Praise
the
lord!
A
nice
warm
place
to
sleep
On
one
of
my
sister
and
I
Diannes
road
trips,
I
can
recall
lots
of
little
mericals
that
taught
me
at
a
young
age
(about
17)
about
the
power
of
manifestation.
We
had
driven
a
"drive-a-way-car"
from
detroit
to
oregon
and
after
dropping
the
car
off
to
its
owners
and
we
were
paid
for
delivering
it
we
backpacked
on
to
california.
A
couple
of
the
simple
things
that
happened
were
my
sister,
Dianne,
after
I
said
i
needed
some shorts
and
a
cool
top
for
the
110
degrees
we
were
experincing..told
me
to
just
ask
for
it..and
it
would
come.
I
wanted
to
believe
her,
yet,
felt
kind
of
silly
asking
outloud.
Those
kinds
of
things
embarrass
me
or
i
feel
shy about
stating
what
I
need
or
feel
i
need.
She
said
"just
do
it
nancy..it
works..you
are
close
to
spirit
it
will
listen!"
(it
went
something
like
that)
So..I
said
it
outloud..(I
was,
actually,
very
uncomfortable
dragging
my
heavy
suticase
why
didnt
I
use
a
backpack..inexperince
I
guess)"spirit,
please
if
you
can..I
could
use
some
shorts
and
a
top
and
a
backpack".
About
an
hour
and
a
half
passed
and
we
were
going
to
walk
up
a
hill
to
find
a
place
to
sleep
at
a
campgropund
when
i
saw
a
blue
and
white
striped
something
laying
in
the
road.
I
stopped
for
a
min..I said
to
my
sister.."look..what
is
that?"
She
said
something
jokingly
(or
maybe
not)
"I'll
bet
thats
what
you
asked
spirit
for"
I
kind
of
smiled
and
set
my
suitcase
down
(
I
was
backpacking
with
a
suitcase!)
and
walk
d
over..It
was
a
backpack!
I
looked
around
and
there
was
noone
on
this
road
in
front
or
behind
us.
I
looked
at
Dianne
and she
just
looked
at
me
like
"well..open
it"
It
was
a
backpack
with
a
pair
of
jean
shorts
and
a
AC
DC
tee
shirt..that
both
fit!
I
found
a
restroom..changed..stuffed
what
I
could
into
it..and
left
my
suitcase
and
some
other
belongings
for
th
enext
person
who
might
need
or
ask
for them!
The
one
experince,
tho,
that
really
made
a
huge
impression
on
me
was
the
day
before,
when
we
atill
had
not
dropped
off
the
car
yet
to
its
owners.
It
was
a
litte
280zx..oh
i
just
thought
of
another
story
Ill
have
to
write next..Ok
so
we
were
driving
an
dit
was
about
midnight
and
we
were
tired.
We
had
a
few
dollars
we
got
from
a
sherriff
who
almost
arrested
us
th
eday
before
for
tresspassing
on
property
that
was
said
to
be
haunted..but
thats
another story
too.
it's
neat
how
all
these
memories
are
flodding
in..I
wish
my
hands
could
keep
up
with
my
thoughts.
So
Dianne
is
Driving
and
we
were
whinign
about
how
tired
we
were
and
had
no
money
for
a
motel..what
shoudl
we
do?
Dianne suggested
somethign
liek
this
"
Ok
nancy..I
know..how
about
you
tell
me
where
to
drive..use
your
abilities..follow
your
feelings..I
totally
trust
you!"
I
shyly
an
dinsecurely
said
somethign
like
"
Nooo..thats
silly..I
can't
do
that..I
dotn
want
to
waste
th
egas
drivign
all
around."
Dianne
said
somethign
like
"come
on
nancy!
Im
tired..you
know
you
can
do
it..just
do
it..tell
me
where
to
drive!"
If
it
was
not
for
Dianne..I
think
I
never
would
have
learned
to
trust
my
feelings
liek
this..I
just
love
her.
But
thats
another
story.
So
I
said
"Ok..umm..go
straight..keep
going
straight."
So
she
did.
I
looked
at
the
gas
gauge
and
we
had
about
1/4
a
tank
...i
wanted
to
trust
my
feelings
without
lettign
worry
ge
tin
the
way
abotu
th
egas
runnign
out..soon
we
approached
another
exit
and
somethign
told
me
to
"go
there"
so
i
said
it
out
loud
"Go
there"
So
she
went
there.
When
we
got
to
the
top
of
the
totally
dark
pitch
dark
exit
I
said
"turn
left"
I
flicke
don
this
tiny
light
inside
the
car
but
i
learned
it
mde
it
harder
to
see
outside.
There
was
nothing
visable
there..I
could
see
in
her
eyes
a
kind
of
"are
you
sure?"
But
she
trusted
me
so
she
did
it.
I
think
w
emade
one
more
right
and
we
wer
eon
this
dark
street
about
qa
block
long..with
dark
store
fronts..no
markings
on
most
of
th
ebuildings..it
was
like..another
ghost
town.
There
was
one
building
when
i
squinted
it
looked
a
sif
paintings
were
on
the
outside..it
was
colorful..it
felt
good
so
i
said,
intuitively
"THERE"
She
said
"THERE?"
I
said
"YES"
We
kind
of
giggled,
maybe
from
nervousness
or
being
over
tired
or
just
the
fun
of
trying
this
out..we
walked
up
and
we
KNOCKED!
WE
knocked
on
a
dark
door
on
a
dark
street
in
a
town
I
don't
remember..but
she(Dianne)
believed
in
me so
I
believed
in
myself
so
we
knocked.
Suddenly
the
light
came
on
above
the
door..my
heart
pounded..this
was
crazy
oh
my
gosh!
A
lady
peeked
out
the
door..we
said
something
like.."were
traveling
and
have
no
place
to
sleep
and
we
felt
spirit
led
us
here..so
sorry..but..."
And
she
said
"PRAISE
THE
LORD"
It
was
a
christian
half
way
house
or
temp
shelter
for
homeless!
There
was
no
sign
or
indication
of
this
on
the
building..yet
we
followed
our
hearts..We
were
welcomed
in..she
read
things
from
the
bible..and
we
got
to
sleep
in
a
bunkbed
ina
room with
a
girl
who
was
afraid
of
the
dark
so
the
lights
were
left
on
all
night..but
it
was
a
bed..and
jesus
helped
us
and
it
was
warm
and..it
was
a
merical..i
think!
I
love
these
things..I
can't
wait
to
write
more.
Thanks for
reading.
Next
Giovanni

wine
and
bread..or
maybe..how
spirit
led
me
up
an
unmarked
road
to
a
sacred
indian
burial
site..I
am
off
to
bed..nite
