Sounds very familiar jan - inability to discuss anything even remotely difficult in a reasonable way ? Sad

My DH did plan his day out with friends on shared hobby, and said he'd try to be back by 5.45 so I might be able to get to church this evening - am meant to be reading something.

SESthebrave · 06/05/2012 13:30

Reading and praying....

hi SES, BES

Juggling i really hope dh is back in time for you to get to church! mine didn't say when he would be back. im trying to motivate myself to get out for a walk here :)

JugglingWithTangentialOranges · 06/05/2012 14:27

We've just been out to the park which did us good. DS took skate-board and they both enjoyed the playground too (even if DD is 13 !)
Also had toasties in the cafe, so that will keep us going.
DD is meant to be finding a sleeping bag and packing a few bits for her sleep-over now. Better go and encourage her as she gets a bit distracted by the telly etc. Her friend's just phoned so that's good Smile

Heyyyho · 06/05/2012 21:28

Hello everyone,

I don't post on here v often and I hope it's ok to be this direct! Smile I have been finding my way back to my Christian faith lately and esp in the light of my DD who is 5, and what she has been going through..
I was wondering if you would remember her in your prayers. She has a variety of health issues which of late have been quite bad and affecting her well being and quality of life. I really want her to get though what she is suffering at the moment and would be so grateful if you would spare a thought for her in your prayers. Thank you.

blackeyedsusan · 06/05/2012 21:49

hello heyyyho!

Tuo · 06/05/2012 23:04

Welcome Heyyyho... I'm sorry to hear that your dd has health problems. I will remember her in my prayers. Good luck with your own journey back to faith, too. I 'found my way back' a couple of years ago and I haven't looked back.

Heyyyho · 07/05/2012 08:27

Thank you Smile she is my world really.

birdofthenorth · 07/05/2012 08:57

Morning all. I am a practising Christian and lurk on here sometimes and pray for you all. I wonder if I could gatecrash this morning and ask a quick prayer of you. I'm 8 weeks pg but bleeding this morning and in hospital now awaiting tests. I miscarried at 11.5 weeks in November so this is feeling very familar Sad I have a beautiful daughter so extremely blessed but would welcome your prayers, either that my baby be ok, or that I find strength to understand God's plan for me. Thank you so much. Prayers for you all, too.

PositiveAttitude · 07/05/2012 09:20

Welcome to Heyyyho and birdofthenorth. Be assured of my prayers for you both.

thejaffacakesareonme · 07/05/2012 09:23

Hi Heyyyho and Bird. Prayers.

amberlight · 07/05/2012 09:26

Welcome from me too Smile

Praying through the situations...

I need prayers for Not Being So Stupid after collapsing at the disability spirituality conference thingy after working two 14 hr shifts. I can't seem to get it into my brain that I've just had a year of very tough cancer treatment and can't do all the things I used to be able to do. Gah!

DutchOma · 07/05/2012 11:04

Amber you just haen't got that sort of brain, so no good expecting anything like that from it. But we love you dearly, brain or no brain.

Welcome Heyyyho and BirdoftheNorth, your daughter is the same age as my little grandson, so it wrings my heart to think of her having health problems.
BotN I too had two miscarriages at an early stage, many moons ago now, but I well remember the feeling of total bewilderment at what God could possibly be up to. I too had a son but very much wanted another baby, which eventually I did.

JugglingWithTangentialOranges · 07/05/2012 11:36

I've never had a M/C myself but I sometimes think we are all so amazingly made that sometimes some of the things might go wrong in the making. I have quite liberal, unconventional beliefs, and sometimes imagine God might say "I'm so sorry, I did my best but something must have not gone right. When you're ready we'll have to try again" It must be so hard x Sad

No idea if this sort of thought could be any help to anyone - it's probably just my own idiosynchratic thinking.

Thinking of you though bird and keeping you in my prayers.

A warm welcome to you too Heyyyho and thinking of your DD x

madhairday · 07/05/2012 11:53

Oh Amber - what are we going to do with you. Grin as DO said, we love you, as you are. I do hope you are recovering now, I know it has been very hard for you. Would be very interested to hear about the conference if you have some energy at some point - just what I am writing on. Prayers for your recovery and some rest and reassurance.

Welcome Bird and Heyyyho and prayers for you.

Been away for the weekend to a meet up of people with my disease which was as usual very wonderful so very tired indeed now but grateful for it. Will read through this properly and pray for you all.

madhairday · 07/05/2012 11:55

I had a very early M/C once when trying for dc2. I was always comforted by the thought I would meet this person one day.

Juggling I like your thoughts on it too. I love that we all have different forms and variants of our belief but are so unified in it all. :)

birdofthenorth · 07/05/2012 15:32

Thank you all for your lovely prayers. It looks like I am miscarrying again but won't know for sure until they can scan me on Wednesday. I am home from hospital now though and cuddling my DD Sad

amberlight · 07/05/2012 16:16

amberlight · 07/05/2012 20:53

Jan, I'm sort of reflecting on all of it at the moment. Tired. Looking forwards to holiday later in the week, that's for sure.
