Lonely

     Tonight has been a hard night for me I just got done looking at pictures of my family having fun. I know that this summer is going to be tough for me because I am a family guy I need to be close to them and let them know that I am here and willing to help but being 4000 miles away from home makes that a little difficult. With God on my side though I know I can get through the tough lonely nights. Jesus ever shining so brightly shows me that it will always be alright. Out of my family I feel that I am the one that needs to know that they are close but at the same time I feel that I am the most adventuresome one as well. I went into this knowing that it was going to be hard for me but with all the generous support I have received from my family and friends things will be fine.

          As for good news I have been van trained today and I can drive a 15 passenger van and anything smaller I cant wait for the season to start that way it will consume my time and ease my aching heart. Since I have been up here I have made some very wonderful friends from all around the lower 48. One of them and I butt heads a little because he is a Michigan fan and I am an Ohio State fan but its a friendly rival with that rivalry I think we have became better friends it gives us something to make fun at and gets us to laugh. We actually had a bet going that if I told another one of our friends there was no floaties in a beer he couldn't wear his Michigan hat to the movies last night which we all had a good kick out of when we told everyone why he couldn't wear it.

  Thank you Lord for all I have my faith, family, and friends without them I would have never gotten where I am at now. Through hardship there is ease, once you feel you have hit bottom there is only one way you can go and that is up. Through Him all things are possible.
