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

They could make a film of it! Like that chap who lived at the airport! :o

CaptainDippy · 10/03/2011 18:36

Oh amber, that has given me a giggle Grin

blackeyedsusan · 10/03/2011 18:39

amber oooo are you leading a secret life? perhaps they think you will be sick over the security men. Poor ds. Results or not being able to take the ones he wants? whatever I have prayed. It is all sooo important at exam age.

Talking of nosy, madhair how did the thing with your dh go?

amberlight · 10/03/2011 18:55

BES, oh my! Poor security guards! Or perhaps they mistook the word 'chemotherapy' for 'chemical warfare'!

Tis the results for poor DS...he's not got the grades he needs so far despite re-sits. Think he's at the limit of what his brain can do.

Prayers continuing...

blackeyedsusan · 10/03/2011 19:00

....this lady will self destruct in 30 seconds....

MaryBS · 10/03/2011 19:03

Ooo, Amber is a weapon of mass destruction!

madhairday · 10/03/2011 19:04

amber, aaagh at daft organisation, you're obviously such a huge threat Grin

Twas good thanks BES :)

Poppy how are you?

CD hope the DDs are all ok. I've had dd off school all week with an ear infection so do sympathise. Had to take her back to the docs today and get more antibiotics, hopefully will clear soon.

blackeyedsusan · 10/03/2011 19:04

oh dear, poor ds. It is very disappointing for him. there may be another route round the exam blockage, but it doesn't help how they feel does it. mary, who would they get to play amber?

MaryBS · 10/03/2011 19:06

Good question BES. Perhaps Amber could suggest someone, although I'm thinking maybe Emma Thompson?

amberlight · 10/03/2011 19:09

Hmm, someone short and mad with blonde hair (well, at the moment - maybe more bald soon!). Er, umm....

CaptainDippy · 10/03/2011 19:28

Hello ladies, I'm just popping my head in to ask you all to pray for a close friend of mine whose DH had been injured while serving in Afghan and is being flown home shortly. I don't know all the details yet, or the extent of his injuries but please could you keep them both, along with their 2 beautiful DD's in your thoughts and prayers.

LibraPoppyGirl · 10/03/2011 19:56

Hello mangomay Smile

Prayers for your friend's dear husband who has been injured over in Afghanistan. Lord we pray to you, that you may keep this man in your loving arms, and guide the medical team taking care of him. Give them the wisdom and knowledge to give him the very best treatment they can give. Give them the sight to see the bigger picture, he is a husband and a father, and to take care of him so that he can go back to his family.

Prayers also Father for this man's dear wife and his 2 darling daughters. Give them comfort Lord, in this terrible time of need. Give them patience and faith Lord, faith in the team treating her dear husband and faith in herself, to be strong for her family.

Lord we ask you for all of this, in the name of your Son Jesus Christ Our Lord.
Amen xx

mangomay praying and thinking of you and your friend's family Smile

LibraPoppyGirl · 10/03/2011 20:02

Hi Ladie Smile

Lurking around at the moment, just saw this on a friends' FB wall...

On this day, God wants you to know...

that everyone mistakes the limits of their vision for the limits of the world. Have compassion for others when they cannot see what is obvious to you. Have compassion for yourself when you realize that you can see only a small part of God's vision for the world.

Popped in to share this with you, as I really do like it a lot.

Then on arriving I saw mangomays' post and it struck me that I was being given the opportunity to pray for someone I didn't even know, and in giving me that opportunity, the Lord is reaffirming His love for me, reminding me. Our God is such a giving God, he really is amazing. xxx

LibraPoppyGirl · 10/03/2011 20:03

Whoops that should of started "Hi Ladies" Blush

My apologies Ladies Wink xxx

LibraPoppyGirl · 11/03/2011 00:47

Hello???? Hmm

Have you all moved on a new thread for March, without me? Sad

LibraPoppyGirl · 11/03/2011 01:23

KentMum2008 · 11/03/2011 07:39

Just a wee quick update, my dear friends DH was injured in an IED blast. He has shrapnel wounds to his face and there is some lodged in his spine which needs surgery to remove it. He has also lost a few teeth, but we Thank God for watching over him and sparing his precious life. It could have been so much worse. He's flying home tomorrow for surgery. Please keep them all in your thoughts and prayers.

MaryBS · 11/03/2011 08:30

We're still here Poppy, and a lovely thing to share with us. Some of those inspirational messages I find, really hit the spot! How are things today?

Praying for healing, Mangomay - his family will be glad to get him home, I am sure.

LibraPoppyGirl · 11/03/2011 09:32

CaptainDippy · 11/03/2011 09:46

All still here LPG - I spent all night being kicked by a poorly little DD1 who is currently snoring away (again) in mummy and daddy's bed, poor little love Sad
