Hello! Grin Thought today would be a good & apt day to start a new thread Smile

Let's hope it is an Exciting and Blessed year of New Beginnings for us all Smile

Here's the summary from the last thread:

katsh - Prayers for her brother who's marriage has just ended rather traumatically Sad He and his ex are sharing their children 50:50 at the moment and will be starting court proceedings for access etc very soon. They really need your prayers.

MadHairDay - Prayers needed for her friend's DD who is currently in a very bad way with Anorexia. Her organs are shutting down & she is being tube-fed Sad Prayers also needed for other friend's and their DS who has just had a DX of Leukemia Sad; and for MHD's DF who's husband has just left her Sad This is going to be such a tough year for them, hold them all closely, Lord. Praise though for recent favourable results for MHD's recent lung capacity etc tests Smile

TeaandCakePlease - Her DF who has had a recent DX of breast cancer (which has spread to her lymph nodes) has just had her 1st course of Chemo. She needs prayers for the hard times ahead, as do her family. Prayers also needed for her friend's DS, William who has special needs, he has just come out of hospital where he was having brain seizures every 20 mins. He is home now with special meds.

JaffaCakeAddict - Did your pregnant friend who was snowed-in have her baby safely???? ....and did your sis and family make it home for Christmas!!? Wink

LoveBeingaDaddysGirl - Lost her father at the end of November and suffered a m/c at the beginning of Dec. Such a hard time for LBADG and her family. Hold them close, Lord.

M44 - Prayers for her poor DS whose Eczema is being terribly exacerbated by the weather at the moment Sad

MaryBS - Her BIL has been DX with a secondary brain tumour and will now require special care at home. Prayers for him and for his wife whose health hasn't been too good recently either. These are such hard time for them both.Sad Prayers also needed for Mary's knee which recently collapsed and is causing Mary a lot of pain and discomfort; and for Mary's DD's friend who is currently in an Eating Disorder's Clinic, she is only 11 Sad

TotallyUnheardOf - Prayers for her as she seeks to find a church to attend where she lives; and for a more positive attitude to her faith from those around her. Praise for friends who has recently had a BFP after commencing fertility treatment Grin

CaptainCaveman - Her DH has been acquitted of misconduct at work Smile He is now looking for another job, so prayers for success in this would be great Smile

WisteriaWoman - Prayers for family, especially her mum as they settle her father who has Dementia into a care home.

amber - Will need an op in Jan 2011 after the results of scary tests, which she bravely undertook a couple of weeks ago. Prayers for her friend's DS who is in hospital with bad Flu - how is he doing??

Caz&Belle - Has got through her 1st Christmas since losing Belle; but still awaits results of DH's lumbar puncture and finding out what is causing his poor health.

TooBlessed - Hoping that TooBlessed got to Zimbabwe with her family and has had a wonderful time with them Smile

gingercurl - Prayers for her friend and her DF who have been the targets of some appalling behaviour, which has meant the DS has had to move schools. Prayers for 2011 to be a much better year for them.

DutchOma - Has Bob home after a hospital and rest home stay Smile He is doing well and making progress. Smile

JentlyDoesIt - Really needs our prayers at this time as her DH has been taken to start a 6 year prison sentence following a guilty verdict in court just before Christmas. Jently is understandably devastated and is struggling. Uphold her during these dark times, Lord.

BoxofDelights - Posted the following: ". To cut a long and complex story short, a couple of years ago I had a miscarriage and the aftermath of this revealed various problems with (longterm) relationship and it ended. The emotional fallout also led me to confront issues of abuse in my childhood by family members (which I had been trying to cope with, put to one side and hide)which happened for many years." She has cut ties with her family and a lot of her friends as a result of difficult circumstances and is so wanting 2011 to be a year of reconciliation and renewal; and we join her in these prayers Smile

PositiveAttitude - Is finally feeling better for the 1st time since July Smile - Yippee!! Prayers for a continued fantastic recovery Smile

mufti -'s old Pastor died on 28.12.2010. He will be greatly missed by those who knew and loved him. Prayers especially for his family at this time.

Last, but by no means least - Praise for the safe arrival of Saliswan's DS Thomas on 17.12.2010, weighing 7lb 8oz at 37 weeks - Hurrah!! Grin

Think that is all - but please fill in where I have missed out - and GET PRAYING!!!! Smile

May 2011 be a year of Renewal, Healing & Blessing for us all; and all our friends, families - and enemies too!! WinkGrin

Keeping prayers going...and thank you to those who are praying for me. It's helping hugely - I feel so much more able to cope right now. Whether that will be the case on Thursday, we'll see...

madhairday · 24/01/2011 13:12

Praying practical, how sad :(

Amber - keeping praying, so glad you are feeling able to cope.

Update on little girl who was knocked over, still in hospital with broken legs/pelvis, but is out of the worst of it now, thank God, but she is going to have a lot of recovering to do, poor little mite. We are trying to get the council involved and traffic calming measures but they don't want to know :(

amberlight · 24/01/2011 13:54

Madhair, sounds like you need the local papers/radio station on your side. Councils seem to respond well to media pressure. So glad she's starting to recover...

DutchOma · 24/01/2011 14:07

MHD And your MP

madhairday · 24/01/2011 14:28

We have been in the paper and contacted MP. . No money....you know the story. We will do something. Parent power....

MyrrhyBS · 24/01/2011 17:38

DH's BIL has died... RIP Paul :(

amberlight · 24/01/2011 17:40

Oh MyrrhBS - I am so sorry to hear of that...prayers aplenty for you all Sad

madhairday · 24/01/2011 17:57

Mary :( Prayers.

practicallyimperfect · 24/01/2011 18:51

So sorry Mary.

I should say that I have been here before as roslily, but I name changed.

He is still missing

jaffacakeaddict · 24/01/2011 19:02

Mary - I am sorry to hear that. Prayers for you and your family at this time.

gingercurl · 24/01/2011 20:39

Oh Mary so so Sad . Prayers for your family and you.

Praying for missing boy, injured girl and the girl with eating disorder.

Also for Amber. And Hermya.

blackeyedsusan · 24/01/2011 22:27

sorry myrrh Sad

Terrified of the next steps I have to take and what h will do. Feel sick with worry. Scared of ending up dead, probably over reacting, however, but for periferal vision and quick reactions it could have been "there but for the grace of God go I"

Teaandcakeplease · 24/01/2011 22:43

I would speak to Womens Aid and follow their advice Susan. Have someone with you when you tell him. Prayers for you aplenty x

amberlight · 25/01/2011 07:17

Blackeyedsusan, definitely talk with Womens Aid about what to do and what not to. Keeping you in prayers, along with everyone else.

Had terrible night's sleep - just worrying endlessly which is silly. Thought I'd got past that bit, but apparently not...

PositiveAttitude · 25/01/2011 07:28

Some really hard situations on here at the moment. Please be assured of my prayers for you all.

I often read but am unsure what to write, big ((hugs)) to everyone needing one (or two).

MyrrhyBS · 25/01/2011 09:42

I like today's 3 minute retreat. Entitled "do not be afraid"

amberlight · 25/01/2011 10:56

That's a lovely retreat...

madhairday · 25/01/2011 11:07

blackeyedsusan - praying. I think the others are right, please talk to women's aid asap, and come on here if you need to talk. x

practicallyimperfect · 25/01/2011 17:43

Boy is still missing, no trace at all. We have had such tragedy at our school, six deaths in four years.

I will include you all in my prayers.

CaptainDippy · 25/01/2011 18:49

6 deaths in 4 yrs Shock Oh my!!!! So sad, prayers for that boys' family, just terrible.

So glad the little girl is over the worst now MHD; but still in such a painful way - Prayers for a swift as possible recovery from here.

Oh Mary, I am so so sorry. Prayers for you, for your DH and all the family and friends involved. How is everyone doing???

On-going prayers for you honey. We're all here for you Smile xxxx

Checking in in great haste as I have an interview tomorrow and am stressing.

I will keep you all in my prayers, but will be thinking especially of Amber in her worry and uncertainty, of Susan in her pain and fear, of Mary and her family in their grief, of the missing boy from your school practicallyimperfect, and of baby Archie.

(It's not on the same scale of worry as any of the above, but if anyone has time to pray for my interview I would be so grateful. It's 'only' an internal post, but it would be a post where I think I could do some good, if that makes sense.)

Now back to cut a minute off my presentation, if I can!
