Yeahhhh, that song always gets me. It was written to, so...:)
On another note...
My best friend is involved with a nonprofit group, and I told her I'd spread the word about their Christmas project. [A non-Adamah group, though she's part of that too, and I'm considering this an Adamah project now.] Guys, if you want to get involved, that would be wonderful. Not asking you for money if you don't feel led to give, just for publicity...

So I know everyone is strapped for cash because the holidays are coming... but I was wondering if you would consider what I'm about to tell you...
Trash Mountain [the group I've been working/volunteering with all semester] has taken on the responsibility of making Christmas for students of the school AFE in Houndras... a school helping Children living in a trash dump community [this means that often the children live, work and possibly die within trash...AFE and Trash Mountain are trying to change that]. It takes only $20 to make Christmas for a child there... this covers clothes [shirt, shoes...], food, and a toy. Anything that anyone can give is greatly appreciated and needed at this point... you can have the name of the child you personally helped to give Christmas to when everything is taken care of. For those who adopt a child completely, there will be a stocking with the child's name decorated on it, as a reminder. There is something beautiful about knowing the name of a child you can pray for, care for, and make Christmas for. We are getting the chance to love children who are in desperate need of it.
So I know this is a bad time of year and I understand if helping isn't possible... but every little bit counts.
Her message goes on to give her email and cell number, which I have but didn't want to post online...if you want to talk to her, you can always PM me and I'll give you the info. Of course, I'm sending the full message to the fb Adamah group, so many of you will get it that way.
I thought you guys would appreciate this:
Today one of the girls I worked with at camp over the summer called me and exclaimed, "Salanna! I just wanted to call you and tell you how proud I am of you that you're not cutting anymore."
Me: Um... Thanks?
There's a long, awkward silence, until finally she explains that it's TWLOHA day. Which I was unaware of, so I was just thinking "It's great that you're proud of me, but I have no idea where this is coming from, and wow."
Then she went on to say that she loves me, and wants to make plans for Christmas break...

1st song [which i'd never heard]: Downhere - A Better Way From the album Wide Eyed and Mystified
I'm not alone, I really believe
You never go, You never leave
Here and now, You always stay
“I love you” could not be said a better way
It's everything You've promised
There's no greater love than this
From prophets until today
A man laying down His life for His friends
Your sacrifice has spoken, You gave everything
And “I love you” could not be said
A better way
I am forgiven, I clearly see
It's why You came to do all you did for me
Trading earth with heaven, You took my place
“I love you” could not be said
A better way
Because You redeem, I know what's to come
Everything I could lose here, You've already won
So You have my surrender, with passion obey
“I love you” could not be said
A better way
2nd song: "Your Love" rush of fools
I'm so far away
From the only place I know I should be
Find me, take me
[Chorus:]
Come like the day, come chase away this darkness
I've been living here so long and I give up
Come wash away everything I've built between us
And I will sing unending songs of Your love
I cannot find rest
I can't catch my breath from running away
So stop me and take me
[Chorus]
Your love has stolen my heart, Your love has set me apart
Your love is life in my veins and all my mistakes fade away
So find me and stop me, and take me, and save me
YEESH. >< im scared for it to change to the next song lmao

Then wear the gold hat, if that will move her;
If you can bounce high, bounce for her too,
Till she cry "Lover, gold-hatted, high-bouncing lover,
I must have you!"

Hm I should use this thread more. Ive never been one to use the threads much I usually stick to chat but now more than ever chat seems to be doing me more harm than it is good. Sometimes I get frustrated with this site because I want to talk to people who can relate to me but also can direct me to God and his hope when I seem to lose focus. I forget about this thread but I think Im going to try and use first before I run into chat and make myself worse when Im already down.
Ive been having a hard time and have slipped into a couple of times after not slipping or even thinking about SH for two years. I need to start over and find friendships and people I can trust to be there for me and though this is surprising even to me I think God lead me straight to this thread tonight. Ive been holding so much in for the last couple of months and its starting to effect me in ways I thought Id never have to deal with again.
Anyway I know this is kinda of a long and a bit of a rambling post and I guess what Im trying to get as is for those of you who dont know me my name is Alyse and I hope I can get to know all of you and find some people as my friend would say, "do life with" (at least the virtual life :])
