"Have you tangled the threads He has given to you
To make in a perfect design,
And woven, instead of the pattern He gave,
Another, unlike the divine?
Are the colors confused in the life you have lived,
Unblended by skilled artist hands?
Is the tapestry, meant to be even and true,
Made ugly with coarse, broken strands?
You may throw them away and start over again
With threads new and bright as before;
But until Jesus does all the weaving for you,
You will only tangle them more.
Why not take them--the blunders, the tangles, and all,
Life's colors still blurred on the slate--
And lay them all down at the Master's feet?
For He can make crooked things straight.
Then just leave them all there, and remember to trust,
And don't touch a thread, but just wait,
And sing while you watch Him untangle them all,
For He will make crooked things straight."

I just want to PRAISE THE LORD! My life was confused and tangled; I was wounded and broken...and He is in the process of making this "crooked thing straight." Thank you my God for You called me back from that road I went down, that was off Your track. Glory! Glory! to God on high.
