Please may I ask for prayers....having the most awful day and trying to cope with it at work without giving any hint of how shaken I feel...

Prayers for everyone else too..

Oh Amber - praying now for you.

Praying as I read through. Have been mainly lurking lately. I'll be away now for a while, as I'm giving up MN for lent. I'll be remembering you all in my prayers.

oh amber... are you feeling any better now work is over? ((()))

hi Amber i hope you got through ok its so hard to keep going sometimes.
please pray for me today i had a rough night last night and we have marriage counselling today, i just hope it goes well and i can cope with it.

Thanks...feel a bit better today.

Much prayer for each of you

Glad you're a bit better today Amber. You're a wonderful person! :)

We will miss you ginger and blue...

Prayers as I have been reading through. Especially been praying for Mousie and Issy today.

Just booked the flights for July 17th. It has made it all seem a bit real now!! Mixture of huge excitement and apprehension of leaving DD1, 2 & 3. My heart will break, I know, but I also know that I am doing what God has asked us to do, so i need to trust and give everything to Him.

Me and DH having a bit of a rocky few days ATM

Now that the DCs have gone back to school after half-term DH is being a bit "What do you do all day ?"

A job for me would really help to settle things between us I think - am waiting to hear from one possibility after interview on Tuesday.

Have seen another possibility for TA in Reception class of local school (where friend works) which looks quite interesting too.

Praying for you all too, especially any with similar relationship worries x

Hi all - I've been lurking here for the last week or so, and having engaged in another thread, I thought I'd better cone and say hello properly. Haven't been around for a while, and have name-changed (used to be MrsCadwallader, don't know if anyone remembers me? Sorry for long absence....)

Reading through and praying. Nice to see some familiar 'faces', and new ones too :) Won't attempt to namecheck everyone, but am praying, especially for those who are ill and suffering - may God continue to hold your hand.

DO last time I was here your DH was in hospital - it looks as though he has had a diagnosis now? I hope you are managing to look after yourself as well as him.

Things are ok here, I am still studying (more exams coming up next week) and still busy with my 3 DSs (all at school now). Still struggling a bit with my spiritual life - stress and lack of time mean that I feel I am not giving myself to God in the way that I 'should' be, which is difficult. I will also be starting work in September with a big corporate law firm - I am slightly worried that I have sold my soul but at the same time I feel 'led' to where I now am so I am trying to keep faith that this is all part of God's plan for me, even if I am struggling to 'see' Him at the moment.

Anyway.... sorry for the ramble! Nice to 'see' everyone - better get back to my revision now!

Hi AP - hope you can feel closer to God this Lent, and all the best for your studying and new job. It sounds fab !

Thanks Juggling :)

AP/Mrs C! Great to see you, I have often wondered how you were, and missed you on the thread. Congrats on the new job, I am sure God is leading you there for a purpose :) You sound so busy, hope you can get some time to yourself/with God. Lovely to heave you back with us :)

Juggling, praying for a good job for you, the TA one sounds good. Sorry dh is not supportive about being at home etc - as I know even when dc are at school there is plenty to do!

I need to get motivated and off MN (writing my book) but am spectacularly bad at motivation.

Please can you pray for a friend whose mum died last night and has to tell the dc their nanna has died. Thanks.

A job for me would really help to settle things between us I think

oh dear.

(tries not to channel anyfucker)

I too put my "relationships thread" hat on when I read that. :) But you want to get a job for your own sake rather than just to appease dh, juggling? I do sympathise as my relationship with dh is always rather rocky and recently has been one of those "can't see any future" times.

mhd - :( How difficult to be coping with one's own new grief and having to hold it together to be there for her dcs.

Thought I'd pop in. My big consultant appointment was on Monday.
They don't know what has caused it, I have no diagnosis, but I do have a treatment option of more IV immunoglobulins to keep it at bay. And the damage already done is permanent, my nerves are dead.
I'm finding it hard to cope with, I think I hoped there would be a chance of recovery of sensation but there's not.

On the positive side I have a wheelchair now to get out and about, I went to work for an hour and a half today, and am going to get the chance to visit expat and her dd with leukaemia next week. I was there the night she was diagnosed but have been too ill to go since. I'm looking forward to seeing her.

I pray for you all as I can't do much else right now.

oh weegie. ((())) prayers

We need to both be working to balance the family finances.

My being out of work ATM is putting additional strain on our relationship.

Thoughts and prayers that understand this are welcome.

DH responded badly to me not getting this latest job possibility (found out yesterday after interview on Tuesday)

Need encouragement to apply for next possibility (TA in Reception class)

Spoke to my sister last night on the phone which was good. And DD(12) has been great too.

Feeling quite upset about everything today - especially DH not being very kind or encouraging.

Thinking of you this morning too Weegie

So kind of you to be visiting your friend and praying for others ATM.
You are an inspiration.

I have a date tonight with a Christian man. First date since separating from my cheating ExH in October 2009.

Praying for weegie - I understand how upsetting this news is about the permanent damage and well done for seeing some positives in it! I hope your friend is in good form - I'm sure your visit will do her lots of good! Like juggling says, you are amazing in your concern for others, when you are facing such difficulties yourself.

juggling, that's a shame you are under some pressure and feeling unsupported by DH in this. The job market is horrendous, so prayers for you to find something.

teaandcakeplease - woot woot! No wibbles, just excited nerves - hope it goes well.

Prayers for everyone else.

I have heard from my friend that Caline, the lady we prayed for a little while ago, has unfortunately died. Please pray for her family.

Thanks SweetestThing - You say the sweetest things - I really appreciate that

Prayers for all.

weegie that sounds incredibly tough, I'm so sorry you didn't get better news.

juggling I can well understand the pressure you feel. Life can be hard work even when everything is going to plan, but when things become uncertain and out of your control, it knocks even the strongest relationship. Prayers that you find your way through this.

TACP how was the date?
