Title: ***THE ENCOURAGEMENT THREAD***
Post by: vtguy84 on June 21, 2006, 10:55:24 AM
So yes it's that time again to come up with a new idea:

This is the encouragement thread.  We will do exactly what it says.....ENCOURAGE.  Out of a lot of the threads we've had, we don't do a lot of encouragement.  I've noticed that when people are encouraged, it gives them more strength to run on and do what God has called them into.  I also get excited when people are encouraging others. 

Some Rules:

1) Each encouragement must be a separate post (Can't encourage more than one person in one post)

2) If you are encouraged, you may reply with a thank you and a small speech

3) Do NOT ask people to encourage you....seems kind of desperate.  We will get to you ;)

4) You may encourage AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE (as a matter of fact, it's encouraged ;D )


Everyone likes it when they are noticed.....it does something to their day when they know they are thought highly of

Now......LET'S GET TO ENCOURAGING ;D ;D ;D

This is my kind of thread!   

Okay, the first one that comes to mind is Bro. C.J.  I just want to say that we are all proud of the strides you've made in your life, and in your walk with Christ.  Keep your head up and keep striving, I know everything is not going your way right now, but if you endure, God will not let you down.

From knowing you here on LGM, I have found you to be a genuine and good-hearted person.  I appreciate your willingness to share the things that you go through, you never know who else is reading and being helped by your testimonies.

God bless you!

To Sj aka Grammer Whiz

From a personal standtpoint I want to say" you are a cool cat" i opened up my private life to youand i appreciate you taking the time to provide constructive criticism. I really hope that we can grow past the internet and build a good friendship. My music is my passion and I was impressed that you took my request seriously and helped me to improve my craft for God's glory. believe me when I say check the "thank you's," you will be in there.

My prayer is that God give you wisdom to find new ways to teach the young men and women who will lead this nation in the future, about Christ sa well as academics.

be encouraged Bro!

Herman Dickey, AKA Peach,

Okay, I know I am one friend who almost NEVER calls or keeps in touch, but I want you to know that you are always in my thoughts and prayers (I'm really bad about calling, ask my mom).  Sometimes a series of events in someone's life makes us all step back and say "Whoa, how much more can he take?"  But I am certain that the God we serve doesn't make any mistakes and that in his "panoramic view" of things, this small snapshot makes a lot more sense.

"Being confident of this very thing, that he who has begun a good work in you shall perform it until the day of Jesus Christ" Philippians 1:6

My words are few because I know that I can't know exactly how you feel.  But I do care, and I am praying, and I hope that you will feel what my words can't fully convey.

VT, I encourage you to allow God to continue using you in the many arenas he has designated you to be a blessing. LGM is just one of those arenas.  ;D

Remember these things:

Be SINGLE-MINDED in your Worship. Focus on God not on impressing man.
Be SET-APART.  You have been sancitified and are called to be holy.
Be STILL - so that you will know who God is. Sometimes you got to get off the computer and listen to God.
Be an example of a Christian SOLD-OUT to the presence of God.
Be a SERVANT of God.

In other words, Be all that you can be unto the glory of God...it's already in you.

Post by: vtguy84 on June 21, 2006, 11:28:36 AM
SisterT, you beat me to the encouraging!

Anyways, I want to really thank you for being my online mom and know that I have listened to everything you've said and not only applied it to LGM but in my life!  I thanks for the encouragement that you've provided as well as the open rebukes ;) for they were all taken in and accepted.  In spite of the issues that I've dealt with, you have taken me in as a son and it is something I don't take lightly; I even tell my friends about you. 

Continue to be that momma to others in the LGM family as well as in real life (well LGM is real....you know what I mean)  I love you and appreciate you ;D

Now, can I go out to play¿ :D :D

This is TOO cool!  ;D

My encouragement is for Nakia. Nakia girl I am amazed at the heart you have for youth ministry and for the youth at your church. They are VERY blessed and fortunate to have someone like you working with them. I encourage you to keep your head up, and know that though the weopon may form against you, it WILL NOT prosper. And the youth explosion is going to be the BOMB!! I just know it! God bless you and keep the faith!!  ;D

I would also like to encourage my boy 3rd Day!!

Man words can not describe how awesome it was to "work" with you in the chatroom. There is NO WAY you can be THAT anointed and talented without God opening mega-doors for you! Keep tickling those keys, man, and when you get to be big like Kevin Bond and John Peters, I can say you played for me before!!  ;D  ;D  God bless ya man!!

And to the other cold cats that have played or sung in the chatroom, there will be encouragement threads for you guys, too!

Luv yall!

This word of encouragement goes out to Sis Nakia.  Thank you so much for agreeing to come and be apart of the Juneteenth celebration in White Plains, New York.  Your willingness to participate and do a solo meant a lot to me.  And I just want to say that things may not always go your way but remember, you are example and everything you do...someone else is watching you and aspiring to be like you.  You are a beautiful young woman and God will soon bless you with your hearts desire.  Continue to let God use you!

Bless you

Divine!

I would like to encourage CJ. I've read about your challenges with your church, your job, etc. I encourage you take each challenge and see it for what it is. When working through trying times you gain wisdom, knowledge, and strenghth. For any trying situation you succeed in prepares you for the next. And there will always be trials. May God lead and guide you through anything that troubles you. May he l continue to give you the patience, wisdom, & knowledge needed in life. God be with ya Cj in all that you do.... :)

I would like to encourage VT

When I first started to read your posts... The first thing that popped into my mind was "Who does this dude think he is"... ;D But over the course of a few months you have grown into being a good friend with a great heart... I enjoy our conversations on and off line... You are a wonderful inspiration... I admir your ability to bounce back from any and all adversities all the while still encouraging others... Although your sarcasim gets on people's nerves sometimes... It is how God made you in order to accomplish what God has for you to accomplish... Love you like a lil Brother...  ;) ;) ;)

Nakia, you are definitely the typical New Yorker, AT TI TUDE!! :D :D and I LOVE IT!  Thanks for being one of the few people that I could trust from the internet to talk to offline.....always had a big fear with online people, but you are just madd cool.  Continue to do the things God has called you to do (especially with that youth explosion--wish I could be there!) You are a STRONG WOMAN OF GOD and many will fear you for it (ask SisterT ;) ) but you continue doing what you've been called to do!  I love you big sis.

I would like to offer a special word of encouragement to Herman who I affectionately call Dr. Peach...

This is the day and this the hour of your true miracle.  I appreciate you sharing your life with us here on LGM.  You share your successes and failures as well as your triumphs.  You continue to make yourself transparent and where others are afraid to speak or choose not to speak about their problems and thier situation..... you willing open yourself up to the ridicule criticism and  the comments of others.  Because you are honest and you share...MANY are blessed.  I want to say that God has a great work for you to do... you were annointed from the day you were born....walk in it...let go and get over the past....so you may be "catepolted" into your Divine Destiny!  You are a blessing as well as a mess here on LGM and I appreciate your life and respect your ministry.

Be Richly Blessed
Divine

I would also like to encourage Dre2004!

When I first came to LGM, I never talked to people other than to respond to posts on the message boards or respond when they talked to me. But you were one of the only ones to IM me and encourage me and make me feel very welcome here! That was like 2 years ago!! Your personality is just really bright and you are a true man of God and I thank you for YOUR encouragement!! Many times I have felt like I was the one doing all the encouraging and never getting encouragement in return, but I thank you for always having something to say that got me through my day!! May God bless you richly and prosper you (I know He will!!). ;D

The title of "Encourager" should easily be bestowed upon you. Please, don't ever change being who you are: The Bear. You are a great blessing not only to LGM but to me & every one of us: SisterT, DivaT, MadeaT, ChefT, CockyT, MomaT, ComedianT, JudgeT, KuntreeT, QueentT, LadyT, and any other T I forgot.

As the song goes, "How can I say Thank You". When you asked me to assist you, I didn't think you were serious, but through our conversations, I'm glad that you were. God has given you an awesome gift, and I pray that He pours into you daily; minute by minute, hour by hour.


I encourage you to continue to seek God in all that you do. Continue your desire to be a broken and willing vessel for our Lord. I'm believing God that one day, our paths WILL cross in real life, as well, bro. When your project drops, I KNOW that GOD will be pleased.


Again, my brother, thank you.  :D

Okay, I think I can do 500 of these by myself!

Okay this one is to a person so beautiful and talented that we had to give her a name for each of the many hats she wears.  SisterT, when I first met you through EarnestandRoline.com, I never imagined what a wonderful person I was about to have the pleasure of knowing.  Since then, I've found you to be such an example of a true woman of God. 

I appreciate your candor, and your ability to forgive and forget, and even to ask forgiveness, these are the marks of a true leader.  I also appreciate your sense of fairness and impartiality (even though we know who your favorite is  ;)).  Whenever I see your name in a thread, I know I'm going to be blessed with a good laugh to make my day, some wise counsel, or something else that is worth reading. 

Thanks for being such an approachable, loving, down-to-earth, saint of God.

I love you much,

Vanessa

Wow Ness, coming from you that certainly means a lot to me!   There is truly a wonderful Spirit resonating through this thread.   It's a well welcomed change of pace and very much needed.

At this time, however, I'd just to encourage the LGM Family as a whole, Owners, Moderators, Contributors Frequent and infrequent to continue in the vein of unity, by engaging, embracing and encouraging one another in the true fashion of Christian Love..... something which is so evident in this thread.

Sometimes we only have a word of encouragement to offer our fellow family members...... but sometimes that's all it takes... just one word of encouragement!

Big Up's to VT!   This is a winner here sir!

God bless you yall. :-*

I would like to encourage VTGuy. When I first came to LGM I didnt know how to take your sarcasm or realness... lol... But I have gotten used to you, and I love your spirit,  and realness... I want to lift you up in the highest because you are a real cool person. Virginia is a big state and the odds of us bumping into eachother would be slim to none... Thank the Lord. Naw, but do you. I like your style, don't ever change. You are gonna shine. Thanks for being who you are. We need more like you.

I'm glad I caught this before I headed out to church.....thank you so much BXalted!  This really meant a lot to me, same with you Praize.  You all have definitely made me want to make sure i contact you all whenever I'm anywhere near where you all live.  I have grown to have a very soft spot for certain members of LGM and thank you for accepting me during these rough times.

As a small prayer request, I ask that all lift up the Hall household in prayer.  My brother was in a car accident a few weeks ago and now my parents were served papers saying the women he hit are suffering from pain and mental anguish.....when there was no scratch on the car and the ambulance offered assistance and said everything was cool...hit me up offline if you want to discuss it more.

I love you all dearly from the bottom of my heart :)  You all have been better friends than some of the ones I see everyday in my face who call me their 'friend'  Know that!

I want to encourage you. I hold a lot of respect for you as well. You probably like, who in the world is B_XALTED...lol. I will tell you like my mommy tells me, when I think that no one is watching me, that is the exact time when someone is watching.

I always read your threads and you have a real cool spriit. You have been through some things but you are still here, and you are allowing your light to shine. I absolutely adore your honesty and just plain old REALISTIC approach to things.

Please dont ever change for anyone. Reading your testimonies lifts me up... Seeing someone go through similar things as me, and not afraid to let people know and not afraid to let people see the blessings that you got in return... You have encouraged me through how you have handled things...
And now I want to lift you up in encouragement...

As a mentor and aspiring teacher, I appreciate your wisdom and the sacrifices you have made for young people and the time you take out to be an educator. Continue to be the man God has called you to be, and I'm sure i will continue to be inspired. Thank you, SJON! ;D

Man, you have NO idea what you done did with this (and yes, I meant to say it like that). I thank you, Loopy; I am completely humbled by this, man of God.



Just know that the world is waiting for another strong, God-fearing, Black man to come into the ranks and help educate the nation's children. Keep yo head up, man! Again, I thank you and give all praise, glory and honor to God.

I would like to send out some encouragement to the owners, Bro 4HisGlory and Sis Redd.

LGM is going to go through some more changes, but it will be one of the greatest tools for feeding gospel musicians in the world. that is why it was constantly attacked.

Rest when you can, brother and sister . . . but you are doing a great work.

Sis Redd, the Words GOD has given you to give me have launched me into another level of minsitry. GOD knew it was what I needed to hear, and when I needed to hear it.

Blessings on the two of you and your home!

DOUBLES22

Dude..............you are like the brother I never had.  The words of wisdom, the advice, the life lessons........what can I say?  Had it not been for LGM we probably never would have met, so thank God for LGM and YOU........through you I have laughed more than the law allows (and almost got caught laughing at work when I KNEW I should've been working instead of reading your posts on LGM). 

But the humor is always clean and fun.  Since I actually got to know you......I want to teach the choir to do the laffy taffy and drop air conditioners out of windows on da regular.

Stay up!

NJ "The Bishop" Anderson (Nakia Jr.)

Thanks for being the epitome of a friend and brother naturally and in Christ.  Throughout some of the lowest and roughest days in the "Days of My Life" saga, you have been a strong anchor.  You have prayed for me, watched the food network with me and LadyWiz (even though I still say you can NOT outcook Emerill, but opinions vary), and the most important thing to me is that you drove all the way from Colombia, SC to be with the Disciples in Worship  :D for the all-original concert....and still remember 90% of my original songs that you haven't heard since February.

The problems and cares of life seem easier to handle with strong Christian people by your side.  You, LadyWiz, and Doubles have proven to be just that and I will always have pleasant memories of the fun times, the sad ones, and the times when I have to tune up and get my "preach" on.....but I'll leave that alone - in the key of Bb!

Peace and peaches.

WOW!  I already have a blood sister....but you kinda take the cake.  LadyWiz is already the current reigning Anna Mae Bullock so I gotta come up with another name for you.  But all of the out-of-town bookings you are getting for Complete Change, and your willingness to come to Memphis to share in the debut are phenomenal.  The support you give me when I am ready to just "throw it all in" is impeccable.  Most people get hung up on....because if I say I'm through, I'm through (other than with the church that I fail to shake loose...but in God's time......i digress).

You have been an uplifter and motivator to me.......and I really appreciate you as the song says "because of who you are".

Love ya, HD & CC

FIRST LADY ROLINE "MADEA" THOMAS (SISTER T):

If my memory serves me correctly, you and I are just about the oldest of the LGM crew still around (give or take a handful) and your words of wisdom are very much appreciated.  I love you because you love cooking (don't think this cancels out the cooking contest....the devil is a liar)!  Driving to Memphis at the spur-of-the-moment just to support me in something I was trying to do for God......WOW is all I can say!

Because we are trying to keep this thread positive, I won't "roll out" on you for not FedEx'ing my fried chicken that I've been asking for almost 7 years now......but if we ever do a "roll out" thread.....just know that I'm gonna "roll out" on Roline!  I love you!

DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I have never met a more selfLESS musician in all my life!  From the first time we met during the LGM event in Memphis.....you kept showing me the same chords in Eb until I finally got them...........and that took a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooong time!  When I was writing He Reigns, and asking you musical questions of how to make certain chords sound better or stand out, you were right there (thank God for Yahoo IM).

Then, you came to Memphis on your last just to be there to support me and played for our church choir when the musician did his usual "no show".  Dude, that makes you a giant in my eyes.

You just don't know how bad I really want to feature you on a song or two on the CD!  You just don't know!  But thanks for being you.....and be encouraged!  Your reward in Heaven is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo great.  HEY!  Maybe you can play "Great Things" for the choir in Heaven?  Hmmmmm.....wonder if they still need some material!  Better get crackin'!

First giving honor to God who is truly the head of my life.  To the Pastor, Officers, Members, and Visiting Friends...........

To start off, I am asking the saints to pray for me becaue I am mad at Sister Nessa for beating me to the punch!

NOW...........with that being said, thank you Nessa for being "just Nessa"........the epitome of the true COGIC female!  Your positivity and support that you have planted into my life bears fruit even on the rainiest day.  And no matter how down I get about my car situation, sometimes I have found myself saying "what would Nessa tell you if she saw you crying and moping like this"..........and I answer myself saying "she'd probably tune up in C#, let you have it, and leave out in a dance"!

But I absolutely love that about you.  I have never seen you before, but in my eyes you are simply beautiful.....and beautifully simple.  Characteristics that are hard to come by in most women (even COGIC ones....but again, I digress).

It's because of you that I have a newfound love for digressing.   So your new name is "Nessa the Digressa".....and rightfully so!

Even though it is public knowledge that you and I do not agree on most things.......I figured this would be a good time to let you know that all the times when I get mad at you it is NOT because of what you said.....at times, the truth can hurt.  You have made me see some things about Herman that the mirror didn't even reveal, and for that I am grateful.

I pray that the bitterness will soon cease and that we both will be all right.  For me, this is a start - although I still have a ways to go.  But I applaud you for being a family man (I refuse to say "guy" for obvious reasons), and for being so knowledgeable in the scriptures.

Thanks for always referring us back to the Word of God.  It really does have the solution for every single thing we go through, but as HUMAN Christians.....we tend to forget that from time to time.

I still hate you think you look better than me....but God (and a good scanner or digital camera) is the Revealer of all truth.  Thanks for being a man who is not ashamed to still wear his S-curl so the world will see the "S" and recoginize it as "saved, sanctified, and sometimes too silly for his own good!"

Dude!!!! That's what I've been trying to do all along.  Praise God!! 

Though my sarcasm and timing can be off my intentions are never to hurt or offend.  I've always been trying to get you to overlook the petty issues.  The whole ribbing you about peach......  what should you care what "I" think about that.  The point was to get you to roll with it and move past it.  Life is too short to get all upset at the little things when we have MUCH more important things to do in this world.

I must appologise if I did offend by giving it to you straight, and not sugar coated.  But look at it this way, I would rather have someone tell the truth to my face than to talk dirt about me behind my back.  In the end which person can you honestly trust?

Thank you for your statement and forgive my trespasses...

LAST BUT NOT LEAST

TO PROFESSOR GM HALL (AKA VT GUY)


OH MY JESUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love the way you and I are on the right foot today....on the wrong foot tomorrow........on both feet sometimes in the same day........but never losing balance and falling down all together.  That's cool.

Dude, we have had our fights, arguments, and disagreements beyond measure.  But all in all I really admire you.  Even in the midst of being mad at me, when you heard about the wreck, you ran to the rescue to see if your boy was all right......I knew then that my perception may have been a little off.  I apologized then, as I do now.

At first, I was like "the premiere Choir Director of LGM" and then you came.......boy was I furious at first.  But there is enough room in God's kingdom to share, which is why I passed the torch to you!

Stay encouraged, though.  Few people know the headache we face as Directors.  And few will ever truly understand.  I felt your pain about thinking that soon they will write songs where we are not needed.....and i really wasn't playing when I advised you to be like me......and just write your own.

Thanks for the post on "what is your favorite song to direct".........dude you woke something up in me that had fallen asleep being the director of the funeral parlor mass choir!!!!!!!!!!  I was able to reflect on how I used to feel during and after my favorite song....and no matter how out-of-breath I was, if they started it up again I was down for whatever!

Thanks for that.  That was a big part of what helped to birth Complete Change, little as you know!   Thanks for the tough love, the fussing, the fights, the disagreements.........through it all, we remain THE BEST TWO CHOIR DIRECTORS ON LGM and brothers in Christ, which is what counts in the end.

Bless you also for doing this much-needed thing for the people of God!

I would like to take this opportunity to encourage Mister SOOOOUUUULLLLL..... Ahem Sorry

BBoy....

Man you come with the WORD and ALWAYS at the right time... even if its a rebuke... But because it is the truth we either have to accept it or leave it alone... Your posts have always opened my mind to take in and ponder on your out look of things... I know that you are a powerful and respected man of God... I want to encourage you to continue to preach and teach the word... Even when you feel like its not worth it... Or that you are just wasting your time with people who don't listen... But they are listening and they are hearing... They are just NOT applying it to their lives... In one of the parables Jesus taught some of the word fell in thorns and thistles.... (I think that's right)... But N E Way... You know what I mean... Continue to feed his sheep... and I look forward to seeing you on TBN & the WORD Network & on regular TV and not at 4 in da morning while everyone is in they 5th dream and you gotta set the VCR to record cause you keep falling asleep because you stayed up all night studying......ROTFLMBO!!!!!

Hey then you will finally be able to get rid of the activator.... :D :D :D :D
Just let your SOOOOUUUUL GLOOOOOOOOW!!!!!

Love you Like a Big Brother...

God Bless

I have seen your posts and I admire the things that you say and the way you are.  I believe you to be an awesome woman of God and I want to say that God has not forgotten you.  For all the things that you do, (without showboating just being faithful) things that no one knows just to make things better for others...God sees, He knows, and He cares.  And you are next in line for the blessing.

Man of God I want to encourage you today because of how you encouraged another.  There is a song that goes " Your my brother your my sister come take me by the hand, together we will work until He comes...theres no foe that can defeat us, were walking side by side.  And as long as there is love, we will stand."  There is nothing we can't do Together.  You were able to articulate to Itsapeachworld, what I really needed to say to everyone here on this site and that is from the many many posts submitted here I am a changed woman today, and I thank you.  Bless you DrDre and thank God for your life.

Your words to someone else encouraged me as well.  And because I didnt see a post for you I wanted to return the favor.  If your name is in anyway indicative of your talent then I have mad respect for you because my son tried to teach me something from one of the Fruitloops (Beat making CD's and you would have thought) I was in Special Ed.  God Bless you and keep doing what you are doing and God will use you.

Thank you for all the encouragement you have given me... I knew that God had sent you my way because you saw things in me that no one else could see or even understand... Especially when you were telling me about my passion for the youth... and what tripped me out was I never told you that... So I know it was God... You are and excellent youth leader and motivator... I see that gifting in you... You as well as I have that gift to reach the youth... And the ability to pick them up when they fall and encourage them... Continue to be the Man that God has called you to be... and training up them children....

P.S. I got a special brew for the Willy Way Back.... I'll send it to you COD!!!!! :D :D :D :D

Love you like a play uncle....

God Bless you Divine for those kind words of encouragement. I KNOW that GOD is doing great things in you life and will continue to do so. And to your son, tell him to keep on producing those soundtracks with his fruityloops program and I hope that he continue to grow to be a GREAT producer. You hit it right on the head with my screen name, I'm into song production and I'm a drummer/keyboardist. God bless you... :)

Nakia you KNOW I love you and I am constantly praying and cheering you on from down here in Florida!! We share the same passion for young people and that's why I saw it in you!! You are truly a great woman of God, and just an all around COOL person to talk to!!! You encourage me in ways that you cannot imagine, and I thank GOD for having met a friend like you here on LGM!!! Our conversations on and offline, whether we are encouraging each other, or clowining on each other always leave me feeling brighter!!! I love you SOOOOO much!!!

NESSALYNN.......


First giving honor to God who is truly the head of my life.  To the Pastor, Officers, Members, and Visiting Friends...........

To start off, I am asking the saints to pray for me becaue I am mad at Sister Nessa for beating me to the punch!

NOW...........with that being said, thank you Nessa for being "just Nessa"........the epitome of the true COGIC female!  Your positivity and support that you have planted into my life bears fruit even on the rainiest day.  And no matter how down I get about my car situation, sometimes I have found myself saying "what would Nessa tell you if she saw you crying and moping like this"..........and I answer myself saying "she'd probably tune up in C#, let you have it, and leave out in a dance"!

But I absolutely love that about you.  I have never seen you before, but in my eyes you are simply beautiful.....and beautifully simple.  Characteristics that are hard to come by in most women (even COGIC ones....but again, I digress).

It's because of you that I have a newfound love for digressing.   So your new name is "Nessa the Digressa".....and rightfully so!

  Man, Peach!  You been busy encouragin' folks.  Thanks Herman, this means a lot.  I know I have some friends in Memphis (can't forget Darryl and Redd) when I come to get my "convocate" on! (GW I'm sorry in advance)  Hopefully, I'll see you sooner than that if I can get to the "get down" in July. 

 :D :D :D  Digressa  :D :D :D  You got jokes!

You are so COOL!  I like that even when we had little differences, we've always been cool wit' it.  You are very talented, and anointed, but you haven't let it go to your head.  I want to encourage you to continue to strive to be all that God is calling you to be.  You know, you're one of those people that it just feels like I grew up with you or something.  I don't know how to describe it, but it's like from day one you were just cool to talk to.  (GW help me rearrange that and get the preposition off of the end - that's a grammatical weakness for me)  Anyway, I have a lot of love for you, stay encouraged, and keep sangin' cuz you almost had me shoutin' at work the other day.

Love ya,

Ness

You'll never really know how much you inspire me, because I can't put it into words!! When you first came to LGM, I "got" your sarcastic side, because I can sometimes be the same way (even though you were much more intense with it online than I was) ;D
And I remember butting heads with you on LGM so much that many others would try to referee between our posts!! It was all in fun though!! But in just a few short months, you have become a true friend and brother, and I love you for that! I admire you because in spite of the adversities you have faced, whether it be with school, or family, you have never stopped being you, and have persevered, and that's inspiring in and of itself, especially to see a young black man doing the right thing!! Your talent, creativity, and your spirit have inspired us all!

And then to top it all off, you go and start a thread like this!!!! VT I thank GOD for placing you in my life! Love ya bro! ;D ;D

Girl Webster has not yet even found the words to describe how much you have encouraged me over the years!! Just reading your posts in and of itself encourages me in ways I cannot explain! It's funny cause I feel like Ive known you all my life, too, even though we're miles apart! You are smart, MADD creative (the poems you come up with - LAWD JAYZZUSS!!!) a Bible scholar, and just an all around cool person! You are one of the people on LGM that it just brightens my day to see you online or in the chatroom!! God bless you Nessa (He already has and will continue to do so!!), and I LOVE YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!!

Thanks man for being who you are, and sharing what you've learned in your 33 years of playing!!

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.....

Post by: Divinecalling1 on June 22, 2006, 02:43:12 PM
Just a note to Everyone.... Proverbs declares  "How good is a timely word!"

Often we worry and fret about  the harsh words that we sometimes say in anger or frustration to each other.  We feel terrible about the fact that we could say things to tear those who are close to us down. 

Sometimes, however it is when words fail us  that we sin.  What words go unsaid that could build up, help or comfort.  They cost nothing and for some they mean soooo soooo much.  When we fail to speak these words we error as much as if we'd said something to offend. 

Lord we thank you for this thread because it has brought so much joy to so many people.  Thank you for forgiving the sins of words, both the things we say and the things that go unsaid.  Help us to always reflect on your special love and your unending mercy.  We thank you for the words of life on this thread and may each person that reads the ENCOURAGEMENT thread be blessed today.

Divine

To my boy the Moss-Clark that no one knows about yet.  The cousin to the nephews baby sitters niece best friend next door neighbor twice removed Uncles mother in law baby daddy of God in Christ,   LOOPY!. Doc this is the perfect thread for you because you are definetly an encourager. You have inspired me to lift my head a little and to even more be greatful to God for allowing us to cross paths. Dude sometimes I wonder if we have really known eachother  for only such a short period of time because I feel like I have always known you Man. You are a good Man of God and I am honored to know you. Your voice is just a bonus. I enjoy the Christ in you and the fellowship more. You have such a cool spirit. You make staying up half the night in front of a computer monitor in the dark with a pair of headphones on, playing the keys so much fun. Dude continue to allow God to use you not only through singing but through an upright lifestyle before Him and those around you young and old. I would love to just be somewhere in the sanctuary on the days that God just consumes you and begins to sing through you. Its during those moments where the instruments arent even neccessary cause Hes all you need. Stay humble bro you are more annointed than you actuallly realize. When you do a duet with Kim or Karen Im braggin to everybody  cause its an honor to  know you and have played for you. (Hook me up with a bootleg so my friends will beleive me  ;) )You have blessed me tremendously. May God cotinually embrace you with His love.   God makes a big fuss about you Brother!.. Know that!!!!!

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.

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!

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.

 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. Matthew 18:20

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 ;)

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

You have really encouraged me since day one of stepping on LGM.  It is so encouraging reading your Words of the day and thank you so much for helping me in my time of need.....you don't know how much that made my day.  I am striving to make enough money for the gettogether in July and you are definitely a person I want to meet when I first get there.  Continue to do what you do

This goes to sjon aka the Grammar Wiz!  I appreciate you sir for establishing the grammar wiz to help our brothers and sisters in need of increasing our literary knowledge.  I have always been chastised for my 'proper language' and it really showed me that Black people really feel like you are acting 'white' if you speak and type correctly (Imagine that!)  As far as the sjon, we had one small issue and rectified it immediately.  I appreciate you sir and it's definitely great to see Black men in the school system making a difference.  Continue doing what you do best sir.

To BishopCole,

You have reminded me so many through your post not to rely on my natural ability but to let god use you. I want to thank you for allowing god to use you to encourage me. I pray that god continues to bless you in your good times and even the bad ones. like you said, "It's not about the Music,but it's all about the Ministry".

                                                                                                       THANK YOU ;D

To my boy the Moss-Clark that no one knows about yet.  The cousin to the nephews baby sitters niece best friend next door neighbor twice removed Uncles mother in law baby daddy of God in Christ,   LOOPY!. Doc this is the perfect thread for you because you are definetly an encourager. You have inspired me to lift my head a little and to even more be greatful to God for allowing us to cross paths. Dude sometimes I wonder if we have really known eachother  for only such a short period of time because I feel like I have always known you Man. You are a good Man of God and I am honored to know you. Your voice is just a bonus. I enjoy the Christ in you and the fellowship more. You have such a cool spirit. You make staying up half the night in front of a computer monitor in the dark with a pair of headphones on, playing the keys so much fun. Dude continue to allow God to use you not only through singing but through an upright lifestyle before Him and those around you young and old. I would love to just be somewhere in the sanctuary on the days that God just consumes you and begins to sing through you. Its during those moments where the instruments arent even neccessary cause Hes all you need. Stay humble bro you are more annointed than you actuallly realize. When you do a duet with Kim or Karen Im braggin to everybody  cause its an honor to  know you and have played for you. (Hook me up with a bootleg so my friends will beleive me  ;) )You have blessed me tremendously. May God cotinually embrace you with His love.   God makes a big fuss about you Brother!.. Know that!!!!!

Nakia,

  When you are young, sometimes other young people standing up for God are more of an encouragement to you than your own family. As I previously stated about Vtguy, you also make me smile when I haven't smiled much that day. You stand up for what you believe in and Never back down. That alone encourages me to be even strongER. Much Love!!

I think I should go to bed on this high note....Thank you so much MissMusic!  That was so on time because right now I'm being attacked by everything you just said....people have challenged my walk with God, I've been put on academic suspension due to issues with the school, and my character has been heavily attacked.  WOW you hit it right on the head....I love you and appreciate you for this....you just don't know!

To one of the first LGMmers that I talked to on the phone...
Sweet young lady with a heart for youth ministry.

I pray the Lord continues blessing you in the Kingdom work that he is leading and placing you to do in this last and evil time.  There is an attack on the body of Christ, but there is one on young people most def, and for you to stand between the works of Satan and young people is honorable and calls for some praying and consecration.

Be encouraged and know that He that loses his life for Christ's sake will find it... Continue to take up your cross and follow him daily...
BTW, you were also the first person to explain to me what ROTFLMBO was all about, Dumb me I thought it was some kinda new denomination...LOL

I have others that I will have to name another night,as it is now 3:31am.  I would like to thank all those that have given me a shout out thus far... Thank you and LGM as a whole, for those that I missed and did not name out one by one, The Bishop loves you!!!

And my prayer for you is that you will contine to grow in the knowledge of the Lord, that you grow in grace, that you be in good health, that your soul prospers, that you continue to let the word of God sanctify you, for you are sanctified by the truth, and the Lord's word is true... Holiness is a school where you learn, and those that learn mess up sometimes, but don't let that stop you from growing, learn from it and move on.  Tests come to show you where you are, so that you can "study" your weak points for the next one, because it's coming...  Study and do your knee training...
Again Bishop Loves you all...

I appreciate this encouragement, bishop2.  Yeah some of the threads were getting a little ridiculous, but nevertheless thank you.  I don't know where people see me as this great choirmaster (trying to remain humble....is it workin¿), but I thank you for this.  Music is definitely my passion and since choir directing is the only thing I really know how to master at the moment, I just allow my love for music display that way.

Appreciate you sir :)

Nakia,

  When you are young, sometimes other young people standing up for God are more of an encouragement to you than your own family. As I previously stated about Vtguy, you also make me smile when I haven't smiled much that day. You stand up for what you believe in and Never back down. That alone encourages me to be even strongER. Much Love!!

WOOOOOOW... God is so good...

I was talking with someone yesterday about myself... I said that once I put my mind to something it is extremely hard to detour me... Even if it looks like there is no way it will work, I still keep trying until I have exhausted all resourses... I was saying how my stuborness is a great factor in that... However sometimes it can be a hinderance... Because I have a lil pride issue  ;D ;D (But we is woking on nat... ;))

This on top of the word my pastor gave me lets me know that a bad decision is just a learning experience and if I never made the decision I would never have learned the lesson behind it...

Thanks for the encouragement...

To one of the first LGMmers that I talked to on the phone...
Sweet young lady with a heart for youth ministry.

I pray the Lord continues blessing you in the Kingdom work that he is leading and placing you to do in this last and evil time.  There is an attack on the body of Christ, but there is one on young people most def, and for you to stand between the works of Satan and young people is honorable and calls for some praying and consecration.

Be encouraged and know that He that loses his life for Christ's sake will find it... Continue to take up your cross and follow him daily...
BTW, you were also the first person to explain to me what ROTFLMBO was all about, Dumb me I thought it was some kinda new denomination...LOL

Be Blessed beautiful

:'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

bishop2... My vocabulary isn't extensive enought to express my love for you... Thru some of our talks you have challenged me with out even knowig it... You have enlighten me on numerous occassions, and refreshed my mind to things I kept hidden... You are an inspiration to us all... and I thank God for the wisdom he has placed within you... Continue to stay true to the word and KEEP telling people to "SanK-Ta-FY" themselves... Yes Lart.... God Bless Ya

bishop2 had left the billing... ;) :D ;) :D

You are the first mod that I had spoken to personally and it allowed me to understand that you all are people with lives as well.....I had just thought mods were these staunch people just out to delete posts and regulate the LAW (No offense to the mods).  You are cool and you keep me rolling with your posts.  I'm sure your wife and kids are always in stitches with your humor, and I'm glad that the three of them are able to have such an anointed man of God in their immediate presence. :)

Boy you are nothing short of BADD!!! You are really one of us Lost Clarks (LOL).  Yes I am 24, and yes I will one day show you my drivers licence to prove it...

Be encouraged, and know that the Lord has so many things for you to do. God has things for you too, but he has many things INSIDE of you for others, that God MUST let the world see and hear... And as sure as my name is Armando (which when you see the ID you will know it is) HE IS going to do it, no matter what it cost you...
LOOK UP, your redemption draws nigh.

Okay, the first one that comes to mind is Bro. C.J.  I just want to say that we are all proud of the strides you've made in your life, and in your walk with Christ.  Keep your head up and keep striving, I know everything is not going your way right now, but if you endure, God will not let you down.

From knowing you here on LGM, I have found you to be a genuine and good-hearted person.  I appreciate your willingness to share the things that you go through, you never know who else is reading and being helped by your testimonies.

God bless you!
I would like to encourage CJ. I've read about your challenges with your church, your job, etc. I encourage you take each challenge and see it for what it is. When working through trying times you gain wisdom, knowledge, and strenghth. For any trying situation you succeed in prepares you for the next. And there will always be trials. May God lead and guide you through anything that troubles you. May he l continue to give you the patience, wisdom, & knowledge needed in life. God be with ya Cj in all that you do.... :)

Thoughts of you bring me such
pleasure

For within you i have found
what i always wanted

Within you both i found the love and happiness and joy

That i searched my whole
life for

Just the thought of you and i smile and giggle and blush

For you are my heart i am finally where i belong

For within them i have found a love

That is unlike any other

The love that we have for each other

Is the strongest that i have every known

And will last for all eternity

We are bonded together throughout all eternity

For no mere mortal will ever comprehend what we mean to

eachother

We shall stay together throught all eternity

For we are all meant to be together

Have you performed your daily smile,
To give your life an extra mile,
It does a special thing for you,
Also makes yours friends smile too.

Not only exercise your face,
You feel you've just received some grace,
That alone makes you feel good,
To know you've just been blessed, and should.

Never forget what smiles can do,
Always remember how others did too,
There's something about it, that it always does,
It seems to bring happiness, -- it always was.

Wear a bright smile wherever you go,
People will notice your happiness show,
They'll like the view so they'll copy it too,
They'll always remember a Bright Smiling You

I woke up with a feeling inside
that I was just glad to be alive
I looked in the mirror just to see
All the beauty that lies within me
I’m not conceited
But myself will not be cheated
I am beautiful I know
Because the Lord has told me so
That all he created was good
That is the way it is understood
You can sit around and despise the person I am
But I do love my cheesy eggs and ham
I’m thankful for the life I can live
My positive attitude is what I give
I am proud of my beautiful self

Thanks for being one of the reasonable ones around here.  Your calm answers and eloquent words are seasoned with a quiet wisdom...

Be Encouraged and continue to help me hold up the light on the west coast.  I'll be up the mountain one day... You know Bishop is nervous about that part of I80...
 

Thanks Bishop,

You are truly one of a kind, and one of the very few who still carry the spirit of the "old saints".   It's refreshing to see someone hold to the teaching and upbringing that is rooted and grounded in the Word of God.  Folks can say what they will, but hold fast to your profession!  I often wonder where the next true men and women of God are going to come from, seeing as how a lot of our generation is caught up in other things.  But you and others serve to remind me that God always has a remnant! 

I've been trying to make it west on I-80 for a little while now, but summer is here and the snow closures are over (we hope) so I feel a road trip in my spirit!  I'll be in touch to let you know!

Thank you VT, you've always been in my corner.  I remember when you first came in around the time of the 10k thread, you were always very cool, and FUNNY!!  Maybe I have a kindred appreciation of sarcasm, because I always found you hilarious.  You're one of those people who can come in and just fit right in and never miss a beat (2klub is another one).  Thanks for bringing so much to LGM, you are an integral part of what makes this site so cool.

You are one of the first people that I met personally on LGM.  I have never heard you sing, but I know the advice that you give others proves to me that you can really do your thing.  Continue to strengthen the Body of Christ in your musical talents and God will definitely increase you in what you need.  Love you girl and continue doing what you do :)

When I first met you, it was through your infamous displaying of pics in the 10K thread, and I really wanted to know who this chic was with all the pics....it was great getting a chance to talk with you off LGM....you are cool.  Thanks for the hookup this past weekend and I know you stay busy, but it's been a privilege to know you :)

Well let me go ahead and thank LUMPY LOOPY   first

I wanna sing just like you when I become 29...a long ways from where I am now! (LOL..j/k). Keep on keeping on my brother. And if you keep on singing in the chat room and playing...expect to see some more passing out!  ;D Many blessings and love.

But that is what I love about ya...The Truth might hurt sometimes, but it is the TRUTH! Also...you know we hold it down for the TX/La area. We will make GUMBO together some day.

TO NAKIA


Have you performed your daily smile,
To give your life an extra mile,
It does a special thing for you,
Also makes yours friends smile too.

Not only exercise your face,
You feel you've just received some grace,
That alone makes you feel good,
To know you've just been blessed, and should.

Never forget what smiles can do,
Always remember how others did too,
There's something about it, that it always does,
It seems to bring happiness, -- it always was.

Wear a bright smile wherever you go,
People will notice your happiness show,
They'll like the view so they'll copy it too,
They'll always remember a Bright Smiling You

:'( :'( :'( :'( WOW... That was Beautiful :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
Oh sorry.... ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Loopy - Voice Extradonaire

What manner of man is this?  

I don't want to say you're the "next" anyone.  Your sound is unique, and gives me chills everytime I'm in the chatroom (which isn't often)!  You have so much to share with the world through your anointed voice!  You are truly a light and an example to the younger men on this site, and your gift is outstandingly inspirational!

You shared a story in the chatroom about an incident that occured with your nephew's Mom.  As I sat an read it, I began to cry because I could actually see you going through coniptions, but being the man of God you are, you used Holy Ghost Constraints and let God handle the situation.

I'm sure there are  more that get involved, but these are the ones I see who are Consistently "at it"  other than our brief interactions, I don't know you well, but as time goes on I hope to develop the type of relationship that others have so fondly spoke of.

Loopy - Voice Extradonaire

What manner of man is this?  

I don't want to say you're the "next" anyone.  Your sound is unique, and gives me chills everytime I'm in the chatroom (which isn't often)!  You have so much to share with the world through your anointed voice!  You are truly a light and an example to the younger men on this site, and your gift is outstandingly inspirational!

You shared a story in the chatroom about an incident that occured with your nephew's Mom.  As I sat an read it, I began to cry because I could actually see you going through coniptions, but being the man of God you are, you used Holy Ghost Constraints and let God handle the situation.  

What manner of man is this?

God bless you Loopy,  the world awaits!  :-*

WOW!!!!! praizeHim, all I can say is "THANK YOU", which seems so inadequate! I love you, and please keep me in your prayers!!  ;D ;D

To PraizeHim:

Although we don't PM much, but when we do, it's amazing.  Thank you for being you!  You make me laugh!  Love you much!  A song for you:  "We Made It" (Hezekiah)  ;)

To the Alabama Songstress:

The night we first met, WAS HILARIOUS....... you had me literally holding my stomach with laughter!  Since that time, we've had differences of opinion, but through it all -- WE MADE IT!  :-*

As I told you, you are a CLASSY LADY, and I mean that sincerely.  To later learn of your academic achievements were even more impressive to me and I applaud your efforts.

Keep posting those hot clips of your group, and continue to climb toward the Purposeful Vision God has set before you!

Luvya my Sis.

We've had our differences in the past, but know there was never any love lost, but on the countrary, I've come to know you as a really cool young lady!! Luv you and God bless!!! ;D

P.S. Tell your sister that I'll be looking for her on the next American Idol!! ;D

Herman aka PEACHIE PIE -

Surprised, I haven't seen my name yet from you..but I ain't mad. Never, ever would I of thought I would have come to grow a friendship with you. Just out of the peach, I became your LGM "wife" and we better keep it like that...lol. You seem to amaze me sometimes, but its "cool". I know there is something planned for you, I just feel it. I thank you for letting me be there for ya when ya let me. I've always got an ear open for ya. Smooches PEACHIE PIE!


I hope I am not wrong in saying this, but of all the "shout-outs" toward me, this is the one that was a definite Kleenex-grabber.  Talking to you on LGM, Yahoo, or Cricket (my cell phone) always puts a bright spot in my day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I still have not taken my "internet-ring" back, so don't worry.  You are still my "internet wife". 

Honestly, I did not leave you out on purpose, there was just so much to say.  I type 84wpm, but dang......you would end up with a whole page if I went there, so I digress.

But know that it's coming when I can get my words together.

KERPASHA................YOU SHOWED OUT WITH THAT POEM...................THANKS A LOT!  IT MADE MY SATURDAY MORNING!

Mr. Diverse379:

I know we only get to talk in the chat room but your passion to learn as much as possible on the keys is really inspiring to me.  Being a person about to pick back up the keys (and not try to throw them out the window this time), I have really felt a need to push over the hump talking to you.  Keep learning and keep earning my brother! :)

Hey VT...thanks for the encouragement.  Music has always been a part of my life.  I believe you are talking about the challenge of learning theory.  Well, you know the saying...you can't teach an old dog new tricks.  :D :D :D  Just kidding.  I think I will direct my focus on other musical aspects and school.  I'm sure our paths will meet.  ;) ;) :D :D

This thread, as someone mentioned earlier, is the BEST thread that I've ever seen, read or participated in (with the exception of any of the juicier musical threads). I believe that THIS is what LGM is here for, and why there are members like YOU here to aid in its continued success.

You are all living testimonies to all who enter LGM of the power of God, and the way Christians interact with eachother as well as help eachother deal with daily life.  As long as we're encouraging... (and I'm on a roll)... to the brother who was in the car accident.  I am praying for you.  God will use this part of your life to give you a testimony which will encourage others.  Keep your eyes on Him and you will sail through this trial and into your new car! ;D AMEN! ;D  I know I'm new here... but we should do a thread about answered prayers and testimonies of the Lord's power.....  God bless!

Thanks, Divinecalling1. May God ever bless you. Thanks for the encouragement, it was needed as with what I'm dealing with now. May His Love ever abound with you. God Bless.

Bro I respect the Christ in you and wisdom as well; at such a young age. Continue to pursue after God with all your heart. He has great things in store for you. Thanks for the kind words!

But when I first PM'm you about something or other... The revelation was a kindred spirit... one of sharing the same types of experiences.... being in the same industry that many wouldn't understand....until  "that time"

Your knowledge, your wisdom, your sharing and caring are ever present...yet when you're not here, there's a void!  I bless your life in the name of Jesus!

He's established you to reach not only the LGM family but I hear Him saying "NATIONS"....

Go forth and be blessed my precious, sweet and humble Sister in the Lord, the comforting, warm hearted, the STRONG yet GENTLE SPIRIT of the one and only..............

You asked me a question.... that sparked me and I went on and on and on!  But you adopted me as your Aunt!  That I appreciate.

]Your dedication to your music is incredible, but moreso your dedication to being a FAMILY MAN, loving your wife as you love yourself, raising your children in the fear and admonition of the Lord.   

You are truly an example for young men aspiring to be Fathers, and you add to the established group of committed and dedicated Fathers already on board!

The way may seem hard,
The road may be rough -
To endure to the end
You have to be tough,
But try to stand firm,
Be positive too!
Your faith can be strong,
And you will win through.

You won't be alone -
No, never my friend,
The burden is shared,
Right down to the end.
Our Father in Heaven,
And Jesus, our Lord
Are waiting to give you
Your eternal reward.

The Gift
by Debbie Chilton
The gift of friendship is a very special thing
As we never know what will happen when we untie the strings,
As together we begin to grow,
Go slowly and gently reveals the heart He already knows.

The gift of Friendship is a special gift given by the Lord above,
And allow to take its course, it can develop the beauty of a drove,
It's not a gift to be judge by the beauty of one's face,
But the beauty of the heart and how it reveals god's grace.

For friendship is more than two people who find things to share,
It's a gift given by God to show how much He cares,
For within the heart of each Christian Friend God gives us,
The qualities of God which are loving, caring and just.

Friendship is a gift given by God, to bring comfort on the road we walk
As together we travel through the strains of life, as we begin to talk,
Friendship is the gift through which God help us carry the load,
As together through the trails of life, by the grace of God we grow.

So its often when I pray for you, that I thank the Lord for you,
And all the times you've been there to help me struggle through,
I also pray that there be many more blessings to share together,
As we continue to travel along the same road together.

TO EVERYONE ONE LGM:


I searched among the card displays,
To see if I could find,
A little something that would say
Just what was on my mind.

However there was not a one,
That captured it just right,
For no one else can understand
Just what I'd like to write.

I even find it difficult
To try to write it down,
For how do I portray to you,
The love that I have known?

I close my eyes and what I see,
Is someone I adore;
A person who is beautiful,
Right down into their soul.

Mere words cannot describe
The many qualities you show,
The love and caring nature that
You share with those who know.

Your kind and gentle temperament,
Your sweet angelic smile,
Your softly spoken sentiments,
That reach across the miles.

Your smile and laugh that sparkle with
The softness of your sighs,
The way your face lights up a room ...
That twinkle in your eye.

The loving gestures through the years,
That quickly come to mind,
For always you've a gentle word
To calm and soothe I find.

I struggle and I search to try
To find some words anew ...
And yet I cannot capture
All the things that make you you.

I shall therefore, be satisfied
That you must simply know,
Just how I feel about you,
For with words I cannot show.

Not pretty, not ugly,
Come as you are.

Not early, not late,

To Bro Peach:

Wow, what talent. A true asset to the church and a terrible threat to satan's kingdom . . . . that's why there have been so many obstacles. The devil isn't fighting where you are so much as he is scared to peices of where you are going and the future GOD has for you. Music, writing, drama, poetry . . . . these are ministries that inspire people to reach for GOD by shaking off the past and extending their faith to receive the love of GOD. That is why the enemy tried to stop you before you ever got started . . . he saw you coming and said, "I'd better try to stop this boy before he comes into what GOD has for him."

But no one can curse what GOD has blessed. And you are blessed, brother.

You are a true blessing to the Body of Christ.

To my girl ApostolicFemale:

Girl you alright with me!! I have enjoyed trippin' with you in the chat, and even hearing you tickle the keys a lil' bit (you's a BADD girl!!)  ;D It has been great hearing about your accomplishment (graduation) and about the opportunities God has placed before you. We've had our differences in the past, but know there was never any love lost, but on the countrary, I've come to know you as a really cool young lady!! Luv you and God bless!!! ;D

P.S. Tell your sister that I'll be looking for her on the next American Idol!! ;D


Aww...Brother Loopy thank you for the encouragement...God knows I need SOMETHING like that right about now...Ima have to make another post about that graduation...I think God's gonna do something for me. I will have to see tho..BUT..Eventhough we do not agree, I have to remember some things, and calm myself down, and I want to encourage YOU Loopy to NOT ONLY fight for the faith but search it out, and study to show thyself approved, a workmen that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

Aww thanks so much Gina, that was unexpected! I encourage you also to use the talents God has blessed you with to be a blessing to the masses, my sister. It may be hard at times but just keep hanging in there and know that I and everyone else is here for you if you encouragment and prayer. :D

I'd also like to say a few words of encouragement for 4HisGlory. You know I've given you a hard time in the past, but I do appreciate everything you have done for all of us here. You saw a chance to unite fellow Christians musicians of all music levels and walks of life from a dying board (you know which one) that didn't care. You put so much love into creating this board and it shows.

So just stay encouraged through any neagativity that may arise here. When you feel like throwing in the towel on LGM, just look at how so many of us have been blessed by this site please. Slowly (and I do mean slowly) this has become more than a place to just ask for chords, but a place where friendships have been established because of your vision. Thanks and keep on doing the good work! :D

I want to encourage a few folks. I just feel like changing my own mood!! :)

Ms. Praize - for real talk keeping it "real life". Having something worth reading most of the time that can help somebody

SJonothan- Well I KNOW you are genuine. Not that other are not but I KNOW you are. Don't know how it happen but it did and I'm seriously praying for you not all the time...  ;D because I forget buty I am praying Bro.

Bear - well just because something is still bothering me. Wire got crossed and although my life and your life will go on just fine. It still bothers me. Anyway I still read the Word of the day because they are good words.


Kadman- You just seem like a cool white dude to me( ok really just because u like Family Guy) ;D

Yielded- U keep it short but enlightening. I like that. I have to learn that!

Bboy- The piano lesson's!!!!!

So my encouragment is:

That You all have, at least a few times, said something at some point that has actually stuck with me or caused me to re-evaluate my thoughts or position on a matter which....... Frankly........ is hard to do. I consider myself a "learner" so to actually learn something that will help me grow in this Christian walk, is valuable.

Be blessed my brother!



SJON,  YOU TOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooo! ;D ;D ;D


We "mess" with each other a lot but it's all in fun, but moreso in LOVE, in Jesus'  Name!


Thank you BOTH,  kind Sirs   :-* :'(

I want to encourage all of you....... It is commendable that in todays world people like all of you take time out of your personal lives to encourage, bless and spread the love of our Lord to other people.  It is sooooo awesome to see so many believers so gifted and talented!  I found this website by trying to find the chords to a song F.C Barnes Rough side of the mountain.  Now I can't seem to stay away...   I believe the Lord said that his taste was sweet.  Well... Thanks to all of you that represent, I'm addicted to the Lords candy...  How sweet it is...  The best part is that all of us are Brothers and Sisters in Christ Jesus and All of you are making me feel that I actually belong to a family.  So many "Christians" today are very SELF involved and don't even have time for their own children much less a stranger on a computer... But here all of you are IN ONE ACCORD!  I AM ENCOURAGED BY YOU!  Dedicated Servants of the most HOLY!!!!  Surely, God is SOOO proud of his children here!!!  And I am glad to have the pleasure to share thoughts and Ideas with the Servants, and the Children of God.  Thank you all, Seriously, from the bottom of my heart.

Sincerely, Your Brother in Christ Jesus,
-Scotty

Can't seem to find the right words to write for encouraging my fellow brothers and sisters, so I'll take a line from Joshua's Troop, "Be Encouraged", hopefully the words will speak to those who need it:

Be encouraged my brother,
you just hold on;
your breakthrough's on its way,
don't be dismayed.
'Cause He knows your problems
and hears your prayers,
and He'll never give you more
than You can bear.

I just wanted to resurrect an oldie-but-goodie.

And since I'm here, I want to encourage errybody who hasn't seen this thread before to read post #1 and start encouraging!  :)

Broken: Transition can be difficult.  I encourage you to go with God, and let Him be your strength.  Stay in the secret place of the most high God so you can hide out in the safety of His shadow.  Be encouraged, sis.  I'm a witness that Tim Wright was right: trouble don't last always.  :)

JustBecause,

Stay in the word, study, study, study, pray, pray, pray.

Preaching seems like a daunting task, but if God has ordained this, then as the Lord commanded Joshua, "Be of good courage".  Stand firm, and be blessed.

HD,
I have seen a great change in you since your last screen name.  I encourage you to keep seeking the Lord and hold to his hand.  Let nothing in this world sway you from pursuing Him, and you'll always be in the right place at the right time.  Continue to let your light shine, you don't have to try, people will notice the difference. 

Be blessed.

Awwww threads like these...::sniff sniff:: ::tear::

 Kodacolor:  I would like to encourage you in your job hunting...I've been there...doors closing and I'm all looking for a window to climb in or a crack to squeeze in, but God has shut that door for a reason...Despite how shady some people may be, give God the glory for closing that door and having something better in store...

Spend some quality time with Him and dig in the Word...Seek God in everything that you do and He will open that door and give you your heart's desire...Stay encouraged...Love ya, girlie...

                          Tiff
