AS A FB Friend SAID PROV 24 , V17 AND 18
17 Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth:

18 Lest the LORD see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.

amberlight · 03/05/2011 11:29

Heck, horrible day, not coping very well - chaos first thing with ds's exam arrangements, and then hospital totally fouled up the procedures for me today and it hurt a heck of a lot and now I've got to go have chemotherapy and I'm SO exhausted already...prayers would be appreciated

Feeling much better today thanks xxx

Prayers for everyone

Notquitegrownup · 05/05/2011 04:59

Hello. I haven't been on this thread for so long - last time I came on I asked for prayers in juggling all of the things I have taken on recently, but I haven't succeeded in gettting a good balance in life and am really really struggling now.

Please could I turn to you, my old friends on this thread, to ask for prayer support in getting out of the pickle I am in, in getting through the things I have to do, and getting rid of the things that are wrong in my life. I feel as if I am not in a good place, but know that our Lord has me in His hands - just can't feel them, and still need to do sooooooo much - deadlines to meet, at work and home - agh!

Keep reminding myself that God does not call us to be successful, just to be faithful to Him . . . .

blackeyedsusan · 05/05/2011 07:34

Heeeelppp panicking, got to get packed for holiday and today is thursday, what happened?(bank holiday, inset dday and too much mning.)

amberlight · 05/05/2011 07:39

Brew for you then BES? Have a quick sit down before you exhaust yourself. Prayers for you.

NQGU, prayers for you as well. Like you say, there's no prizes for perfection and God loves us anyway. You're loved.

Prayers for everyone else too.

MaryBS · 05/05/2011 08:25

Praying NQGU. I'm here if you need someone to talk to ...

BES, deep breath, have a cuppa, and then make a start. If it helps, make a list of jobs and then you can tick them off as you achieve them.

Prayers for you Amber - how are you today?

Gingercurl - good news about your Godson! :)

CaptainDippy · 05/05/2011 09:47

madhairday · 05/05/2011 10:11

NQGU, good to see you back and praying for you right now. Praying peace in the midst of chaos.

Hope you find the phone CD - can you pop round to your friends if they are not answering calls?

BES - hope you've got packed ok now :)

mufti · 05/05/2011 12:22

amberlight · 05/05/2011 15:14

CaptainDippy · 05/05/2011 20:31

You are all so sweet Smile

My 'phone ran out of battery last night, which is why I have probably mislaid it. Sigh. Finally got hold of my friend (popped to her house twice today, hoping to find her in) She was actually at Legoland with her family, argh!! So she won't be getting back til late tonight, so won't know if mobile is there til morning probably now. she said she and hubby hadn't really been in sitting room since last night, but she didn't recall seeing it. I just hope hope hope it is there!!!! I know it is pathetic and sad, but it is stressing me so much. I just want it back......

Sorry to just pop in and out again. Have a meeting in 10 min.
Urgent prayers for my DSis, please. She has a Ehler-Danlos and chronic back problems as a consequence. Surgery in the past, etc. Very complex and most doctors just throw their hands up in the air saying they don't know what to do. The last couple of days she's experienced a "strange pain" in her pelvic region and legs. This morning she can't walk. Her consultant is unable to see her but the nurse she spoke to thought it sounded serious enough to go to A&E for an x-ray. BIL is driving her there in a few minutes. DSis hates the A&E saying that they usually treat her very badly there proabaly because of the non-straight forward nature of her condition. SHe's worried that they'll just give her pain killers and fob her off.

DutchOma · 06/05/2011 10:01

Praying Gingercurl for your dsis. I know just what you mean about being fobbed off because the condition is not straightforward.
Let's pray it doesn't happen in this case

DutchOma · 06/05/2011 10:23

Captain Dippy asked me to post a prayer request for her:-
She has slept for two hours as she was a 'counting officer' for the elections. She has gone to bed now for a few hours, but needs to be up again for Peggy's funeral this afternoon.
This of course on top of looking after 3 dds. Please pray for rest while she can and for strength during this afternoon.

amberlight · 06/05/2011 10:40

Prayers assured....

madhairday · 06/05/2011 11:26

Prayers especially for ginger's dsis and CD today. Amber hope you are feeling a little better today as well.

Could I slip one in too - chest dodgy again today and feel like I have no reserve at all. Legs jelly and major shakes today. Prayers for energy - going away for weekend. thanks!

amberlight · 06/05/2011 11:38

I'll join you in those prayers for less wobbliness etc MHD - think doing a big shop in ASDA probably wasn't the best way to save energy for a hectic weekend including meeting the ABC... Shock

madhairday · 06/05/2011 15:43

Really Amber?

Give Ro a hi-five for me. Tell him MadHair thinks he is rather excellent Grin How come you're meeting with him?

Prayers for energy for you.

gingercurl · 06/05/2011 20:50

Have spoken to DSis who spent three hours at a&e today. She saw two docs, one v junior, the other slightly less so. They ruled out infection (DSis knew that was not a problem) gave her an injection in the hip joint and sent her home. The pain in her pelvic floor they did not address after suggesting 3 times that she should take a couple of paracetamol. The first couple of times, DSis had politely told them that paracetamol didn't have any effect on the pain. The third time she got a bit fed up with them not listening and had told them that "the paracetamol has no effect on this pain whatsoever, but, if it would make you feel better, I am quite happy to take a couple of tablets." Grin The stupidity of some of these people! And we entrust them with our health! One of them had then said something along the lines of "if you were to hit your thumb really hard, would this pain subside then?" What???? Is having a medical degree the same as having a license to behave like insolent idiots??? Sorry. rant over.
Prayers for everyone on here. MHD, Amber, I hope you're feeling less wobbly.
Has anyone heard from Libra?
