Welcome / About You! / Down but not out

I am trying to figure out where I stand with GOD at this point in my life. I had finished 2 years at college, when I decided to join the ARMY and serve my country that I love.
After a little more than a month into Infantry school, I recieved a call from my mother and father. I knew something must have been really wrong because you just don't get phone calls in boot camp. My father had been diagnosed with Pancriatic Cancer, which is always terminal. I was able to get honorable discharged and was able to spend the next 5 or so months with my father before he passed away on April 10th.
I know I have had many friends and strangers praying for me and my father, and I'm now living with some friends back at my college town. I have had always believed in GOD where sometimes I thought I didn't when in Highschool. And well now, I still feel I am missing something. I have started to go to church with a friend well into christianity and the christain house on campus, where i enjoy singing in worship.
I suppose this post is to ask for prayer or a word or two of advice for someone feeling a little lost in life. I've always been a tough person, but this a wound where I have never felt its match. At 21 I miss my father and his guidance a lot, and just need some help.
Thank you,
Richie
