jan2011 · 13/05/2012 14:01

i feel completely worn out today, would be so grateful for prayers for strength.

JugglingWithTangentialOranges · 13/05/2012 14:23

Sorry you're feeling worn out today jan but glad you were able to have a good night out last night - that's really encouraging ?

Things gradually getting back on an even keel here with DH, and am starting my new job in Pre-School tomorrow. Please pray it goes well and I have enough energy for an afternoon with all those young children - plus beginning to get to know all my new colleagues.

Prayers for all of you too x

Heyyyho · 13/05/2012 19:32

But she is currently still unwell with something else, it is like that with her sadly as she still has health issues but v important that she was not infected. Thank you all for your prayers, still praying for you all.

Beautiful day today. Thank you for your prayers. I am quite emotional thinking about it. Smile

FoD and Bird, continuing to pray for you...

DO, how did the baptism go today? So glad you could be a part of it. I thought of you when dd2 was baptised this morning.

PA, how is your dd?

Heyyyho, thanks that your dd's test came back clear. Thanks too for amber's relaxing holiday, and for jan's good night out.

Praying for your first day at work tomorrow, Juggling.

And praying too for BES and for everyone on this thread. I was thinking today about Notevenamousie (she just randomly popped into my head, as it were). Does anyone have any news of her? Praying that she's OK.

DutchOma · 14/05/2012 09:57

The baptism was really lovely. Bob made it through the service but got taken straight home so he could crash in his own bed, I went to the house and came back after lunch. All the other children were wonderfully behaved, but I didn't see much of them.
I'd been asked to do the Scripture reading which was so lovely. Like TUO I get quite emotional about it.

birdofthenorth · 14/05/2012 11:27

Sadly my scan this morning showed I have lost the baby Sad Thank you for all your prayers though, I do appreciate it.

Prayers for you all, too.

MaryBS · 14/05/2012 11:30

So sorry to hear that birdofthenorth, hugs and prayers for you at this time...

FriendofDorothy · 14/05/2012 11:51

Oh birds I am so so sorry. ((hugs))

madhairday · 14/05/2012 13:04

Oh bird, I am so very sorry. :(

Praying for your nephew, ginger, how very sad for him.

Please pray for dd who has SATS this week and is very stressed.

Praying for all of you.

DutchOma · 14/05/2012 13:23

Prayers for all, specially BOtN, so sad even if it is an early miss.
Also for MHD's dd, far too much pressure on these exams.

lostmywellies · 14/05/2012 14:26

Have been lurking and praying. Praying particularly for bird, today, and juggling in the first day of the new job!

I have the minor operation tomorrow that I mentioned a while back. Looking forward to it, actually - a day off, guilt-free, to relax, read and sleep! What could be better? :o That's how exciting life gets for me these days!

thejaffacakesareonme · 14/05/2012 14:51

Prayers for all especially Bird.

First day went well, everyone very friendly and helpful. Lovely to be with children again. Thank you all for your prayers - perhaps you could pray I will begin to learn everyone's names this week !

So sorry to hear of your loss bird Sad

Prayers for all, and thanks again for yours for me x

PositiveAttitude · 14/05/2012 20:18

I am glad it went well, Juggling

Prayers for everyone else on here.

Thank you for your prayers for dd2. She was told today that her first scan showed something on her brain that should not be there. They did another MRI this afternoon and she is now sat waiting for the results. She is feeling and sounding a lot better today, which is good. Please pray this "something" is "nothing" IYSWIM! Hmm

DutchOma · 14/05/2012 20:56

We have an amzing God. Praying that something is nothing PA

Tuo · 14/05/2012 21:21

Praying, praying, praying...

... for bird - I'm so sorry for your loss;
... for PA's dd - praying for a good result from the scan;
... for MHD's dd - for a stress-free SATs week;
... for DO and Bob - thanks for a good day yesterday;
... for *Juggling - thanks for a good start to the new job, and memory prayers for the names;
... for jan - thanks for the wonder of watching our children learn to do new things;
... for lost - for your operation to go well and for a nice relaxing day;
... for gingercurl's nephew;
... and for everyone.

I've had this on the brain today, so I thought I'd share it (and maybe then I'll stop humming it!):

"Breathe on me, breath of God,
Fill me with life anew,
That I may love what Thou dost love,
And do what Thou wouldst do."
