Outside, Overnight, Then Up & Early

So Tuesday night I had a great night with God.   I felt it heavy on my Spirit to start praying and then to just walk the basement reading His word aloud.  He directed to Psalms 13 and I read through Psalms 23 ( I think).    It was powerful, and fun.    Not too long afterwards I went outside to talk to God and just spend time with Him out there.   I was just AMAZED and in AWE of His Glory out there!    The night sky was just gorgeous!  It was so clear and so full and so pure.   WOW, it was Awesome!!!    I went out and asked God some thing and just sat there listening, praying and talking to God.   It was so beautiful.  The weather was great too, it was cool and crisp.     Before too long, I got pretty cold, but I didn't want to just leave and end this awesome experience.  So I went inside and got one of my quilts and a pillow from my car and put on 3 layers of clothes.  Then I came back out to the grassy area by the road and just laid out on the grass.  Wow it was so amazing!   I look back in Awe too.  God is soo Good.   He showed me a handful of Meteors (shooting starts) flying through the skies that night.   I fell asleep in His presence out there and slept great.  Around 4:40am I woke up feeling too cold to go back to sleep, so I packed up and headed inside.    I set my alarm and slept for about an hour.

Then I got up and left the Schlipfs.  I headed to Tremont to visit some teachers from High School.  I also had the Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper that one of my special education teacher's loves and you can only get it down south (thankfully for her, the city Waco, which is about 20 minutes from my mom down in Texas is The Home of Dr. Pepper).   I arrived about 20 minutes before school started at 8am.   I got to talk to and catch up with a handful of great friends (teachers & staff of Tremont High School) that I got to know while in High School.    It was a great day, I really enjoyed it!
