My talk with David was almost anti-climactic. He did not surprise me much by what he said, but it was still wise to talk to him I think.

I did not get enough time with God today. I had my morning, but I had little time this afternoon. I took my mini nap and had to get my haircut, go to the grocery store, etc. I have had no time lately. So I did not get to lie around basking in the heavenly glow. That is not cool! I think I need to get up at 4:30 tomorrow. I need more time and I will lose a lot tomorrow too. But Friday I am coming home as soon as I can get away. Then we have the worship conference Friday night, Shachah Saturday and the kids dance on Sunday night. Then Monday I teach in Mount Pleasant, Tuesday is Robin, Wednesday is dance at church, Thursday is dance at TJC THEN dance at church and Friday I will be beaming all the way to Los Angeles.

I barely have a free minute between now and then so I know it will go fast. Tonight Georgia asked me at dance what I was going to do when they asked me when I was moving there. I told her Darrell does that all the time. But yeah, sure, I hate the Valley and it costs so much and lots of other ick. They could not live in Oklahoma or something? No it has to be LA. Will I commute forever. Most people commute in cars; me? I use AIRPLANES. As David said, I have no strings. I am free to explore and pursue and run the race set before me.

Gotta get to bed so I can get up earlier. Even 4:45 if I cut out some morning stuff could get me more time. I need to just hang out with God. I now work on flags too, besides dance and tambourine. And my prayer and Bible reading is in that time too! There are not enough hours in the day for worship.

It has been three weeks, so I have to think it worked. When I went to Darrell and Terry’s, they both separately told me about another pastor couple they met who were catalysts in what his happening with them now. The friends had prayed that impartation of the Holy Spirit on them. Well, I asked Terry to pray that for me. She did, that last night—morning at 3 a.m.—and I agreed so vehemently. I think it is more than just excitement. I think that prayer took root. I feel change all over me. People say stuff about this and that and I go along with it because I have no right to do otherwise, but in my gut, in my spirit, I feel something new on the horizon. There has to be. I cannot experience what I have experienced and ever go back.

I'm not satisfied living in yesterday's hour
I'm not satisfied to have the form,
but not the power
I'm not satisfied, Oh Lord I am crucified in You
