footprints in the desert

everybody's familiar with that "footprints in the sand" story, right? the one that says, when you see only one set of footprints, it's actually the time when God is carrying you? well, i know it's true. still, seeing only *one* set of footprints in a vast desert land.. where everything around you is just sand.. and more sand.. well, that can pretty much shake your beliefs about anything.

i wonder why that's the case. why is it easier to accept things when there are more people who believe, along with us? will a hundred more sets of footprints make God's reality more real?

no they won't.

it's probably just that knowing you're not alone.. it just makes everything - the silence, the scorching heat, the painful dryness, the doubting - more bearable.
