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.

I am not the same Christian I was a week ago. It is amazing what a simple comment can do to a person. This time the comment changed me for the better. It is awesome to me what God can do so simply. Tonight I am bouncing off the walls (and simultaneously breaking them down!). My vision and passion have grown. I am beginning to understand.

Meanwhile I am seeing what God is doing in other areas. I am seeing that nothing is a waste. All those years I longed for dance and free worship in Quitman and I felt I lost that battle and moved away. But now look! Now a fellow Shachah person has moved to Quitman just as the new ministry has started there and it is SO GOD that it amazes me. And the selfish part of me is so thrilled because it feel like I get to be a part of this and helping to bring dance into this community in worship after all. I am leaving but before I do I get to introduce my friends and let them connect. So I thanked God that He would allow me to play a part. I guess nothing is a waste after all, huh!

Meanwhile, I got a blessing for my Vermont trip when my banker extended my payment for July and I ended up with enough money to cover my rental car and the conference fee! I praise God because I was not sure how I would pay for it.

I had a wonderful time with Carrie (Hi, Carrie La Shell!) and got to enjoy seeing God work in the life of one of my old students—in my class the first year I taught—and grow into a young woman of God.

Everything today was God God God—yesterday too. I had the best time I have had with Robin is AGES. I always enjoy our time together but we connected in a deeply spiritual way again that I have missed. Our hearts are still united in God. We have two more times together until I leave—fortunately, she leaves with me!—and it suddenly struck me. I am so used to her being in my life. She is just always there. Maybe it won’t be as easy as I thought. There is no other Bobbin Bowser in the world.

I love my Bobbin.
