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 teh 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 wuold walk and talk with me all the way.
But I'm aware that durijg the most troublesome
times of my life there is only one set of
footprints.
I just don't understand why, when I needed 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."

EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON!
Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away
Everything happens for a reason!
The people you meet affect your life. The successes and downfalls
MAKE EVERYDAY COUNT!
Break free and set your sights high.
that they were meant to be there... to serve some sort of purpose,
teach you a lesson or help figure out who you are or who you want
to become. You never know who these people may be but when you
look eyes with them, they will affect your life in some profound way.
And sometimes things happen to you at the time that may seem
horrible, painful and unfair, but in reflection you realize that
without overcoming those obstacles you would have never realized
your potential, strength, will power or heart.
Nothing happens by chance or by means of good luck.
Illness, injury, love, lost of moments of true greatness and
sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul.
Without these small tests, life would be like a smoothly paved,
straight, flat road to nowhere, safe and comfortable but
dull and utterly pointless.
that you experience can create who you are, and the bad experiences
can be learned from... In fact, they are probably the most poignant
and important ones. If someone hurts you, betrays you or breaks your
heart, forgive them because they have helped you learn about trust
and the importance of being cautious to whom you open your heart.
If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally not only
because they love you, but also because they are teaching you
to love and open your heart and eyes to little things.
Appreciate every moment and take from it everything that you
possibly can, for you may never be able to experience it again.
Talk to people who you have never talked to before, and actually listen.
Let yourself fall in love even if it doesn't seem right because
you are too young or too far, just follow your heart.
Surround yourself with those who make you smile,
laugh, and make you happy.
Hold your head up because you have every right to.
Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself,
for if you don't believe in yourself, no one else will believe in you.
Create your own life then LET GO and LIVE IT!
