Will I ever just slow down??

So gall bladder surgery went well last week. Sherrie, Ella and I got there at 7 like I was told and I got to go back with the nurse around 8-8:15. They did some pre-op stuff and said that my surgeon was finishing up a surgery and I should get started by 9-9:30. I can't remember exactly when I went back because I didn't have contacts or glasses on but I believe they were pretty close.....then I woke up at 11:15ish....was given pain medicine and once I was fully awake I was given the door....hahaha. I was totally out of there by like 12 or 12:15!! The gas they used to blow up my belly was what really hurt. Strangest thing....it would get stuck up in my collarbone and right shoulder blade and hurt so so bad! That lasted about 2.5 days. Then the incisions hurt because I stopped taking any type of pain medicine. Lucky for me, Saturday when we drove 3 hours to Arkansas to visit family I was feeling a little better and was able to sleep in more than one position that night. The weekend was very busy and fun, full of family and birthday cake! We stayed till Monday afternoon then headed home for my seminary wives class and to give Mark a few hours to study. Tuesday I played basketball at Bellevue....not my best game to say the least but I was very timid due to still being a little sore and things like running and jumping kind of hurt. :) Why did I play you might ask? Well I LOVE to play and I went for so many years not playing I just didn't want to miss an opportunity! Yesterday was church and tonight I really don't have plans so I am very excited to have a "slow" night! We fill our days up with so much stuff that we forget to be still. We forget to spend time with the Lord and just listen to Him. I struggle with that because I love noise and I love to be doing something. It is hard for me to just sit if I am not watching something either on TV or live. God is working on me in this area to take time to just be still before Him and listen to Him speak to my soul. I find His voice to be the quietest because He desires me to truly listen to Him and only Him. I have to REALLY listen and I want to and I am working on it. I am thankful for his patience and kindness towards me and I hope I can show that same patience and kindness to my family. Let's take some time to slow down and be still before the Lord. You will be blessed by it!
