I don't like being alone

I've got such a jumble of thoughts in my head right now, it is hard to sort them out. They stem from the title of this post. Right now, I am alone. Luke decided last night sometime to go with most of the Washington YG to Apple River, which is some kind of park, to go hiking for the weekend. I was planning on going to Gridley today and sing, but had to work til 4. Since I have free time now, I thought I'd do a little blog reading. Well, that is what beings me to my present state of sorrow. Every post I read from Dona, Brooke, Tifani, Kellan, or anyone else at KSU, Topeka, or just Kansas brings me deeper into this pit. I thought I could go and take a nap to escape, but it turns out I can't even settle down enough to sleep. I can't remember anyone or anything in my life that I have ever missed so badly. There it is, I've said it. I am homesick more than I ever could have imagined. And to add insult to injury, I have officially shed tears into my pillow (during the previously mentioned, unsuccesful nap attempt). This has not been an encouraging way to spend a beutiful Saturday afternoon, but I had to get this stuff off my chest. However, I think of Romans 8:18: For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
