moved in, but feeling a bit lonesome....

I am now almost fully moved into my new house. I have enjoyed the past few days here, but it does feel a bit lonely at times. Maybe that is just part of the transition from 3 months in a super close community of 23 people to barely any community now.
In a few weeks school will start, until then I will be working full time to try and make some rent money. I am looking forward to school starting, and the house being full. Also it will be nice to have a lot of friends back in town, right now it seems like everyone is gone.
I have had some good time to process my time in Kenya, and all that I learned there. I am very glad that I went, it was a life changing trip. I am sad though, for I know that since most of the people I worked with live in the southern U.S. I won't have any chances to see them, and most likely friendships will just fade away, I shall try hard to keep in touch, but it is going to be difficult.
I am sorry that this post is a bit of a downer, but I am in a bit of a funk right now, and wish that I had friends around to spend time with, and hope that this year I find a girlfriend, but I won't put too much stock into that, for I know that when it comes to romance, I am definately a novice.

brian... i pray you'd find such peace and joy in the Lord's arms alone and you'd be filled up to overflowing rather than wishing you had more. God is teaching me so much about being so completely satisfied w/ Him alone and has assured me that until I am there He will not put anything else in my life that could take His place.... just a thought. As far as the girl thing... Let Him lead it... don't go searching... He's sovereign and Good and knows your needs :) miss you friend!
