In a time of knowing what is lost, a time of knowing will I be found is what is making me feel worried. It all started last weekend when I was going on a walk and I was just looking at the magnificent things that God has created and taking in the beauty of it all. I pray that I'm found. I don't know exactly where I am. I know that I'm a little far from home. There are many trees around me and I don't see any things by me. I think I'm in the woods but I don't remember why I would come to the woods that are a little further from my house. I spot a cave, it's not big but I go towards it and it looks like no one has taken care of it in so long. I try to see if there are other things that might point me towards home, bur all I can see is that it could get dark soon. I decided to take my lantern and go in the cave. I start a fire outside of the cave so that I can stay warm. I find different things to make so I don't go hungry and that I can stay warm, in case I have to sleep in the cave tonight. I've been here for I don't know how long but I know it's been since last weekend. I really hope and pray my family is looking for me and will have organized a search and rescue team. I don't mean to ever take long walks and then end up to where I know I shouldn't probably be but I know when things are scary, I don't have to be afraid because I know that God is with me always. It's getting dark, so it looks like I'm going to be spending the night out here till morning. It was never my intention to spend the night out here, but what am I to do? I don't know my way back and I certainly won't know it until tomorrow morning. Then just as I was about to go and drift off to sleep I heard a voice. It was a familiar voice. It was familiar because it was my mom's voice. I know it anywhere. Then I heard a second voice, and that was my dad's voice. I then see two lanterns, and them coming towards me. They hug me, and are crying tears of joy. One of our park rangers is with them, and has a lantern too. This time they blow out the fire and and help me out of the woods with what I had from the cave and outside of it. The park ranger escorts us back safely to our house, and my parents tell me how worried they were. My parents also told me that they thought they were going to lose me forever, but are so glad they knew where to look, and I'm glad they found me because I didn't think that I would be found at first. I thought it be months before someone found me. I told my parents that I was sorry for scaring them and I know it was wrong of me to go further than I should. They told me that they were glad I was safe and nothing bad happened and that I was grounded for going to where I shouldn't have gone to begin with. The punishment was fair because I did in a way disobey them. I knew that I shouldn't have, but I love to explore, only I shouldn't have gone to the woods that I was at. A few weeks and months had passed and me being grounded was over, but I learned a lesson from this. The lesson that I learned from all of this was to never do things like that again, if someone says no because I never did go back to where my parents, and the park ranger found me. My name is Kara and I'm 19 years old and this was a story of what happened with me and how I got reunited with my parents.
