Encouragement

Today was... the best day i've had in a long time.  It started out kind of bad though.  I was in the mall by myself, killing time till my missions team meeting.  THen i realized that i didn't email about the meting, i only texted.  So i texted again and just reminded.  Then jennica replied and said "who is this". I was like "matt del rosario" then she was like "who are you texting. what's his or her name?" so i said, "jennica garcia. this is the number she gave me" then the person replies and says "i dont know who she is. i'm not jennica"

so that was wierd.  Then jam texts and says that she didn't know about the meeting.  Then barbie texts and says she cant come.  So then, ams shows up and says that most likely minneli wont come either.  So i was like, it's me, jasp, angel, and ams.  That's all right.

THEN, Minneli shows up! Yey! then, during the meeting, NAJEE SHOWS UP!!! BOO-YAH! hahaha.  It was awesome :)

So here's where the encouragement part comes in. At links, we were talking about encouragement, and jonnathan said something. He said that some people are like pipes and others are like buckets.  Some people just recieve encouragement and hold it in till they overflow, that's the only time you see it. Others are like pipes. As soon as they get encouragement, they pass it on right away. 

and i thought, maybe that's why i've been feeling crappy lately. I've just been holding it all in and wondering why it's not overflowing. I felt like something was wrong because it seemed like no one needed or wanted me.  I think its cuz i was bringing everyone down and "raining on their parade".

We also talked about flavors of love. hahaha. There's the kind where you are so kilig, the kind where you are crazy botu someone, the kind that's not romantic, and my fav...said by sean... the one where you love someone so much but you wish they would just die! ok, that's not my favorite, but that's the one i most relate too. haha. happened twice na to me. But let's just forget about that for now. :)

I also had the best P&W in a long time.  It was bitin pa! hahaha.  i couldn't get enough of praising God!  Especially praising God with others who were too! 

hmmmmmmm, i;m just gonna list a few of the things people have done to encourage me lately. :)

Angel! Hahaha. helped me to feel better when.. ummmm... i felt bad.  Showed me that he's not perfect either. :)

Najee told me that it actually matters to her when i ask for prayer requests. cuz a lot of the time it feels like it doesn't. But i guess to some people, it does.

Nix, nix, nix.... she's just always been there. and that's all i'm looking for, someone who is there.

Jeff! we prayed for each other on one lonely emo night! haha. remember that jeff? mabe that we like 2 weeks ago. hahaha.

well, those are the only people i've really talked to lately. But mainly it's just the feeling of knowing that i actually matter. That if i were to disappear from the earth one morning, some people would actually miss me.

So thanks guys! I hope i find a way to encourage you too. >:D< Love ya guys (in a very un-gay way!)
