Do not feel
totally
personally
irrevocably
responsible for everything.
That's my job.
Love, God

I like that a lot Grin

Well, here's the round-up:

MadHairDay - Prayers needed for friend's DD who is anorexic and is still not eating. She is being tube fed, but she keeps pulling the tube out. Sad Prayers for the girl from MHD's children's school who was recently run over outside the school. She is through the worst, but has broken legs and pelvis - a swift healing process please, Lord. Prayers for a friend of MHD's whose DH has recently left her and for her DH Gran who recently had a Stroke. Lots of prayers for MHD's lovely DD who is suffering horribly from Psoriasis and has Dyspraxia and is experiencing bullying at school Sad Prayers for MHD struggles health-wise too!!

MrsC - Prayers for her sis who has just started a new job after being a SAHM for 5 yrs - how is she settling in, MrsC? Prayers also for a friend's mum who had a cancer DX, but died very suddenly and unexpectedly recently; and for the little family from MrsC's Toddler Group who recently lost their DH / daddy.

Caz - Finding the New Year so hard. DH should get some test results back soon - has he had them Caz? Caz's health has not been the best recently either and she has had a DX of Tonsillitis again. Boost her up, Lord. Prayers also for the family and friends of the 8 year old from Caz' class that died recently.

Amber- Prayers for the friends and family of E who died recently. Amber very bravely got through her recent op; but is now facing 6 months of Chemo followed by an Op for a DX of breast cancer. The cancer has been caught quite early and is treatable, but it is a fast-moving sort of Cancer and Amber is awaiting further tests to make sure the cancer hasn't spread. Hold Amber so so close at this time, Lord - and her family too as they come to terms with having to support their "rock". xx

CaptainCaveman - Prayers required for her DH in his hunt for a new job .....

JentlyDoesIt - Is coping with DP in prison, but struggling too - needing lots of prayers for resilience and strength, especially for her two little ones. Place lots of amazing, supportive people around her, Lord. xx

barleywood - Needs prayers in her hunt for a new church to go to; and to contribute to as well ....

TeaandCakePlease - Is struggling with juggling ..... she feels in despair with her OU degree and with the task of life in general. xx

NotQuiteGrownUp - Popped by to ask for prayers as she is struggling with juggling too!! xx

Mary - Has been quite down of late and needs lots of encouragement and prayer Smile Please pray for Mary's DD's friend who is currently not eating and being tube fed; for S who trained with Mary who is having tests following the discovery of a lump on her spine; and for Mary's DF who is facing brain surgery after a DX of Chiari Malformation - she has a DH and a young DS.

livvylouis - Popped by to ask for prayers for her FIL who had been admitted to hospital with a racing heart.

NotSoFarNow - Needs lots of prayers for relationships - particularly with one of her DDs. Two of her DDs have recently dropped out of college and NSFN is struggling to know how best to support them and get alongside them.

Hermya - Has been having problems with anxiety of late. Is fretful and worried.

BoxofDelights - Has been spending a lot of time recently sorting out her financial position. Her anxiety is still bad and life is still tough.

blackeyedsusan - Is in the process of a possible separation from her violent husband. She has 2 children of 2 and 4 yrs; and is struggling.

practicallyimperfect - Prayers for the family and friends of Ben, a 17 yr old from the school she works at who was found dead in a river a few days ago. It was an accidental death and he looks to have slipped and fallen in on his way home from a gig late at night. Sad

shineoncrazydiamond - Asked for prayers for a DF's DS, little Archie who sadly died after complications surrounding a traumatic delivery. Archie was a much wanted baby and it is a terrible, tragic loss for the couple Sad

gingercurl - Asked for prayers for her relationship with her DS who is rather a "mummy's boy" - he won't let her DH do anything for him at all and it is taking it's toll.

BlessedAssurance - Her close friend was stabbed to death in S.Africa while defending another friend Sad Prayers for all those who knew and love him. xx

shieldbug - Popped by to ask for prayers for a distant relation of hers (13 yr old boy) who was having a big operation today. The operation could possibly leave him with difficulties being able to eat or, at worst, brain damage. So hoping the op went as well as possible ....

CaptainDippy - It would be great if you could all pray for a dear friend of mine who has terminal breast cancer. Due to being a "guinea pig" for some pioneering drugs, she has been with us far longer than we ever could've hoped or expected (10 yrs!!!!); but the drugs are no longer working and she knows it is nearly time to say "goodbye". She has zoomed off to go and see family in Australia and will be embarking on a tour around the UK once she is back. She 's an incredible woman and I just pray she can do everything she wants to do before she gets too poorly and that the end will be so beautiful for her, because she deserves it.

GET PRAYING!!!!

Smile

Yay, back at home - all's gone absolutely fine. piccies on Facebook for those that can see such things...really lovely staff there. Prayers anew for everyone and thank you SO much for praying.

madhairday · 02/03/2011 17:20

Amber, so glad you're OK. was thinking of you.

CD, praying for your DF's sister, and your foster mum. My mum has AF too and I know how hard it is, she is starting warfarin and having another op soon. It is worrying though :( Praying for healing and peace for her and you.

BES - big hugs. How rubbish of h. x

Please can you pray for dh and I tomorrow...can't really say much more at the moment. thanks :)

CaptainDippy · 02/03/2011 19:52

Amber, you are one amazing lady Smile Praying you are not too sicky and exhausted. xx

Prognosis not looking good for DF's sister Sad She has a DH of 10 years and 5 and 7 yr old girls, just too awful to contemplate Sad Will keep you updated .....

Glad to know someone else with a parent with AF, MHD - when was she DXed?

OP posts:
amberlight · 03/03/2011 09:07

Lots of prayers for each of you and each message...

CD, yes please to the updates on your friend - so worrying for you all on top of everything else too.

Still feeling fine, which is good!!

MaryBS · 03/03/2011 10:32

Bunch of St Davids for everyone on here. Still praying. Things still a bit fraught, but at least people are now trying, rather than having a go at me, even if they still stress me out! :)

Please also pray - I've been offered a "little job", which'll give me a bit of spending money. Have said I'll pray on it and let them know at the end of the week, although tbh it actually sounds like an answer to prayer! :)

blackeyedsusan · 03/03/2011 11:10

madhairday Have prayed but now I'm feeling exceptionaally nosy. Grin Humph.

amber how are you feeling today?

mary that sounds like good news. sorry that you are so stressed still. But at least it is looking better?

The washing machine is on it's way. The plumber disconected the old one at 8.30 last night and is now away til tues/weds next week. more washing at my mums. A good excuse to visit!

It's here!

madhairday · 03/03/2011 17:04

Thanks BES, sorry can't really say as I'm known in RL here but really appreciate your prayers xx

CD, Mum was dx with AF only a few months ago, and they say it is a direct result of a knee replacement op, seems the general anaesthetic knocked out her heart rhythm somehow. But it has been affecting her in a big way, and she is also very much a 'doing' person so very frustrated right now :(

Great news Mary about the job! :)

MaryBS · 04/03/2011 08:30

Praying for today MHD.

Things are better (mainly due to support from the diocese), but there is still frustration at church. Am trying to give it up to God. It really annoys me though when I spend time on something only for it to be rejected out of hand, by someone who knows less on the subject than I do! WAAH!

madhairday · 04/03/2011 10:07

That is hard Mary. Keeping praying. :)

Please can you pray for me and some of my seekers girls tomorrow, am taking a couple of them to the New Wine women's day and they've never experienced anything like that before, praying that they will encounter God, very excited and a little nervous! Please pray nothing stops them coming and that they will feel comfortable and be knocked out by it all in a good way :)

DutchOma · 04/03/2011 10:58

MHD Don't feel responsible for your 'seekers'. It is God's job to communicate the Holy Spirit to those who seek Him. His promises are true. Just give over.

madhairday · 04/03/2011 11:00

DO - you're right of course :) Will do!

CaptainDippy · 04/03/2011 11:51

Love and Prayers too all. No change in DF's sis Sad

OP posts:
thejaffacakesareonme · 04/03/2011 12:47

Prayers for your DF's sis and her family CD.

Amber - how are you feeling today?

Prayers for anyone who is finding life a bit of a struggle at the moment.

blackeyedsusan · 04/03/2011 14:51

Don't worry MHD, I knew you wouldn't be able to tell...

Sleep deprived... only5 1/2 hours last night and suffering. (stroppy, moody, weepy, confused)

mary I recommend poking them in the eye smiling sweetly whilst cursing them under your breath (warned you I was stroppy)

madhairday · 04/03/2011 16:12
amberlight · 05/03/2011 07:55

I'm alright thanks. Little bit Envy now and then (green-faced, not envious!) but nothing worrying. Long may it last! (though side effects build up over time so I reserve the right to be a bit more Confused later on Grin

Prayers continuing for everyone.

Could do with some for a schools RE project I'm now involved with - very exciting, but it's such a responsibility introducing school children to our faith. Please God help me to assist the main leaders in the best possible way Smile

Hermya321 · 05/03/2011 13:50

Amber Prayong that you feel better soon.

MHD Praying for you as well.

We're ok here, still feeling a bit anxious but God is taking me in hand in that respect and I'm trying to give my anxietys to him (blinking hard to at points).

DS is fantastic, he's growing at a rate of knotts and was popped on the scales yesterday and weighs 16lb 7oz and is fast outgrowing his 3-6month clothes.

Finances are still very tight since the drop in my wage, I've found out that we may be entitled to a bit of help with our rent but I'm a little bit worried as the agency we rent through states they do not accept HB applicants. I'm going to talk to them on Monday to see what the situation is. Please pray that it is favourable and that it won't be a problem.

madhairday · 05/03/2011 19:40

Thanks for prayers. Have had a wonderful day and the girls enjoyed it. Felt such a privilege to take them. Incredibly exciting :)

Hermya - praying for you re finances.

MaryBS · 06/03/2011 09:30

Would welcome prayers. Am having to "steel" myself to go to church, as its almost developing into a social phobia about going. Doesn't seem to apply to other churches, just my own atm :(

amberlight · 06/03/2011 10:21

Prayers aplenty

Thank you so much Mary x

Praise God for the strength you showed today in overcoming your fears. I'm so happy you feel better for it xx

DutchOma · 06/03/2011 13:58

Prayers for Poppy and ds and also partner. May the light of the Lord surround you.
Prayers of thanks for Mary. Bob and I went to church for the first time in about five months, the church looks totally amazing after the refit and I have heard nobody say anything against it.
