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 belonging 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 times along the path ofhis 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 understand why when I needed you most you would leave me."
The LORD replied:
"My son, my precious child,I love you and I would never leave you.During your times of trial and suffering,when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you."

BUSY BUSY BUSY
beware the barren-ness of a busy life. this is one phrase tt is beginning to hit me right now. I am so busy, i have hardly any time to breathe, plus the haze is choking me up. its a monday and i am so grateful when i saw the email that no need to hand up FST report that was supposed to be due today.deadline change to fri.i was so tired that i was falling asleep typing lor.so actually i have french and FST lesson today but i feel like staying home to do finish the report first cos i not even half-way thru. can u imagine. A freaking 10 pages on SATS and HACCP, wad a waste of time. man. but still have to do la. so no pt complaining. soooo...ya. i have half an hour more to decide whether i am going to get ready to go sch. my mind is already half- made up. ha.
got eco report due on friday also. tt one i think also another killer. i think more killer than this 10 pages one. shoot.and then going malaysia for a field trip the whole day on sat, can foresee its going to be a very long and tiring day again.monday a big big big test for animal physio and i haven touched a thing! i am so screwed.
Need God's touch of renewal, strength to carry on, optimism to look ahead, knowing his plans for me are the best, need a divine exchange of my burdens for his yolk that is light.
at this point, my brother's composed song comes back to me:
I'm safe in your arms, Jesus, safe in Your arms
I fear no harm, Jesus, here in Your arms
Cos nothing can move me
The mountains crumble at Your feet
I'm safe in Your arms, Jesus
Safe in Your arms
Change me, Jesus.

To all men: a challenge to all men to treat a woman right.
Do you know you have asked for the costliest thing
Ever made by the Hand above?
A woman's heart, and a woman's life-
And a woman's wonderful love.
Do you know you have asked for this priceless thing
As a child might ask for a toy?
Demanding what others have died to win,
With the reckless dash of a boy.
You have written my lesson of duty out,
Manlike, you have questioned me.
Now stand at the bars of my woman's soul
Until I shall question thee.
You require your mutton shall always be hot,
Your socks and your shirt be whole;
I require your heart be true as God's stars
And as pure as His heaven your soul.
You require a cook for your mutton and beef,
I require a far greater thing;
A seamstress you're wanting for socks and shirts-
I look for a man and a king.
A king for the beautiful realm called Home,
And a man that his Maker, God,
Shall look upon as He did on the first
And say," It is very good."
I am fair and young, but the rose may fade
From this soft young cheek one day;
Will you love me then 'mid the falling leaves,
As you did 'mong the blossoms of May?
Is your heart an ocean so strong and true,
All things that a man should be;
If you give this all, I would stake my life
To be all you demand of me.
If you cannot be this, a laundress and cook
You can hire and little to pay;
But a woman's heart and a woman's life
Are not to won that way.
