as a child I would read and smile for the whole day.
But through the years I got so caught up in things, got so busy with life that I forgot this simple but true story.
Last night I got reminded of it..
The Lord replied,
"The times when you have
seen only one set of footprints in the sand,
is when I carried you.

wow.
