MN Christian Prayer Thread - Dippy's Back! Prayers for New Beginnings as a New Academic Year Commences ......

[CaptainDippy]

I know I would appreciate prayers as I face the prospect that the Littlest Dippy starts school in a few short weeks (w/c 12th Sept to be precise). Feeling a little wobbly to say the least ......

Wisteria, what a difficult thing to have to cope with from your sister, I can so understand that you are cross and upset. Does she have no thought for your poor father who would have to be uprooted again and for your mum who would have to do a 100 mile round trip to visit him? I most certainly pray for wisdom in the situation and wish you strength in coping with her.
Gingercurl, glad that you can have five minutes in which to talk with your husband, hopefully you will soon manage an evening or weekend afternoon where you can have a little more time, not just to sound off, but to have some real time fellowship.

Reading each of the messages
Praying for each of you

poor s.

ww that sounds extremely a little annoying. why go and distrupt everything again? did she get involved in the initial decision? being near your mum seems the more important criteria. it is all so hard isn't it.

can you please pray that the sollicitors who are arranging everything for our new landlords please hurry up and give us a moving date. This whole moving house business is stressing me out massively.
Basically our current house has been let already and people want to move in on 3rd of December but we can't move in our new house yet... our current letting agent is putting us under pressure and we are trying not to put our new landlords under pressure and trying to be flexible but I can't take it anymore... specially as DH asks me to arrange a meeting with them to talk things through which then means me phoning with landlady and telling her things that DH didn't want me to tell her... think I messed up there. He shouldn't have asked me to do that, he knows I don't like it and do things different that how he would do it.
So know I'm stressing that when he comes back from work later I need to tell him that we won't be meeting up with new landlords to talk things through as I have done on the phone, which he didn't want me to do...
sorry for the long rant... I just need to talk to someone as DH is not home and DD is too young to understand why I am stressed...

for you blue. if he wants it done the way he wants it done, he should have done it himself. if you are doing it then you have to respond to the situation that arises. hope he doesn't get too stressed about it. moving is said to be one of the most stressful things on top of everything else it will seem even worse.

have prayed.

thanks bes moving is indeed extremely stressful, luckily we're only moving 0.5 mile down the road... not like we did last year and moved from Belgium to UK and did it all ourselves
DH did promise me when we moved that he would take care of all these things when living here, so I feel a bit disappointed he has left me to deal with it :( I will tell him when he gets home shortly.

Oh Blue...praying things will move on quickly for you and the solicitors will sort it....you are welcome here if you need a place to stay, we have room but doesn't solve problem of all your stuff etc!! But I do mean it if you need something.

TUO thanks - dd is doing really well this week - even an improvement in her skin which is great. Saw a programme on c4 the other night about a child with chronic psoriasis which looked so like dd's, about how his diet was changed to more oily and less sugary stuff and he was also put on fish oil, his psoriasis had a real change for the better in only a few weeks so going to try that next.

My friends ds and dil went in for their baby's birth and he was a little boy, they got to spend a little time with him. Please continue praying for the family :(

thanks mhd will keep that in mind! I'm sure in the worst case scenario we could put stuff into storage...
DH is dealing with it now... looking at rental law to see where we stand and will then contact our letting agent telling him we're staying put for now...

Glad your friends ds and dil were able to spend some time with their tiny boy! Praying for them and sending much strength and love to get through the coming days and weeks ahead!

Prayers please, my niece in hospital having her first baby! looking forward to meeting you baby S

Thank you God for a lovely day at the convent, although still wearing my 'L' plates! work is in progress.

Prayer for your niece and praise for you Sooz :)

Prayers as I have read through.

Sooz pleased it went well. Do you feel able to tell us about it?

I am wide awake and have been for hours. Please can I ask for prayers again for DD3's DLA appeal. Yesterday I received the "evidence" that the DWP has made its decision on. I can see why they have said she doesnt need it! After being really cross with them, its DD3s lovely hospital consultant who has thrown it all into question. I cant understand it. She has written stuff that is so totally untrue and sooooo contrary to what she said to us in August! I am so worried now because we will need to argue against her, a professional person. Plus I really like her and I just cannot understand why she has done this. Being cross with the faceless DWP was fine, now I am cross with someone who I like! Its just not me!
Tomorrow (MOnday) I am going to see a man at the CAB who is going to help us, so hopefully I will feel better about it all then. Please pray. I need to fight this for DD3, whose life is incredibly restricted.

Thank you GOd for the safe arrival of my great neice 'Sophia' xx

Lovely news Great Aunty Soozi welcome to baby Sophia

PA - oh no & for you. It's so much harder to be cross with a person rather than an organisation isn't it? Also if you had trust and like for a person as well. Hope you manage to speak to the cons & get her reasons for saying what she did.

Fairly good week here. Been for my annual eye check at Moorfields. No change to my sight (phew ) but I do have a pretty permanent case of allergic conjunctivitis. I'm on antibiotic drops with more as I need it from the GP. I'm not too upset, at least my sight is stable, that's definitely the main thing.

Reading & praying as I go xx

Lots of good news here: Jently - glad your sight is stable; MHD - good news about dd; Soozi - congratulations and welcome to the world, little Sophia.

Blue - praying for a smooth move now.

PA - prayers for your dd's DLA. I hope you get some answers from the consultant, but how very sad that you feel so let down by someone who knows her and knows how she has struggled.

Have just spoken to S. Thank you for your prayers. She sounds amazingly positive and well, which is really good. They think she'll 'get away with' (though this is stressful and painful enough, I know) a lumpectomy (which she has already had) and radiotherapy (still to come), and she feels and sounds really strong.

mils's cancer is back. on average it comes back after 2 1/2 yrs. it has been 6 months (less than) not sure of what happens next.

Prayers as I read through

ds woke screaming again. he spent the night in my bed. after howling whilst i ran round turning off. I was woken early by little knobbly knees in my back. he has had the strops this morning, paddying on the floor (not good in a flat), refusing to eat breakfast or wear shoes to nursery or walk along the road. he is a very unhappy boy. we are off to the drs on friday to get him checked out.

BES :( Praying for your mil.

thanks madhair. i think i will be able to join you in that now I have stopped swearing.

welcome sophia. what a fabulous name. one of my favourites!

Prayers.

Please also pray for DD's friend E. We saw her on Saturday and she looked so frail and tiny and pale, my DD towers over her. Also for her family, who have been through so much.

Mary praying for E now. It's such an awful awful condition :(

Welcome baby Sophia!

PA, Sorry to hear about the consultant being unhelpful. When I applied for DLA I gave my consultant a list of things they wanted to know and we went through it together so they got the specific information they needed - it is such a tick box system and if you don't score highly enough in their little computer minds there is no chance :( It's seriously flawed. But maybe it's just that the consultant didn't put the right kind of information down? Would she be amenable to you going through it togehter at all?

Mary - prayers for DD's friend 'E' must be tough for R aswell seeing her friend like that! xx

BES - prayers for your MIL and gosh prayers for your little boy and for yourself as you manage his stress/behaviours, do you know what triggers them? you really do go through the mill sweetie xx

TMI WARNING yay, a day off nursery and lots of walking and a very large early lunch in a cafe have done the trick and samples have finally been collected and delivered in time to be collected from the surgery. thank God!

how is everyone doing today? I am going to hunt out the torch for school science lessons, to see if we need to buy batteries (and tea from tesco)

sooz. behaviour is triggered partly by starting nursery and being shattered and partly by the change in routine of seeing daddy. he is extremely clingy since daddy left. there may also be some underlying issues too which I am hoping to discuss with the dr too.

Prayers all round.
Scary day here.
Radiotherapy planning day tomorrow after two delays to that date.
Urk

yay, another answer to prayer. the head has heard dd read and she now has books of the correct level. yay! he said the same thing about her reading ability as I did (areas of weakness)

good luck for tomorroww amber. praying for calm and no more delays!
