Hello - not posted for ages, but wanted to come on here tonight to join in the heartfelt praying for little Aillidh and expat. Praying for God's healing love to enfold them and for his strength to be with thiem during this awful time.

Prayers for everyone else too. x

cloutiedumpling · 27/06/2012 22:41

Oops. I was jaffa and then namechanged to tunnocksteacakes. I've now realised that there is another poster called tunnocksteacake (I always thought one wasn't enough) so I've decided to namechange again. Sorry for the the confusion.

Lurking and praying as usual.

Has anyone heard from PA? When does she set off on her travels?

redwhiteandblueeyedsusan · 27/06/2012 23:36

prayers for Aillidh

DutchOma · 28/06/2012 07:52

I think PA is in her last week at work this week and is going on the 17th July.

redwhiteandblueeyedsusan · 28/06/2012 07:55

another bad bad night...

MaryBS · 28/06/2012 07:56

Thanks TUO, there's still a part of me that wishes I'd taken it on, and if they do find some money then the post will be advertised - but as I said to them, if they'd advertised would they still have offered it to me, without any proof of whether I could do the job? Hmm...

madhairday · 28/06/2012 14:25

Praying for you all and esp for Aillidh

NCIS · 28/06/2012 19:19

Don't know if you remember, but I posted in April's thread asking for you prayers for my open university student paramedic application.
Well, today I heard that prayers have been answered and I have a place on the course, it's going to be a long four years working full time as well but I am so grateful and looking forward to it.
Thanks for all your prayers.

gingercurl · 28/06/2012 20:24

Yay! Thank you God and thank you NCIS for letting us know. I wish you all the best in your studies.

Praying.

JugglingWithTangentialOranges · 28/06/2012 20:43

Oh, well done NCIS Smile

Thanks for telling us about it, and thanks for doing it - that's such a vocation Thanks

NCIS · 28/06/2012 21:13

When I posted I quoted what my late Mother used to say' If thy presence go not with me, carry me not up hence' and I really feel His presence by my side and pray that He will be with me and guide my steps on the journey forward.

Thank you God and of course all of you lovely people.

JugglingWithTangentialOranges · 28/06/2012 22:17

That's a lovely prayer, NCIS Smile

amberlight · 29/06/2012 07:26

Praying for all.
Please may I ask for continued prayers for dh and I in our small business. We've kept it going through the recession and my year and a bit of breast cancer treatment, but we're now battling an individual who is trying very hard to damage the business so that we give them money to go away. I'm just so tired, and now we have to go to court to stop them after months of trying reason and sensibleness with them...it's got so bad we've even had to call the police after them turning up at our workplace...and we SO don't need this in our lives after what we've just been through.

DutchOma · 29/06/2012 07:49

Oh Amber, many prayers.
NCIS I googled that text and it is Exodus 33:15, which comes in the middle of a rather wonderful passage dealing with 'walking with God'
It says "I will go with you, for I am pleased with you and I know you by name."
That's rather good to hear, isn't it?
Continued payers for Aillidh, who appears to be holding her own.

HaveALittleFaith · 29/06/2012 08:54

Continuing to pray. I'm really pleased to hear Aillidh is holding her own. I'm amazed at the support and prayers from the MNetters, it's awesome. Praying for you amber, that sounds horrible :(

DH and I are struggling with our faith a bit. He's wondering if God's there whereas I'm feeling like He's not that fussed about us! We've had a rough time the last few years and especially the last six months. It feels like we lurch from one crisis to the next! I think we need to ask church leaders to pray with us but it's bringing myself to ask you know? Prayer to get back on track would be appreciated.

madhairday · 29/06/2012 10:36

Faith, certainly praying things will feel more settled for you with faith matters and with al you have been going through. Praying you'll know God's steady comfort.

Praying for Amber and dh with the business.

Praying, praying, praying for little Aillidh. I'm asking for a miracle, Lord. We all are.

It is incredible all this support from MNetters. What a wonderful place this is.

jan2011 · 30/06/2012 18:22

praying for all the requests

please can i also ask for prayer - i start training tomorrow for my new volunteer job its 10 - 5 and i hope i will have the strength as i feel quite run down. its also been years since ive worked that many hours! thanks

DontstepontheMomeRaths · 30/06/2012 20:12

Please please pray. DS has lost his comforters, not one but both Sad He sleeps with them every night and I've managed to placate him with DD's doggy as a replacement (bless her for sharing) but I think he may have left them at the swimming pool changing rooms, I tried to call but their reception is now closed and the kids had to go to bed. Pray they turn up and DS somehow sleeps well Sad

HaveALittleFaith · 30/06/2012 20:32

Oh no! I'm praying it turns up tomorrow and he sleeps week tonight.

Thanks to those who've been praying, I'm having a much better day today. I've pushed myself to out worship music on in the car to get me synced back in.

redwhiteandblueeyedsusan · 01/07/2012 13:22

oh hell. just been headbutted really hard by ds on the way to time out for hurting his sister. I had his arms and body held away as he was trying to bite and scratch. headbutting was his only other option. I need to find a new restraint technique to prevent injury to both of us.

I am a bit weeepy as it was a shock.

got to go and let him out in a mo.

DontstepontheMomeRaths · 01/07/2012 14:55

He's a wild one. Maybe you should Di a self defence course and purchase zip ties Wink

Sorry that's not funny is it Blush

DS doggy turned up but bunny is AWOL still.

DontstepontheMomeRaths · 01/07/2012 14:55

Do not Di

lostmywellies · 01/07/2012 21:29

Ooh, headbutts can be nasty. Glad DS wasn't totally bereft for tonight's bedtime, MomeRaths. Congratulations for the Talk Roundup mention, btw! Wink

Hoping to move house at the end of the month (just down the road), but have lots of guests before then because it's summer holidays overseas already and this is the only time we can catch up with family living outside the UK. Am also having to invest a lot of energy in relationship with DH atm. So may not be around so much for the next little while! Will still be thinking of you all and prayig as I pack boxes. :)

redwhiteandblueeyedsusan · 01/07/2012 21:55

we have seen the olympic torch. we have held the olympic torch. I am thrilled!

good luck with the move lost.

DontstepontheMomeRaths · 01/07/2012 22:38

Talk round up mention? I deleted the e-mail without reading it. Must go and look! Smile
