Welcome to my blog. I'm so glad you have decided to join me on my journey.
So let's begin...
Why "Kristen's Footprints"? Well, you see the poem "Footprints" has been an encouraging poem for me as it reminds me that I'm not on my own, that through sorrows and joys God is with me. If you've never read the poem, here it is.
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 the 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 would walk and talk with me all the way. But I'm aware that during the most troublesome times of my life there is only one set of footprints. I just don't understand why, when I need 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."
* Why walking talking lighthouses? My father was a lighthouse for many people until his death and so the image of a lighthouse has been a very meaningful image for me and my family and so has this Bible verse.
Blessings to you,
Kristen
