Read the book "Faith Under Fire" by: LaJoyce Brookshire?

I am 1/4 away from the end and today is my 4th day of reading it and I will most likely finish it tonight. I am speechless, and bewildered by this book. This beautiful woman tells a most unbelieveable story! I believe it yet can barely comprehend the possibility of living through her experience. Basicly a woman unknowingly marries a man who deceives her by not telling her of his HIV status. She finds out and still takes care of him. I am one who admitedly turns a blind eye to the AIDS subject because of the hugeness of this disease. It seems unfathomly impossible to even bother with it, yet people do. A must read! I think of my own awful story then someone tops it. I am bewildered by the suffering we humans can live through when we have God to carry us. How has GOD carried you?

This is the best way I can explain how God has carried me. :-)

Footprints in the Sand

Last night I had a dream. I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from my life. For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand: one belonged to me, the other to the Lord.

After the last scene of my life flashed before me, I looked back at the footprints in the sand. I noticed that at many times along the path of
my life, especially at the very lowest and saddest times, there was only one set of footprints.

This really troubled me, so I asked the Lord about it. 鈥淟ord, you said once I decided to follow you, You鈥檇 walk with me all the way. But I noticed that during the saddest and most troublesome times of my life, there was only one set of footprints. I don鈥檛 understand why, when I needed You the most, You would leave me.鈥?

The Lord replied, 鈥淢y son, my precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of suffering, when you could see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.鈥?/div>
