Susan's Road Trip to California--Continued

This is probably the longest road trip EVER. Before it ends back in Texas next year sometime I will have experienced many things from ecstatic spiritual highs to deep humility and pain. In the end I will come out stronger and knowing more than ever. My TX pastor said it best--I have a great CAPACITY to grow spiritually. If only it weren't so hard to do. If only you could fail alone.

Finally the last day of April, and, hey, it is only 90 degrees. UGH! There is a rumor going around school about me. Well, unless something true is not labeled a rumor. It is true, and it is not mean spirited, but it is not something I want in the wrong hands either. The bookkeeper told me, and I told Dr Hayes and his secretary; they were shocked. They are the only ones who were supposed to know anything and they have lips quieter than a member of the witness protection program. I have my suspicions, but I am unable to pursue them for a couple weeks. It is certainly not upsetting, but it does concern me for the sake of others, not myself.

I had a realization this morning as I prayed. I was praying about this issue that arose yesterday when Terry mentioned something. I realized that if it has been in me 9 ½ years God wants it OUT. In many ways it is so minor because I no longer function as I did, but the fact that I recall so clearly tells me something. When I saw that this also was God continuing the purifying process, I started crying and declaring my love. I was high from that moment on.

I mailed Terry a letter with the whole story in it. Amazing what truth does.

I am sleepy. I was up too late writing, up too early praying. Long day, long night. But it is okay and I am at peace. Peace is a good thing.
