Thanks TUO. Prayers for your mum BES, and also for Sarah. Please also pray for N, a boy at DD's school who tried to kill himself :(, that God will guide him through this difficult time, and he will see life is worth living.

BES, I'm OK, things keep getting fraught, I am hoping to have a relatively quiet day and get some tasks done that I've neglected...

MadHairDay · 05/02/2013 08:53

Thankyou TUO, you're a star, but you missed yourself off the list, so I'm adding you and praying for you :P :)

Oh Mary, praying for N and his family. :(

It's snowing!

blackeyedsusan · 05/02/2013 10:03

we had a sprinkling of snow.

I have put in the request for a parents evening appointment. I am hoping that we will get one when we have asked, rather than an appointment on competely different day at a time when there is no creche and that the childen's dad can't get to, after he has booked time off work and done 170 mile round trip to attend. Hmm

oh joy. I have got to go to school to see the salt about ds. i am worried his behaviour will not be good when I turn up. I m also worried that the teacher will not be happy. she is not the easiest to work with. it certainly does not feel that we arre working in partnership.

the salt was lovely again! apparently a lot of parents have not got letters or letters on time. (phew) she was working with ds as she thought I was not coming... but on the other hand he got to work and concentrate in the quiet and without interuption.. by the time I arrived the corridor he was working in was heaving Hmm

salt said she would have a quiet word about the effect of the classroom changes on asd children as it seemed that the teacher did not seem to realise the big effect it would have and said it would unsettle all childen. I hope it goes in! training for teachers is patchy.

HavingALittleFaithBaby · 05/02/2013 22:33

Settling in. Really pleased to hear working with the SALT was a positive experience bes.

Glad you've had a better day Mary.

Back to work for me tomorrow :( please pray its a steady day! My last two long days coming up!

Morning All.

I'd really appreciate some prayers for peace this morning. I suspect that the buyer for our house may kick off or pull out today. I have no idea what we'll do about money. Sometimes I think it would just be easier to default on mortgage payments or stop training and go back to work. I can't believe that God doesn't want us here but I also can't see how we can stay if the house sale doesn't proceed SadSadSad

Also DH had some interesting phone calls about something separate yesterday. Annoyingly I probably won't be able to discuss it with anyone for months but I really need to talk about it because it will have a huge effect on my life and I don't really have any say in the matter.

I am feeling more than a little trapped by life at the moment. I know that following DH's calling is not about making me happy, it's about the people who we will share Jesus with. But, I have given up my entire life as I knew it, feel like I've lost my entire identity, am facing financial ruin and am having a hideous pregnancy that is preventing me from getting stuck in up here. I can't help but feel like if I have to change so much, then it's not me who God really wants. The annoying thing is that I could quote scriptures and teaching about this until the cows come home but it doesn't help how I'm feeling.

Sorry for the rant. It's not the sort of thing that you are supposed to admit to in leadership, is it?!

GingerCurl · 06/02/2013 10:12

Oh Room, I had a similar feeling of being trapped when I was studying theology many years ago. It's a horrible place to be emotionally. I got out in the end. Praying for you and for house sale.

Feeling much better having chatted with DO. I just needed to let it out! The pressure to 'keep up appearances' was really getting to me. Life is hard and I'm not good at keeping that to myself!
