The story of footprint

I love the story of footprint since I accepted Christ. And I think most of the Christian heard the story before. This passage about the footprint was quoted from somewhere in the web.

************
FOOTPRINTS…A New Version

Imagine, you and the Lord Jesus are walking down the road together. For much of the way, the Lord’s footprints go along steadily, consistently, rarely varying the pace.

But your footprints are a disorganized stream of zigzags, starts, stops, turnarounds, circles, departures, and returns.

For much of the way, it seems to go like this, but gradually your footprints come more in line with the Lord’s, soon paralleling His consistently. You and Jesus are walking as true friends!

This seems perfect, but then an interesting thing happens: Your footprints that once etched the sand next to Jesus’ are now walking precisely in His steps.

Inside His larger footprints are your smaller ones, you and Jesus are becoming one.

This goes on for many miles, but gradually you notice another change. The footprints inside the larger footprints seem to grow larger.

Eventually they disappear altogether. There is only one set of footprints. They have become one.

This goes on for a long time, but suddenly the second set of footprints is back. This time it seems even worse! Zigzags all over the place. Stops. Starts. Gashes in the sand. A variable mess of prints.

You are amazed and shocked. Your dream ends. Now you pray: “Lord, I understand the first scene, with zigzags and fits. I was a new Christian; I was just learning. But You walked on through the storm and helped me learn to walk with You.”

“That is correct.”

“And when the smaller footprints were inside of Yours, I was actually learning to walk in Your steps, following You very closely.”

“Very good.. You have understood everything so far.”

When the smaller footprints grew and filled in Yours, I suppose that I was becoming like You in every way.”

“Precisely.”

“So, Lord, was there a regression or something? The footprints separated, and this time it was worse than at first.”

There is a pause as the Lord answers, with a smile in His voice.

“You didn’t know? It was then that we danced!”

*********
I read about this new version quite some years ago, but the last part about dancing with the Lord, I only get to understand it when I started to learn ballroom dancing. It is not easy to dance. When dancing, certain rules must be followed and normally the female cannot take the start but to wait for the male to give her signal to start the dance. The female cannot have her own idea where to go, but to closely follow the male which step to move, whether to make a turn, or to go backward, to go forward, to start or to stop. When the partner had been dancing for quite some time, the female will be very sensitive towards the move of the male. And she can catch every of the signal given by her partner and dance according to what her partner wants.

So, being a Christian, we are like learning to dance with the Lord. We have no right to decide which move to take, but to wait upon to the Lord to give us signal on which step to take. We cannot be too fast, and cannot be too slow.. when the Lord move, we got to quickly follow Him.. and when we do so, we can dance gracefully with the Lord, those around us will be amazing with our gracefulness when we dance with the Lord. Will it be very tough dancing with the Lord? Our Lord is the best dancer, and He will make sure u are under guided. when you are not sure where to go, He will give u a pull or a push, a hold or letting off and to make sure u go the way He wanted.

How beautiful it is of this new version. And I guess the writer must be a dancer too… so as the AUTHOR… =)

Thank God. I never know I can appreciate dancing this much. =)

周周转转

今天我应该是很忙,不会有时间上来的。。可是。。太不爽了,所以要上来吐一吐苦水。。

我自问一向来plan公司的cash flow的timing是相当准的。言下之意就是我不会留太多资金防身。。可是。。这个月,有一个一向来准时还钱的顾客突然间delay payment!!!! 哇!!!我要疯了!!!结果我就将现有的资金做调整挪动。如果多几次这种状况,我看我就快得心脏病了。

还好上帝看顾我上个月尾的资金还蛮松动。。不然。。我已经完蛋了。。。

希望我能顺顺利利过完这个星期。。银行户头不要赤字才好。。。。

我要疯了。。。

I will remember you…

I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don’t let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories

Thanks for making my every Wednesday a special one.. Thanks for giving me a spark of life..

Time flies, 7 months is just in a glance.

Something which we can’t hold on, but something which will be in my memory.

You made it a start in my life, and I will continue on..

I will miss you, miss of dancing with you.

Honoured

I met him 5 minutes ago. He is a gentlemen, thoughtful, polite and, ehhem…handsome and charming. It is always my pleasure to attend a meeting chaired by him. He always has his way to present his point of view and making people understand him by using all kinds of illustration.

I find that I have difficulties in putting him down in word.

Just now when he met me, regardless that I am only a small manager in one of the subsidiaries of the group, he paused, and greet me in a smile: “Hi, Cynthia. ”

I felt honoured.

He is the boss of my GM, the Vice President of the group, Mr WM.

************
Imagining one day when I meet Jesus Christ in heaven, He will definitely call me by my name too. And in fact He is there for me anytime, anywhere. HE is the God, and yet HE is my friend. I feel even more honoured.

要加油

大家下午好。今天的话题依然是开心与不开心。究竟该如何保持一颗喜乐的心?我所敬仰的黄美莲博士说:「我只看我所有的,不看我所没有的。」只要如此,就能够常常笑口常开。真的。让人不开心的事莫过于自己达不到自己的期望或别人达不到自己的期望。就是在看自己与别人只差,或别人与别人之差。。生命可以更艰辛,故我应感恩。这里与大家分享另一句影响黄美莲博士的话:Do not pray for an easy life, but pray to be a strong person。是的,我要在软弱时刚强,在低潮时开怀,在沮丧时喜乐,在忧愁时信靠。

主啊,离了祢,我果真什么也不是,什么也不能。是时候回家了。

智慧.清心

心情还是没能完全好起来。是因为压力造成的吧。。我似乎突然忘了如何在心情差时微笑的方法。。每次在开口说话前都要提醒自己控制自己的情绪。。我知道伊也不好受。。伊也好压力。。我知道如果可以的话伊宁愿做个开心的人,宁可像我初识的伊那样,总爱傻傻的笑。

人如果没有欲望,就会少些烦恼。。

诗篇90
90:1 〔神人摩西的祈祷。〕主阿、你世世代代作我们的居所。
90:2 诸山未曾生出、地与世界你未曾造成、从亘古到永远、你是 神。
90:3 你使人归于尘土、说、你们世人要归回。
90:4 在你看来、千年如已过的昨日、又如夜间的一更。
90:5 你叫他们如水冲去.他们如睡一觉.早晨、他们如生长的草.
90:6 早晨发芽生长、晚上割下枯干。
90:7 我们因你的怒气而消灭、因你的忿怒而惊惶。
90:8 你将我们的罪孽摆在你面前、将我们的隐恶摆在你面光之中。
90:9 我们经过的日子、都在你震怒之下.我们度尽的年岁、好像一声叹息。
90:10 我们一生的年日是七十岁.若是强壮可到八十岁.但其中所矜夸的、不过是劳苦愁烦.转眼成空、我们便如飞而去。
90:11 谁晓得你怒气的权势、谁按着你该受的敬畏晓得你的忿怒呢。
90:12 求你指教我们怎样数算自己的日子、好叫我们得着智慧的心。
90:13 耶和华阿、我们要等到几时呢.求你转回、为你的仆人后悔。
90:14 求你使我们早早饱得你的慈爱、好叫我们一生一世欢呼喜乐。
90:15 求你照着你使我们受苦的日子、和我们遭难的年岁、叫我们喜乐。
90:16 愿你的作为向你仆人显现.愿你的荣耀向他们子孙显明。
90:17 愿主我们 神的荣美、归于我们身上.愿你坚立我们手所作的工.我们手所作的工、愿你坚立。

劳苦愁烦。。多贴切的4字。。是的,人总都活在劳苦愁烦中。。。智慧的心。。敬畏耶和华乃是智慧的开端。。清心的人有福了,因为他们必得见神。因“清心”的人不贪恋世俗,惠心追求上面的事,故能亲见主面。

但愿我亦能。

唉。。

你是一个容易开心、满足的人吗?我自认我一向来都是。可是最近这两天,我并不开心。

其实我真的不晓得原因是什么。真的。就是很不开心。也许是近来出了很多不在预算里面的钱。还不是小数目。。加起来,已经超过我一个月的薪水。一年才12个月,我就轻易地用了超过一个月的薪水。让我真的很烦,很不悦。

还有。。有很多事情要我完成。。一堆堆!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 为什么是我???????????为什么?????????好像如果我不做,就没人做!!!!!! 然后好像是那种放不掉的。。。。。。。一拿起来就放不掉的!!!!!!!!!还有时间一点点流掉。。都没有做!!!

嗯。。看样子,第二个原因才是我不开心的主因。。。

我想我现在的脸一定比包公还要黑。不过当我知道原因后,心情似乎有好转一点。。

求主怜悯我。。。

辅导课

今天我又到中学上辅导课了。最近同工越来越少,大家都好没有斗志哦。。连我也因为工作忙碌的缘故好几次都缺席了。今天就我一个人负责。原本就想快快将我预备好的讲稿讲完就下台,结果当我站在讲台上,看见一个一个熟悉的面孔 – 我负责的班的小瓜,突然心中很不舍得。。因为他们今年年尾就要毕业了,也许今天将会是我最后一次见他们。当下觉得对这群小瓜很亏欠。。在下课后回公司的路上,突然有种想法。不知为什么每当有事奉交代到我手中,很多时候我都会觉得很压力,很烦躁。很多时候也宁可用工作忙碌为借口而推辞了。可是每当完成一项任务,又会觉得很感恩,因为上帝让我经历这许许多多。。所以我就对自己说:接下任务/事奉绝对不会错的。。因为我得到的永远比我付出的还要多很多。

感谢啊爸父再次让我感到满足。。

不知为什么今天这首歌不断在我脑海里浮现:复兴圣洁

主,求祢复兴我,心中的圣洁,
为我造清洁的心,使我重新有正直的灵

主,求祢复兴我,心中的圣洁,
将我分别为圣,作祢尊贵荣耀器皿。

我将身体,献上当作活祭, 一生作祢圣洁的器皿,
我将生命献上为祢而活, 为祢呼吸。

我将身体,献上当作活祭,一生作祢圣洁的器皿,
一生传扬基督的圣名。

给小瓜们:虽然也许我们今后很难会遇见,可希望我们每一位都能学像我今天分享的主角:黄美廉一般,那么的积极,那么的勇敢,那么的有恒心毅力。。加油吧!让我们一起为着将来而努力!
