CaptainDippy · 01/01/2011 10:04

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

Oh Amber Sad ((hugs)) and prayers for you x

blackeyedsusan · 31/01/2011 14:44

amber sorry to hear your news. it must be a shock for you. I am not surprised you feel sick. When do you start? thinking about you.

MyrrhyBS · 31/01/2011 15:17

Praying Amber

amberlight · 31/01/2011 15:55

Not sure when chemo will start. Operation to assess what's what on Thursday and more results then, then probably chemo from week of 13 Feb.

TotallyUnheardOf · 31/01/2011 16:18

Sorry to hear that news, Amber. Am praying for you.

Do you have a Maggie's Centre near you? Hope you get all the support you need at this difficult time.

amberlight · 31/01/2011 16:27

Not very near me, no - about a 45 minute drive away or an hour by train to another one. There's support online through the Breast Cancer Care site and apparently there's some sort of support group in a neighbouring small town. Yup, the support makes a huge difference - even small things like people just being normal and cheerful, I find....
Keeping everyone else in prayers too

PositiveAttitude · 31/01/2011 19:06

Prayers for you Amber. For full healing and God's peace for you and your family over the coming months.

gingercurl · 31/01/2011 19:53

So sorry to read your news Amber. Praying for healing and peace you and your family and wisdom for your medical team. God is very close to you right now.

madhairday · 31/01/2011 20:10

Tell me not to venture onto threads about christianity. I just got somewhat attacked. I'm used to it but this time it feels personal somehow. Feel pretty upset, but may only be because I have a chest infection and meds up to the eyeballs.

Was only trying to engage with discussion in a positive and gentle way :(

Teaandcakeplease · 31/01/2011 20:18

"OK MHD Don't venture onto threads about Christianity".

Just kidding. ((hugs)) it's horrid when that happens, I admit I now stay away from them Sad More ((hugs)) lovely. We are meant to proclaim God's truth lovely. You're braver than me for even saying something, which is what we're called to do, even on the web I reckon x

Teaandcakeplease · 31/01/2011 20:27

Ahhh I've found the thread and read it, ouch MHD I'd hide the thread maybe Sad as it's being hi-jacked now by people who've had some bad experiences in the past and their perception is altering your kind words into something they percieve you're saying instead, which you're not. IYSWIM? I'm not the most articulate or wise but I'm sorry to see the nasty flaming you've got for a well meaning message.

madhairday · 31/01/2011 20:33

Thankyou TACP. The person who attacked me has said it wasn't personal though reading the messgae it seems that way. Have given her benefit of the doubt. It is always my intention to be gentle and generally nice, and not enter into slanging matches on these things. sometimes it comes back to bite me though Hmm

Thanks for your kind words, they mean such a lot.

Teaandcakeplease · 31/01/2011 20:45

Oh good. So sad that people have been so hurt by the church/ other Christians and it has effected (sp?) them so much and their whole idea of the church and even their faith. That's not how it's meant to be Sad

TotallyUnheardOf · 31/01/2011 20:55

In haste... haven't seen the thread, MHD, but just wanted to say that I can't imagine you being anything other than gentle and lovely. Sorry you've been hurt.

madhairday · 31/01/2011 20:56

Thankyou TUO :)

blackeyedsusan · 01/02/2011 07:16

Teaandcakeplease · 01/02/2011 07:32

amberlight · 01/02/2011 08:04
