Hello Matt!!!
GREAT to have you here AGAIN!! I'm pretty new here myself, and am delighted to find comradely souls among the Bible Truths Forums that I can communicate (or, commune) with. I too once felt extremely lonely.....it was AWFUL! But, due to an experience that God gave me, plus the fact that the Bible says that God breathes HIS Breath (Holy!) into the nostrils of EVERY living soul, HE is ALREADY PRESENT with each and every one of us, and we couldn't get away from HIM even if we wanted to (but none of us do, do we, really?). So, with MANY thanks to God, I don't feel lonely anymore....truly, He IS "closer than hands and feet" (I don't remember the Scriptural passage that says this) !!
My prayers are for you AND FOR ALL of those who are in the military service, and I rejoice that you are SEEKING!!! Hallelujah! :D :D (Isaiah 26:3 has helped me more times than I can remember!!! PLUS this saying, "This, TOO, shall pass!" So, hang in there with the rest of us, and we all WILL "get there!!" :D ;) )
One who is also waiting for the New Jerusalem, where we will ALL dwell forever, :)

Matt:
Thanks everyone! It is very encouraging to read the genuine love in your replies!
A bit more about me, I have a lovely wife and 3 kids, 18, 17, and 11. I have 18 years of service (originally from NJ), been in Japan for almost 6 years, and I am looking forward to retiring from the Corps in 2009 (the body is getting worn out). I am a Unix System Administrator (computer geek) right now, but I want to be a teacher. My life is very busy between family, work, and online college courses, but God always finds a way to give me time to study and meditate on Him! I will do my best to share my many experiences with you all and tell about the people, churches, lifestyles etc…God has shown me while overseas. God Bless!!!!!!!

Hello Matt
Thank you for sharing what the Lord's work out training program has been for you. It helps me with mine :D ;D
I have a nephew in Japan. He is quite brainy and speaks and writes the language fluently plus six others!
Welcome back to the Forum.
Peace to you

My body too is wearing out....I'm on the sunny side of my 60's, but I find the older I get, the HAPPIER I get (i.e., I feel His Joy more and more.......that saying is soooooo true : "Come..grow older together with Me, for the BEST IS YET TO BE!!!" :D :D :D ;D 8) I KNOW this is not found in the Bible, but in some famous poet's famous poem, maybe Robert Browning..?? ). I'm VERY GLAD that God always finds ways for you to just DWELL IN HIM, and soak up HIs Sunshine.....that makes us feel better after we've done that, huh? I'm so excited about Him (I KNOW I keep saying that in a few other of my Email postings to BT Forums, but, gosh, it's TRUE!!! He is SUCH a Presence in our lives if we keep seeking Him and drawing as very near to Him as we can, mind, body, soul, and spirit!! :D :D :D ) GLORY TO GOD !!!!!!!!!!!!! He DEFINITELY has 'GOOD VIBES' !! O Hallelujah!!
I look forward to hearing more from you, Matt !! God BLESS you and each member of your family, and keep you, through your retirement from the military, and your new career as a teacher. You can TOUCH so many young people with His Presence!! :D :D I remember my Kindergarten and 2nd-grade teachers with great gladness because they were both so very kind. So was my algebra teacher in high school, as well as three of my college professors. They "Made A Memory" for me.....I feel SO RICHLY-BLESSED to have had them in my life. ;- > !!
