I have come to find how precious fellowship truly is. My first two weeks after coming back from Florida were a little rough on me. I didn't realize just how much I really need people. I mean I have always realized I need friends, but I just didn't realize how edifying friendship can really be, and as Proverbs 27:17 says "as iron sharpens Iron, so one man sharpens another."

God has definitly blessed me the past couple weeks with new friendships and bringing me closer with a coupole older ones. As well as helping me reach out to those I haven't gotten a chance to talk to sinc eI was in Thailand, and it has been refreshing. I am just so thankful that I don't feel like I am all alone anymore. When I first got back from Thailand, everyone wanted to see me and hang out and catch up, but shortly after, everyone was too busy with their own lives. I felt totally out of the loop. Like I didn't belong. Like I belong overseas and I should just come home every once and a while, so I would have friends to hang out with. but that's not really friendship. not the deep kind.

so after being in Waterford, the LONGEST I have ever lived here. like lived lived here, not just been home from school for the holidays or weekends. I have finally felt like I have some community... it is still young, but at least its a start.
