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 was mixed with a bit of emotion, perhaps the first dilemma that hurt my heart in 5 weeks. I am okay. I prayed. I called Terry and left a message asking her to pray, and then I went on. More interesting developments today. One involves the change I cannot control. It is in motion and I am okay because so is my own. I had a good talk with a good friend. In my own corner of the world, plans shape up firmer and leave little question.

This morning I got up earlier and spent time with God. Today’s powerful moment came with the passion and necessity of Him. I am so desperate for God and I want to be around people who share my desperation. Dr. Hayes and I were talking about façades today, and it is that idea. Desperation leaves no façade, no games. That has been the most freeing thing lately.

So the road trip continues, but the path is clearer, and perhaps more narrow.
