"Lori"
Rod asked me to share our experience at the next Maranatha meeting. I went over the basics of the meeting, and it was a faith builder for all of us. Two students came up to me after the meeting. Sonja introduced herself and then her friend Lori. They invited me to come over to their apartment to continue our conversation. They shared their experiences of the Holy Spirit and Angels, and I shared mine.
The next morning a little before 5 a.m., I got a call from Lori. She had overslept and asked if there was any way I could give her a ride to work as she was running late. I agreed. The next morning, I got the same call. In fact, I ended up giving her a ride on a semi-regular basis.
We became fast friends, spent Thanksgiving together, and even decided to go to an Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship youth conference in Urbana, Illinois over the New Year’s break. She got a ride with friends, I drove to Springfield to spend time with my family, and we met up in Urbana.
The big deal for both of us was to be able to see Billy Graham live. It was an awesome experience. It was there that I realized she was the girl from my “The Room” dream. I had suspected it before, but it was confirmed at Urbana. If this was true though, I would know her for at least thirteen years. What should I do? Should I run or go with the flow? I went with the flow.
