More evidence of spiritual attack
On Radio Northampton there was news that Chris Mountenay was selling poppies on Saturday in full military uniform and was subjected to abuse and being spat in the face.
Chris is a newly baptised member of our church.

So much going on here. DO totally echo your words.

How awful for Chris, so sad that this type of thing happens.

Oh MrsC how tragic :( Praying for that family now.

Praying for PA and Amber

Mary glad MIL ok but sorry to hear things bad with BIL and SIL, praying for them and for you muchly.

I tell you what though, there may be attack but to me it has the opposite effect satan wants, for me all you girls on this thread are becoming like a family and the stuff happening is binding us together in some way. do you know what I mean? I am certain that this thread has some unseen effects throughout MN as a whole and that is pretty cool. But all the more reason to stand up to attack and have courage. Remember that our God is stronger than any other

Keep hanging in there everyone.

Morning all

Firstly, MrsC - that poor wife in your congregation!!! that is truly awful and had saddened me a great deal. She is my thoughts and prayers as she struggles with what has happened. I hope she has lots and lots of excellent support and help around her at this time. When is the baby due? Oh my.

Phew about your MIL Mary , but about your SIL - she is very much in my prayers. Let us know what happens. Glad there is more they can do for your BIL, he must be worried sick right now. How are you today?? xxxx

Hello TotallyUnheardOf xx

No trivial Hermya - that is big stuff for you, especially as you cope with children and teeny baby. Praying the tenderness and pain abates and gives you some relief. xxx

All ticking along in DippyLand .... la ...... la .....la ......

Please pray for my husband and our marriage.
Let God bring my husband back to him and me, his wife, and open his eyes. Let my husband set his priorities as in first place Jesus Christ, my self, our children and all other things and activities.
I need very series prayer as my marriage is falling a part..:(

I cannot believe just how many people are under attack on here. Praying for each and every one of you as I read through.

I just wanted to encourage Vbusymum as I know how it feels to be in your position but God has totally transformed our marriage and we have some amazing things going on atm in life generally. There were times when I doubted that God would that for us but I remembered the promises that I made to God on our wedding day and knew that God would uphold us.

I've had a few better days so although I haven't heard from the hospital yet about my appointment, I am managing better. I'm trying to be optimistic but that is hard when I keep on having a few OK days followed by some terrible days. DH is being incredibly helpful and understanding so I feel like I can tick on like this for a while longer

vbusymum praying for the restoration of your marriage

cad how terrible,i pray for the young family,,such bad news,this has made me so sad,may God give this family strength,especailly the wife so she can be there for her young children,,and peace,,oh God

hello totallyunheadof

Praying on for you all. Just thought I'd share that having been wondering over the past few days what God's purpose for me / my children / my family is in all that's been going on in our lives, I listened to a Kids worship CD yesterday in the car that said :

" I'm here for the God of heaven; chosen, loved and so forgiven. I'm here for the God of Heaven - here to worship you."

It encouraged me to stand firm and worship God. Everything may be terrible, but that will never take away the fact that I and you are chosen, loved and so forgiven by the God of Heaven.

Just to show his love to me today,when I've been feeling rather low, I've just had a lady from church drop round with flowers for my daughter ( she's 8 and has CFS - has been home bound for more than a year). I'm praying that you all are very conscious of God's power and presence with you.

MaryBS - I pray that your sil is sorted out soon - my Mum was in the same situation Saturday - had her heart defibrilated yesterday, and was back home by the evening.

Thank you for coming by with such wonderful encouraging words katsh God is here xx

I am sorry you are going through such horrid, hard times with your DH, Vbusymum Praying that he is restored and your relationship is healed. xx

Anyone who hasn't emailed me yet, please do - I still have something to ask - especially the "old timers" of this thread xx

captain_dippy "at" yahoo "dot" co "dot" uk

vbusy praying for your marriage.

Good to hear PA is home. continiung to pray for your healing.

I'm feeling low today. Stupid thoughtless comments from others.

On the up side, DH's lumber puncture went really well. Praise God. With the xray it was a much smoother experience with no fussing. Straight in there and got the fluid they needed. Just gotta wait 6 weeks for the results now though. Thank you all for your prayers for today.

Six weeks Caz, that's a long time.
Bob seemed a lot better today. The consultant had been and said he could have some food, the physios had been alerted as had the speech therapist. He still could not talk much, but we got him a magic writing pad and he was quite happy using that.

Thanks for the comments and prayers. Very much appreciated. This is my only Christian connection at the moment so I'll be hanging around a bit - lurking mostly, no doubt (not ready to pray yet).

Caz so glad the procedure went well, prayin for you as you have to wait so long.

DO so pleased B a little better again today :)

Katsch great words - Duggie Dug Dug by any chance? we've got that one :)

SS good that things are a bit better for you.

Vbusymum praying for you and your husband.

Tentativesteps just great that you are here. :)

Please pray for a friend. Just had a phonecall from her in absolute hysterics. DV issues and alcoholism. Obv can't say much but please please pray. I am worried she will do something silly.

i know i don't post that often anymore but oh I don't know suppose i need all the help I can get. Feel like i've tipped over the edge. DD1 is now under the allergy consultant, the cardiologist bec she keeps fainting and they think there may be a problem with her heart, Upper limb consultant for her shoulders that if you remember were operated on and doing well but she fell on sat and dislocated one of them again so looks like we back to square one on that one and the lower limb consultant to see what they going to do iwth the malaligned bones in her leg. Just feel that she has no life and everytime she picks herself up it all goes pear shaped again. She needs to use crutches and now cant bec of her shoulder. Shes started a college course in sept and now looks like that could be in jeopordy.

Sorry thats a long rant. Ended up crying at traffic yesterday because it was stood still. sobbed at the gp yesterday booked me in with counsellor next week but i'm working. Feel at my wits end, not sleeping house is a mess just don't knwo what to do anymore.

Sorry feel like i all take and no give and i only come on here when i'm struggling sorry

Hello VBusy and notsofarnow - I'm sorry to hear that things are so tough for you at the moment and will pray for you. Prayers also for the young family at MrsC's church.

It's great to hear that Bob is a bit better DO and that Caz's DH's lumbar puncture went smoothly. I hope PA's operation went smoothly too.

Notsofarnow dearie, where else would you come except here where we can intercede for you to Almighty God, Who knows and cares.

We all rue the fact that we are geographically so distant from one another, ranging from the Isle of Wight to Glasgow and yet we are united in prayer.

I have had wonderful local support (as well as prayer support on here) which I'm sure has been organised by the Lord and I have prayed that similar will happen to you.

Be assured too that dd is in God's hand and nothing is happening to her that she, or you, will ultimately not be able to cope with.

God is still God, He does not depend on our feelings.
Every blessing.

Thanks all for praying for my husband and our marriage..I already see little changes

Blessings

hello to all newbies on here. I hope you all feel as welcomed as I did when I first found this thread.

I agree that there's spiritual attack going on here, but that's encouraging in one respect because we wouldn't be attacked if we weren't making a difference. Harry and I were in danger last night- I slipped carrying him down the stairs and we bounced down quite a few before stopping. Thankfully, dh had prayed for us before he went out that night and we were protected. He was ok and although I am sore and bruised, I am basically fine. Praise God for his mercy. Otherwise, Harry is doing well.

Prayers for all.

Praying and lurking.

Quick one to say I'm sorry things are so difficult at the moment for you, and am keeping you in my prayers.

Was thinking of that verse from Lamentations 'Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed. Your mercies are new every morning, great is your faithfulness.'

-Remember that; we are not consumed Keep going, keep fighting, keep hanging in there lovely people.

Giving thanks for Bob's improvement today. I could hardly believe my eyes to see how he was talking, eating, drinking.
And the consultant treating him is a Christian and worships at a Pentecostal church in town.
God is at work and we are not consumed

For anybody having read The Shack, that's what she is like.

My PIL are still bullying H about Christmas As they can't bully me anymore since I burst into tears on the phone, they're now increasing the pressure on him again. He's seeing his dad tonight, so prayers for him please as we maybe divorcing due to his continued affair but we're both reading from the same hymn sheet on co-parenting the children.. This probably sounds complicated to newer people on the thread as this issue has been ongoing for a while. Here's a link to the original thread.

Dutch that's wonderful news! God is good.

Teaandcakeplease - I've read some of the other thread but haven't time to read all of it. I can quite understand why you would not want to embark on an 8 hour journey. My 2 DSs are 5 and 3 and get car sick which has been putting me off the 4 hour drive to my parents house. I don't know what your PIL are like, but I know that i get nervous when I visit my parents house. They have so many ornaments etc all over the place that I feel I am constantly acting like a goalkeeper trying to watch the kids and catch any ornaments etc before they drop them. I don't know where you live in England or Wales but wonder if your PIL would be willing to pay for a holiday at Centre Parcs in the Lake District? I estimate it would take approx 4 hours to travel there from Montrose, which may make it about half way depending on where you live. It'd be much more child friendly and provided they pay for two separate chalets / apartments you would have your own space too. If you go out of school holiday time you can get some quite good deals.

My biggest problem now is Christmas as I want to be at home with the DCs on Christmas day not with my ex in laws. MIL also suggested the OW and H and I and DCs could all be there together like one happy family for 7 days As I need to be adult about this apparently?

The fact I'm getting divorced doesn't feature in her ideals as far as she's concerned, nor does not confusing the DCs

I'm seeing my family on boxing day, and when the PIL lived only 30 mins from me for the last 9 or so years I've known them it's been great. 9 hours is just too far. I live near Watford, Herts.

It's been a hard year on the DCs and me, we just want a quiet Christmas at home and daddy is coming over for a few hours between his work hours. He can't go up to Scotland either anyway due to work hours. And it's not appropriate for me to go for 7 days at Christmas now we're divorcing. I'm trying to carve out a new life for myself as a lone parent. They're often down this way anyway, FIL has seen the kids at least once a month since he moved and they're always welcome to pop in but 7 days with my MIL and FIL on my own with no one to back me up whenever she undermines and criticises me is too much for me to bear in my current fragile state. She's also a bit jekyll and hyde and is difficult company at times. It's just too stressful. I didn't ask for their son to have an affair and leave me for a 21 year old. I make the best of it but I don't have the emotional energy to keep being bullied and pressured about all this when they chose to move so far away from both their sons and GCs

I'm probably not making much sense am I? This is the biggest cause of stress in my life at the moment as MIL is very passive aggressive and just pushes and pushes until you give in I want them to be part of their lives but I need certain boundaries in place iyswim? I need them to respect my pov, instead of feeling like I'm being rail roaded constantly. Due to a situation out of my control i.e. them moving and H leaving me.

Can you please add a prayer for me.

The pain in my breasts has gotten worse and I'm nearing my breaking point. I just really could do with God stepping in now, I've had enough.

Nothing really has gone the way I wanted it to with DS's birth, my recovery and my hospital stay. Feeding has been hard so far what with the mastitus and latch issues. I just really need for this to go well. I know this is an area of attack and I know God is with me. But I know myself and my mental state and I know if this continues I just won't be able to handle it. I have been to the Docs but they were a bit pants. I'm going to go to a local BF clinic but I'm really really needing God to step in on this one.

Me and DH were praying and I felt God saying that 'though tears come in the evening, joy will come in the morning'. I'm praying and holding him to that one.

Tea You need to do whatever it takes to keep yourself sane. Please don't give in, it really wouldn't be helpful for you to go and spend seven days with these people. You need to reestablish yourself and you need to look after yourself. I pray that God gives you strength and I pray that they back off and God gives them understanding.

DO I'm so pleased for you.

Caz I'm so pleased that your DH's lumbar puncture went well.

Praying for you all!!
