I thought of this a couple of days ago when I recalled the "I'd Like to Thank..." threads. It is so lovely to be thanked, and it is also lovely to be encouraged.

"Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing." - 1 Thess 5:11

I don't know if this is a good idea or not, (cue a 'big person' to come help! ) but I thought it would be nice to have a place where we can especially encourage members of HW in their tasks, projects, or in their walk with the Lord.

(I was thinking of posting this in the Editors and HRM threads, but I thought I'd run it by people here first!)

I like the idea! People need encouraging!

I think it's a great idea Bushy!
I made it a sticky so it's easier to find

Thankyou, Seer!

I guess I'll begin. Along with thanking Vanya, I'd also like to encourage her in all the work she does for HW, as well as the rest of the council. I see you all work so hard putting projects together and starting new ones, and I'd like to encourage you in all you do. I continue to pray that all these projects come together in something fantastic and glorifying to the Lord.

Just a little encouragement that God does provide. I have been wanting to go on a missions trip this year and I had to raise $2,500 before the end of May. God provided all of that in less than a month. I hope that is encouraging to show you all that He provides still. It was just last month and I feel over blessed

Wow, that is so wonderful, Arwen! What a blessing! Thankyou for sharing that with us!

Also, when I was at work yesterday stocking breakrooms one of my grown up friends was trying to make a Java but was frustrated because it would not work. I asked her if she prayed over it yet and she didn't so another friend asked me if I could. Before I did it started to work. I think that is an example on how God listens to prayer or an example of faith. God is still at work!

I'd like to encourage Bethany. You are a bright spot of sunshine, always encouraging and making me smile, girl. Keep on smiling.

Love,
Shawn

Awww....

It's true. ^^

*claps*

Tis very true.

Tis very, very true.

'Tis blushing very, very, very much.

Keep blushing, Bethy, because I think it's true too

And I'd also like to encourage Aussie for always thinking of ways to encourage others -- because it's really encouraging to be encouraged, if that makes sense . Keep it up!

Hear, hear!

Very true!

*wonders how many times it is allowed to blush in the same thread*

I ditto what Evenstar said of Busheh! 110% true!

This is a great thread. I don't even know anyone yet, and I am encouraged by it.

God's blessings on you all.

Lyn

Thankyou, Evenstar, Shawn, and Bethy. This really blessed me.

I'd like to encourage:

BushMaid for being like a big sis!

Airianna Valenshia for being there; even whilst she has some difficult times in her life.

Bethany Faith for all of those chats! (And there are too many to count!)

Del for being so great of a friend and allowing me to re-dub her a nickname every few days. (And also for that chat we had last night. )

Shawn Henderson for being so kind!

Sir Emeth for creating this forum! Without him there would be no Triterrus, HWFF, HWSF, or anything!

Dieki for doing all of his techy things and chatting with me, plus answering a few of my tech questions.

Amanda for chats!

Hurricane for all of her dedication to HW.

Seer for working so hard on Olorea!

Duchess Daisy for being the head of the editors.

Inesdar for taking the time to lead the editors now.

Jonathan Garner for being so active on the forums!

Kalisia for being a great friend.

Ness for being a fantastical editor.

Katir for being who she is.

Lady Elanor for being my twinnie.

PrincessoftheKing for being a great friend and for praying for my prayer request.

Thanks, Elly. I needed that.

Aww, you're welcome. *hugs Airi*

I'd like to encourage Elly for being an active, bright, and truly awesome part of HW. I see you do so much, and I'm constantly in awe of the things you achieve, and the projects you help out with. Your PM's are a delight to receive, your input and opinions valuable, and every little thing you do I greatly appreciate. I'm so blessed to have you as my little sister in Christ!

And I would like to thank you for that beautiful encouraging post. I second it. (apart from the bit about myself... *hugs Elly tight*)

Thank you, Elly!


I agree.

Massive hugs to Elly, twinnie. You always are encouraging. Thank you for that.

*blushes vividly* Thank you so much. *hugs Bush*

You're welcome and thank you.

Aww... Thank you, Ells.

I'd like to encourage Elly for always being so encouraging and positive in her posting and PMs.

I'd like to encourage Seer in all his hard work with Olorea and the upcoming contests. It's a big thing to run, and can imagine it takes a lot of work. I'd just like to encourage you for doing such a marvelous job with it all!

And yet again you've made my day, Elly. Thank you.



I whole heartedly agree this.

I'd like to encourage and congratulate Bethany Faith. From blue to purple and now yellow, she has graced the role of each rank. I want to encourage her to keep being dedicated to serving God. And we should pass a law that states Bethy must never, never permanently leave HW!

Hear hear!

*is blushing immensely* Awww, Elly.... *hugs my lil' sis*

I'd like to encourage Timotheus in all his projects. He takes on a lot, and operates almost single handedly, it seems.

So often, Tim, I want to offer to help you, but I have as many projects myself, and realize I can't be involved in everything that goes on around Holy Worlds. Keep up the good work, brother. I'll cheer you on, if that's of much use.

Awww... Thanks, Elly. You're a great encourager.

I'd like to encourage Jonathan Garner. You are so cheerful and encouraging, and you are a great ML.

Thank you, Shawn.

Your own cheerfulness is impossible to miss, and as your post is evidence of, you can be very encouraging, too.

Thank you, Sherlock.

I'd like to encourage Airianna Valenshia. She is the shining diamond in Holy Worlds and contributes an amazing amount to this forum in her lovely posts and her help in projects, her PMs, and her welcoming spirit. As Elly said, even in hard times in her life she is still an encouragement and inspiration as she still strives to do her best.

I'd like to encourage her by saying that she is always wonderful even when she does not think so. She is beautiful even when she does not feel so. And she is an amazing, young woman of God even when she finds it hard to be so. Always the awe-inspiring Queen of Holy Worlds.

*blinks * *rubs eyes * *looks again * I needed that, Bethy. I really needed that. Thank you, Love. *hugs *

*smiles* You are very welcome, Airi. *hugs back*

I second that. Tim, you do so much with almost no help, and you just keep going, no matter what. Thanks for working so hard on the podcast and everything else!

I want to encourage Jay, because his heart is in Holy Worlds, and what he does he does for the glory of God. He has been a good example to me, and his dedication and sobriety has encouraged me. Thank you Jay.

And thanks to Bethany Faith for starting this thread. We need to be looking for ways to help each other.

You mean Bushmaid?

Yup. It seems they will never escape being confused with each other.

Nope.

I would like to encourage Vili with her website that she is making; also Bethy as she continues through the hard tasks that she is faced with now. I will pray for you both.

I would like to encourage BushMaid and Bethany Faith by noting that I have never confused the two of them.

Aw, thanks, Princess. *hugs Princess*

(@Nathan) *is laughing*

You shouldn't have said that. You've sealed your fate now. Don't you remember saying that about Kaitlyn and I and then confusing us in spite of yourself?
