restful weekend... Sort of

There always seems to be seasons in life. Some seasons last a little longer than others but for the most part life seems to be in a season of growth, excitement, and joy. 

The last few years there has been something that has been always in the back of my mind that I have been waiting for it to come to a head, and it seems like the last few months it has. So I find myself in a season of chaos, confrontation, and busyness. 

When Wednesday hit I had determined that I was going to take a sabbath on Friday and journal through this time, pray through this, and just spend some much needed time with God. To start off my day I met a couple of my friends at Salt Creek to go surfing, which to me is a sabbath because I get to just be. I was in the water for about an hour and only caught a couple of waves when I had this pain hit my lower back.

I got out of the water immediately laid their on the sand and stretched out my back as good as I could. Walked up the hill and tried to get my wetsuit off. I got my wetsuit around my knees and realized I could no longer bend over to take it off. This was extremely awkward. My chiropractor Paul Stately (he is an awesome guy and becoming a good friend) was kind enough to let me come in on his lunch break since he had no availability for the day. 

Turns out I jacked up my SI joint in my hip, so my right hip is higher and somewhat twisted from my left side. Needless to say I have been laying in bed just about everyday since Friday afternoon not able to really walk or move around. 

Was this week restful? Yes I was able to do some thinking and praying, as well as some studying. However, I have been so much pain and I absolutely hate just laying around all day for several days so I am going crazy.
