When God puts you in timeout

I was rear ended the day before thanksgiving.  Traffic was stopped on the interstate and the man comming up behind me in traffic did not realize it.  He was doing 50 mph when he hit the back of my car totaling it.  In the process it also ruptured a disk in my back and I will have surgery on Tuesday the 18th.  I will be out of work for 4 to 6 weeks at home recovering my health and I pray a deeper part of my heart.  While I believe God did not cause the accident I do believe he has taken this oppertunity to put me in "time out"  So now I have a choice, I can stay home and check out of life, distract myself with TV, the Wii or other thing or I can pursue God and what he has for me.  Like all of us I have areas in my life that I have chosen (out of fear and doubt in Gods heart towards me) hold back from Him.  I pray that I will take this time he has given to me and seek Him and allow Him to heal and restore me fully into the man He created me to be.
