I'm not sure if you all know how much of an encouragement this thread is to people!  I have gotten countless PMs and IMs (and some phone calls) that this thread has really been encouraging them.  Some have shared how they thought nobody cared, or how down and out they were, and to see this come up was like their ray of sunshine!  Even if they weren't being encouraged personally, they were overjoyed to see us encouraging each other.  I woke up  yesterday morning and I kept going to scriptures about encouraging and I just noticed how much in the body of Christ we fail to do so.  Friendships are coming back together; broken hearts are being mended; Sorrow is turning into joy!  YOU JUST DON'T KNOW.....

Right on...

Nakia!! You are great Woman of God.You look like and remind me of one of my favorite cousins. I know that if I ever want to act crazy or silly just to let out some stress, you are the go to person. I can count on you for that.  :D  I pray that God blesses all that you put your hands to that uplifts Him. Im proud of you. Keep on allowing God to use you. You be a great example to them young ladies and men that He has entrusted you with Woman of God. You are right now. Just continue walk in it. You mentor them and pour into them cause to them you are a Hero and a champion. Maybe not all of them but you are more important than you think. You do matter, and you are the world to someone. Dont ever beat yourself up or allow the inner-me to tell you otherwise. You go forth, and press towards the mark, for the prize is Jesus Christ. You have purpose, destiny and the endorsement of God himself. Continue to be an overcomer and a warrior.

3rd!

PS Dont ever be afraid to ask me any questions. I got you!!

This is one of the greatest threads since I've been a part of LGM.

And when I finish cookin, I'll be back with some encouragements for others.

But VT, you may want to start this up in a couple of other rooms... just a thought!

I've been in the practice/music theory rooms over the past couple of days studying and they seem quite supportive to one another.  But you never know..... there might be some folk that need encouragin' cross the road!

Spread the Love ;D

I've got a few.... but I'm going to start off with my

Step Brother:

Bro. Wayne Webb:

Bro. Wayne, ever since you graced the site, your sincerity, your openess has amazed me!  I want to continously encourage you, especially in an atmosphere you may not yet feel totally comfortable in

.... You need to do you!

I love you, and because I believe the Lord has joined us together at the hip .... I want others to take the opportunity to take the STEP in knowing you better.  You've been an inspiration to me, just by sharing your family, your business, and other concerns and I'm proud to call you my brother!

 I call you a Step Brother, because we must break down the walls of indifference and STEP UP to being the united Body of Christ God has called us to be! 

I love you madly! 

Your Sis, praize!

Thank you my Sister
I have been truly blessed by stumbling upon this site.
I count you as my Brothers and Sisters in Christ and thank Him for this community of so many believers.
Thank you all for your kindness and for the things I have learned and will learn from you all.
There is a sweet spirit here.

Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. 1 John 3:2

Thank you Sister Praise
I count you as my Sister in Christ
and as a Mother because of your wisdom and sound advice.

Now...
Don't go gettin' the "big head" :D :D :D ;D ;D ;)


Moi??? Bro. Wayne  ::)  It cain't too much bigger(LOL)


Now I hate to double this up but it is through both these young men that I've been THRUST  into my next level.

My Salvation.........

BRO. Herman:

I can't get it out of my head.... the melody, the lyrics ... it is so right now, and a song that will GO AROUND THE WORLD!  Obviously, we didn't know anything about the Encouragement thread on Sunday!  But when I woke, and tuned into my your post and then to your website, it was a blessing you'd not believe.

  I played it continuously throughout the day, and just allowed the Lord to minister to me, not only about My Salvation, but the gifts and talents he's given me.  Thank you so much!


Bro. Iamworship:

When you started the thread about the Worship Melody not even 2 days after, I began to add a line to the song.  As I was typing, the Lord reminded me that He'd already given me a similar song about a year or so ago.  What He said to me, will remain between He and I, but I just want you to know that if, for no other reason, God used you for me that night!  And the lyrics are superb!   

So I said all that to say this:

These 2 young men, unbeknownst to one another have encouraged me, to be yet again faithful to other aspects of my ministry through Him, that I've so neglected.

We truly serve an awesome God!

To the both of you,  ironically, in differently distinct and unique ways you have this ability to be transparent, before God and man...

Now I encourage you both to Go higher and deeper ..... in Him...No limits... no boundaries!

Thank you both! :D :'( ;D

Sometimes I have days when I wonder if God still finds me of use to Him. Much of my time is spent dealing with me and my issue's. Yet, God still allows me to bless His people. And, He sends me people like you to remind me that though I am still being washed daily, He still thinks I'm worthy to be a blessing to the people of God. Thank you for the reminder and the words of encouragment.

It just humbles me even more because He could have chose anyone but He thought to use me!

not to offend the folks who dont like words used out of context but God is simply Off The Chain!!

WOW..............Know that I will be sharing all of these comments at tomorrow night's rehearsal.  And I truly thank you...that "means the world to me".

I was kinda sad that the song did nothing at all for the person who inspired it, but this makes up for it big time.  Thanks a lot!

Yet, a babe in Christ Bro. Herman, but believe me one day the light shall shine......

It's almost been 1 month since we recited the sinner's prayer together, and in that time, I have seen much growth in our brother.

Life is happening to and for him, not just adult life, but life in Christ..... and it is a process and an adjustment.

Only God can fit all the pieces of the puzzle together for him, but we must continue to pray and encourage him in his daily walk with Jesus

Often times we, who've been in this walk for a while still don't get it!

As we continue to lift him up, he'll understand better .... by and by :)

Official Decision from your FRIENDLY Senior Moderator


I've thought about this today, and I told VT that I would post my decision within this thread.

I'm going to say let's just keep this one thread.

Encouragement is a good idea, but we do not wish to flood the board with multiple threads that contain the same content. If we allow it, where do we draw a line. In other words If I allow it today, tomorrow a disgruntle LGM Member may feel his/her thread is worthy of being multiplied. This particualr thread would be their leverage.

This was a hard decision, but it comes with the territory...I'm looking at the big picture. So I encourage you to continue on, for the truth of the matter is those who want to participate in this thread ARE participating in this thread.

Wouldn't it be nice if this thread out does the 10,000 post thread. Just a thought

Be encouraged.  ;D

Big UPS to the Maya Angelou of LGM: nessalynn77.

Your words are always comforting and kind (with your sarcasm sneaking in from time to time).....You have done nothing but been an encourager and a positive aspect in my life. Appreciate you and congratulations on your elevation to moderator :)
