I define Generation W as Generation Weirdos! As I past these two weeks of seeking God and sometimes failing Him, I realised that this current generation of youth are kinda weird. The reaction they give, the answers they reply, are merely weird.
Sometimes, I feel that I've living in a world of emptiness. I recalled the story of Footprints. When we feel alone, we are not. God is carrying us when we see one set of footprints.
Footprints in the Sand
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.”

Then I cried whenever I'm reminded of this story. Never will I forget this when I'm alone. Especially in my Quiet Time. Yesterday, I cried. Tears flow as I prayed for a friend of mine. The conversation ended with sentences like "I don't wanna go church liao" and so on.
I really wanna thank my good and faithful friend, Hui Fen [Joelle], for spending time to listen and be there for me. Though we seldom meet, we met in an awesome way, isn't it?? I think she'll agree. Hey, Hui Fen.. Thanks for the encouragement. Study hard okay?? See you soon!

In His Love,
