sincere encouragement.

this past week i have received so much encouragement that i am just blown away.
part of me does feel slightly worried that this cud be the calm b4 the storm and that im gonna need to dwell on all these encouragements in a few weeks time or something when im REALLY being tested! but for now i am just..well, feeling so encouraged! haha. it seems everyone i see has something nice to say. i cant honestly be pleasing this many people all at once! but i am so thankful to all these people because it really is stengthening me and making me feel validated. you dont realise that you really are achieving something good until someone tells you...repeatedly. haha.
i mean the other night at refresh i saw amber and smiled and she said "hi carrie! we were talking about you the other day!" i must have pulled a worried face cos then she said "oh no we were just saying how amazing you are"... i could have choked. and she said it right in front of pastor gerard. haha. but like i dont know amber that well, but to know that she notices me and sees me in a positive note..well, i dont know how to explain how that makes me feel...i guess, special.
anyway im rambling on. i just wanted to write about how nice it is so be surrounded by so many uplifting people.
