Susy Smith revealed in her book an episode that has all the earmarks of a walk-in transition. Sometime during World War II, when Susy Smith was a young adult in her early thirties, she worked in Baltimore as a hospital secretary with an extremely arrogant boss. Because the war was in full swing, single young men who were husband material were few and far between. She writes: “Toward the end of that year as a hospital secretary, I was so completely miserable that I tried to kill myself. … Over a time, many worries pile up in the mind until there comes such a feeling of helplessness that there is an inability to endure another moment of life. … Now that I was entirely resolved, I eagerly began swallowing the prescription liquid sleep aid I obtained earlier that day. The bottle’s contents could not be drunk straight down, for it would have come straight up, so I took the potion spoonful by spoonful, secure in the belief that if I got down enough of it, oblivion would forever result. But with each sip I became more and more nauseated, and finally it was impossible to lift the spoon to my mouth once more. I barely made it to my bed to rest a few more moments until the malaise might pass and my deadly chore be continued.” She continues, “The birds were chirping merrily when I awoke to a sunny morning, and I never felt better in my life. I joined them in song, actually dancing around the room in happiness to find myself alive and greeted by such a beautiful day.” This mirrors the transition experience of many, many walk-ins. What is Creator’s perspective?
