She was a year ahead of me but I ended up getting to know her because she invited me to go to church with her and she also was part of Intervarsity.  She&#8217;s one of the few people I&#8217;ve kept in touch with since graduation.<\/p>\n<p>When all the chaos started happening this week, I called her to see if I could stay with her or something because I was having to come up to northwestern Washington (where she&#8217;d moved) to deal with my family crisis.  She called me back and told me she could pick me up at the train station (she actually volunteered to drive to Sea-Tac!!!!) and I could stay with her if I needed to.  All I ended up needing was a ride from the train station and she also got to meet my family (who I think probably hugged her to death when they met her).<\/p>\n<p>A couple days later, she called and asked if we could hang out while I was up here.  My grandfather was doing well, so I said yes and we arranged to go out to dinner and talk.<\/p>\n<p>We ended up going to Applebee&#8217;s tonight as well as going to the mall and doing some shopping.  I honestly can&#8217;t remember the last time (if ever) I&#8217;ve gone shopping with friends and we had a really good time.  We got some good conversation in and just being able to spend the time with her seriously blessed me because I miss her (she is literally the world&#8217;s sweetest person) and I&#8217;ve missed doing things with godly women my age.<\/p>\n<p>So&#8230; my personal prayer request of community was answered&#8230; in a really quirky &#8220;only God would answer it this way&#8221; kind of sense.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I met Melissa on probably my second or third day of college as she lived down the hall from me.
