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 have to go to bed so I can’t write much! I went to Jenna’s and we ate at this great restaurant. Then we hung out forever. It was a lot of fun. Nice to get out. Gosh! I actually had a social life this weekend. Most of the time I don’t WANT to do anything.

I liked the drive home. I actually like LA at night. It is more normal—fewer cars, beautiful lights. Maybe I feel like I am on a road trip.

I am excited about driving home at Christmas—especially if it is for good. I booked a U-Haul trailer today. Less than $200 for just that—enough to take the stuff I really need. I took four boxes to Jenna’s. Other books will go to Terry’s.

Speaking of Terry. I got an incredible email from her tonight. It was a response to the epiphany even though she doesn’t know what it is. It made me cry (everything does!), but it was so loving and tender. I appreciated it. I almost want to tell her. Who knows? Maybe I will mention it on the way to the airport Thursday, feel it out and see if maybe that would be a good idea after I get back. But that letter means so much to me. When I get to work I will print it out and cherish it.

NOW I know when my blog will end. I mean, obviously it will end when I get back to Texas, but it will end when the results of the epiphany are fixed and I am okay in that area. I have wondered many times if this blog could be edited into a book. I think it is going to be. It will take me weeks to edit it—it is almost over 250 single spaced pages, but now that I can see the God part I can see WHY it would be a complete book. I always said it had to have an ENDING to be a book and that was not happening. But now I see there will be an ending. I can imagine the epilogue. So even though I know the very WORDS my blog will end with, I also know the idea that must be there. And when I get there, then this will be formatted to a book, much cut out, and then possibly published. It makes sense now.

This is my blog book.
