Faith is the daring of the soul

["robert and carla lawson" <robandcarla@hotmail.com>]

Okay here is the story.. I know how you all LOVVEEE stories.. get your 
hankies...
I was working one week and It seemed as if the entire world was against me 
from the Monday that I woke up and headed to work. At the time I was working 
two different jobs. One at a dog kennel the other with Domino's Pizza. I am 
not sure why we women go through some depressions where we feel the the 
weight of the entire world sometimes rests on our shoulders but for you guys 
out there It just does. I went in to work at the kennel Monday and found out 
that 10 of the puppies that I helped care for and spend alot of time with 
were gone they all were put to sleep, I can't remember what for but I know 
it can clean out a kennel. This has been years ago. Well come to find out 
that same  day my husband announced he had to go to a convention in Las 
Vegas... on my BIRTHDAY!! and I couldn't go! Okay Monday out of the way. I 
was off tuesday Later in the week I had a customer call back and get me into 
a lot of trouble. I won't defend myself here but I will say it aint easy 
finding somefolks and its annoying that you can't give good directions! If 
someone was dying you can bet your best horse you will make sure the 
ambulance  can find you.. order a pizza and you can't tell me what is parked 
in your driveway.. oh the stories of pizza delivery! It was just turning out 
to be a peachy week. I had some other stuff out there going on I can't 
remember all of it. I was having some stress with the manager at work. I was 
having some back trouble too. Rob and I were working so much we hardly saw 
each other and time after time it seemed that when we got ahead well.. 
something kicked us back down to square one. I felt so kicked down that week 
I just remember sitting around feeling sorry for my poor self.I felt pretty 
tired and worn out.I was very depressed and saddend at losing all those 
puppies I had worked with them so much. I was so attached to them.I did what 
I normally do when I need a lift. I will read. I will read anything. So I 
picked up a guideposts magazine. There it was I opened it up and saw
"Faith is the daring of the soul to go Farther than it can see."
I sat there on the floor next to my bed and just stared at the words until 
they made more sense to me.
Picking up my needle and thread I worked for three days to get it. Every 
single spare minute I worked until I had to go to bed or go to work. My 
husband figured it was another craft I was doing. It isn't all that great I 
dyed the material with tea to give it an aged look painted a white matt blue 
with a sponge effect and put it in cheap oak frame. To me it is beautiful 
for the meaning it shows. several have noticed and said how pretty. But to 
me it serves as a reminder. If I let my faith just guide me in my everyday 
life I will soon find out where I need to go. Sometimes it is there right in 
front of my face and others it is barely above the horizon. When I feel lost 
I look at it again and realize I just have to be reminded what I want to do. 
I have many goals in life. I have a long list too. It keeps getting longer. 
I just added going to Dubai (sp) to it. I also have tons of things on it 
from the silly to weird to the WOW!!!Still thinking of adding jumping out of 
an airplane?? I am sure faith is saying don't push me!

Carla (wondering costs of going to Dubai?)
Ansata (MOM.. i will get sand in my shoes!)
