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.

Today the IF became WHEN, as Terry put it. When I told her some of the latest stuff she said, almost laughing, “Just surrender.” I told her what my morning blog entry said. It really is clear. Tonight I wrote my pastor an email. What else is there to say? My only concern is for some people I love dearly. Terry and I prayed about that, and I know she will continue to, and I asked my pastor to also.

It was so good to talk to Terry even if I have been in a bit of a funk about the reality of all this. I had a reaction to something from almost 9 ½ years ago as I talked to her. I have a feeling there will be a bit of this to get through, but that is okay. The truth sets me free, and God is doing a work. I got off the phone with her, went back to work and had an email from Darrell. I don’t think I like anyone’s emails better these days. It is amazing what is happening.

I know I have to work through a bit of the funky feelings—it is normal and I realize that. Already they are subsiding. God is so in everything happening, but, wow, is it overwhelming! Soon I will write candidly, but I have to wait. I am thinking at the three week mark. Maybe then. But yeah, I have written it down and He has made it clear. Darrell and Terry see it too, and that matters because they also are my spiritual leaders.

This is the great adventure.
