Stop and Slow Down

So its been a long time since i have written, so heres a post. i have been super busy with school and i had my gal bladder taken out. i have also been helping at the warming center so all that stuff has kept me really busy. while being in the hospital there was many things that i learned and that i seen and heard from god that i want to share. first i want to say is that it was very painful to have my gall bladder taken out. i was laying in the bed on Thursday and i was alone and waiting to go in for surgery and i really felt gods presence like i have never felt it before. it wasn't like a over whelming feeling is was a peace feeling like he was sitting there and just holding me. he was there and for the first time in my life i felt completely held and in that moment i could not help but cry. that feeling has been with me and i cant shake it and frankly i don't want to shake it:) when i was laying in bed i thought to myself that the reason i got sick was so i could slow down and focus on what god is teaching me and stop trying to figure everything out on my own. thats about what is going in my life at the moment.
