Recorded on Mar. 29, 2008: In a Tangle
A few weeks ago, we went camping.
It was fun!
We went go-carting, and we got ice cream and many other things! 
One day we decided to go to the beach and fly kites.
It was COLD, but we still had fun. At first, I had a hard time, but after I got a-hang of it, I did well.
WELL….
When my Dad decided to leave me with his kite, I was doing great, until, my hands started getting stiff from the cold. I called to my Dad, but he was WAY across the beach. Therefore, I decided to land the kite myself.
[B.T.W. This is NOT the best Idea, ESPECIALLY when you have never done it before.]
It went ok at first, but all of the sudden a huge gust of wind lifted the kite of the ground and the kite begun to drag, twist, and jumble the kite up into a big tangled mess!
When I picked up the kite I knew, that my dad was NOT going to be a happy camper about it.
Guess what, I was right.
My Mom and I spent a long time trying to undo it. I was just making it worse, so Mom took over.
After a full day of struggling, my Mom was finally able to get the strings untangled.
Not only was the kite, the ONLY thing that was tangled, but it was me too.
Later on, I think it was that day, I got sass-mouthy with my mom. She was just a happy camper as Dad was about the kite. [Note from mom the editor: Mom was also SICK that day so she was exceptionally NOT a happy camper!!!]
I realized that my heart was not in the right but I denied it inside I thought I could fix it myself. Matters only got worse and my mom cracked down on me. I was annoyed at first, but I thanked her later.
(I don’t think she even knows this yet, b/c I wrote it in a letter, which she hasn’t had the time to read. I know it is the lazy way, I should have talked to her. So now you know, Mom.)
Don’t try to untangle the mess yourself, you will only make matters WORSE!
Please help me when I’m sick or blue,
tuRn not to me, but unto you!
A faith that will help me feel,
Your power, love, and healing, still.
not Earthly things instead, Divine!
Rebind my heart to yours, not mine!
