Footsteps in the sand is the best way to sum up my learning for this term. If I have learned anything is that I need the Lord more than anything else. This past week I was told I was Anemic from the doctor. I have never felt so scared in my life; and I had no idea what it was and I didn’t no anyone who has had it before. I have never felt so alone. Then the other day I was going through some of my old journals and I came across the following quote:
Footsteps In The Sand
One night a man had a dream.
He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the LORD.
Across the sky flashed scenes from his life.
For each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand:
one belonging to him, and the other to the LORD.
When the last scene of his life flashed before him
he looked back, at the footprints in the sand.
He noticed that many times along the path of his life
there was only one set of footprints.
He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times of his life.
This really bothered him and he questioned the LORD about it:
"LORD, you said that once I decided to follow you,
you'd walk with me all the way.
But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life
there is only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why when I needed you most you would leave me."
The LORD replied:
"My son, My precious child, I love you and I would never leave you,
During your times of trial and suffering,
when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you."

This was the most comforting thing that has happened to me. I then went through all the main points from lessons and I realized that even the prophets of old have moments like this. And even if we do not have the same problems and trials we still need the Lords help.
When I was diagnosed I felt like my world had ended and yet if I have really learned anything this term it’s that we fall to be lifted. And that we need these moments in life to know what it’s like to be free of them. I am really grateful to my “family” here at BYU-Idaho for being so understanding and helping. And also for the book of mormon class to be able to start off my weeks.
And I am so grateful for the Atonement and what it has done for me and I know it will help me with my future trials.
