What a Tangled Web We Weave...

I hate tangled yarn. There isn't much in the world that I actually HATE, but hopelessly knotted yarn is one of those things... I hate it when my dishwasher gives up on me. I hate it when the dog flings drool around the room. I hate cicadas. And I HATE a ridiculously chaotic muss of yarn. Some woodworkers say "The wood just speaks to me". Painters may say "The brush told me what it wanted to paint". My yarn speaks to me too. Its saying ''Nanny nanny boo boo! I'm a hopeless MESS!" And I actually love detangling things! But 16 hours on one skein of yarn is a little ridiculous... It makes me want to give up. A wad of fibers is a hopeless cause. But it makes me think... God doesn't give up on us, no matter how tangled our lives our, how 'hopeless' our cause. Other words for tangled are: disordered, complicated, difficult, mixed up, confused, twisted, and TRAPPED. Are you going through any of those in your life? God has more patience than I. He wants to work in your life, and make you free! But you have to cooperate more than a 'knotty' ball of yarn! (This yarn looks like my cat got into it, and then had a seizure. And a dance competition. With himself.) But I will prevail! Sometime God uses things like cotton string to teach us patience...
