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 a zombie, but I am better. Terry and I were up til 3—yikes—but it helped me gain perspective. And we prayed away some old ghosts. Praying always works. So today I am okay, if half asleep! I am meeting someone I don’t know for lunch! She is a friend of one of my friends who happens to live in Glendale. Then I plan to head to Pasadena where I found out there is another Urban Outfitters store. I want my shoes (-:

After that I might go work at the church and then go see an apartment in Burbank. I am ready to rent and pay July rent. I just want this part over with. This place sounds nice but the guy is actually SHOWING it tonight and tomorrow night so that means he gets to pick from a slew of people and local people are easier than Texans! But the deposit is low and that helps too. So I will plug on; what else can I do?

Tomorrow is church and I can’t wait. I need to dance like I need to breath. Actually dancing IS my spiritual breathing. (I see a poem coming!)

So praise God, I am on my feet. A righteous man may fall seven times, but the Lord sustains him. I guess the bottom line under all this is that I know that there is something deeper. Terry calls it “the greater purpose.” In my heart I know that, but I think I also have an idea of what it might take to get there. That is the scary part.

Well, I am headed to Glendale soon. It is still overcast here. Maybe this is the day the sun will come out and stay.
