Footprints

No matter how many times I hear or read this, it remains one of my all time favorites...

Footprints in the Sand

One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord.

Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.

In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.

Sometimes there were two sets of footprints,

other times there were one set of footprints.

This bothered me because I noticed

that during the low periods of my life,

when I was suffering from

anguish, sorrow or defeat,

I could see only one set of footprints.

So I said to the Lord,

"You promised me Lord,

that if I followed you,

you would walk with me always.

But I have noticed that during

the most trying periods of my life

there have only been one

set of footprints in the sand.

Why, when I needed you most,

you have not been there for me?"

The Lord replied,

"The times when you have

seen only one set of footprints in the sand,

is when I carried you."

Very Important News...

1. I despise wearing socks. Always have. They get all twisted up in my shoes and give me minor panic attacks.
2. My new dog, Paisley Ann, is wonderful. BUT she barks at people periodically and I can't figure out how to make her stop. If that's our worst problem, I feel pretty good about things but it seriously has to stop.
3. When my husband is out of town (ALL THE TIME) I miss him so, so much. While I constantly wish he didn't have to go, it really does make me appreciate him so much more. Can't wait for him to come home tomorrow!
4. The weather here has been a little rainy this week. It's great because we really need the rain but it's not great at all because I've had to leave the dogs in the house, which means I haven't been able to go to spin class this week. I love it and don't like missing it at all.
5. I've been craving Chinese buffet food. I want some right now.
6. I'm pretty certain my house smells like dog pee. I think Paisley has had one accident since we got her, which is great, but I just can't get the carpet clean! Michael says I'm crazy and it smells fine but I'm not so sure.
7. The reason I don't blog as often as I should isn't for a lack of things to say. It's because I hate uploading pictures from my camera to my computer so I never do it, but I think blog posts without pictures (like this one!) are kind of boring.
8. My car's check engine light is on so I'm driving Michael's car. It needs new tires very badly and I'm afraid they're gonna blow out while I'm driving.
9. I tried to rescue a cat today when I was driving back to work from a meeting. He was running in the street so I pulled into a parking lot and tried to catch him. It didn't work and people were honking at me. I hope he's OK.
10. I wish Real Housewives of New Jersey was on tonight. Man, I love that trashy show!
