Well where do I start... I have felt a little outside of my skin for the last several months. I didn't know what is was, but I have not felt like myself for the last few months. I was boarder line depressed with no explanation. It all started right after I returned from the Amazon in September. I am been thinking and praying about it, and I think I am starting to figure out what it has been. I believe I was going complacent for Dallas, and my life there. I think that God might have been doing this so that when I arrived in Houston I would really be here. Mentally I mean. I continue to here the voice of Jim Elliot (and a good friend Ryan) "Where ever you are, Be all there!" I am going to try and live my life that way. I am in Houston now, and I want to be all here! This weekend will be my first weekend in Houston as a resident. I am going to start the weekend off spending the night at Ashley's house with Ella Faith. Saturday Ashley and Chris are coming home from their cruise, and Sunday I will be going to Clear Creek Community Church for the very first time!
I say all of this to tell you all that I am actually starting to get my Joy back. I have felt more like myself this week than I have in a long time. God's Grace has been so awesome to me this week! Now as I start preparing to go to the Amazon again... I can only imagine what God has in store fro me. He always seems to Rock my life when I get on that boat!
PS- I still do not have all of my money for my February trip... So if you want to help me out go to www.amazonoutreach.org and click on the "Donate" button. Then when you donate put "Alisha Altman Feb 17th" in the memo line. Please do not get me anything for Christmas... I would much rather you help me go to the Amazon. It will last a lot longer than anything you could buy!!!
Proud of you....and glad that you're finally feeling happy again!! :) Now if only we could get our life in Tulsa straightened out..... ;) Love you.
