Prayers continuing...reading but so rushed off feet at work trying to keep the business going = apologies for not responding.

yes thank you DO lots of problems but god is bigger than all of our problems. reminds me also what ive been reading from 2 corinthians, that in although there is lots of suffering, there is lots of comfort to make up for it....

thats great juggling good progress

Keeping praying for you all. Off to New Wine on saturday (yay!) so busy sorting for that, hoping for weather to last and lungs to hold out - fairly dodgy atm.

It's our 15th wedding anniversary today so we're going out for lunch as a family to celebrate, too disorganised to sort babysitter for a romantic night out tonight, but suspect we may quaff some champagne once the dcs are in bed He has brought me this beautiful necklace and earrings set, in crystal as apparently crystal is 15 years, I bought him nothing but a card, feel very bad, but he won't have it and says he's impossible to buy for anyway (true) and me being fairly well is enough! bless him :)

Congratulations mhd - hope you have a very happy day !

Have a lovely day MHD congtratulations and your DH sounds like a star!!

Please pray for us here. DH is absolutely loving it. Can't get enough of everything new etc. DS and DD4 have had their struggles this week and have both said to me at one time or another that they hate it! We always said that if any of us hated it we would not continue, but we do need to give it a go and push through some bad times first, we know that. I think it is all made so much worse by the heat....so, so, so, so hot and humid. and all the mosquito bites on sweaty bodies is not nice. We know God wanted us here, so please pray that we ALL settle and feel happy and at home here. Also please pray for DD1, DD2 And DD3 at home, especially DD1 who is really struggling with being "mum & dad-less".

wow mhd! awesome. praying pa

Praying PA. Please e.mail me if there is anything we can send you apart from our love and prayers.

Love and prayers is all we need, thank you DO!

Hi PA, adding my prayers for you to those of others.

Whichever way the path continues from here I had the thought whilst praying for you that you will be blessed for following God's call across the world. Even for seeking God with all your hearts. The story of Isaac taking his son up the mountain suddenly came to mind (though I find that story troubling in many ways) I have no idea how things will pan out for you all, but interesting that after Isaac got to the top of the mountain with Jacob, God said "OK, you can go back down again now !" But I know you also have a strong feeling that God has some tasks for you whilst you're there ?

Have DS and DD4 enjoyed any of the new things they've been seeing and experiencing this week ? Can you try some new things together and see if DH's enthusiasm might be catching ? How are your girls back home - I hope they're doing OK ? I'd find that hard to go so far away, but they'll be fine.
( Hope I haven't just made it harder for you x )

Praying PA :)

Just back from lunch out and heat and wine = v woopppzy

oops

PA- assurance of prayers. It is still v early days but must be very hard to try to do the right thing by everyone. The right thing by God will pan out though.

MHD - congratulations! How wonderful your DH sounds :)

Hello all, just popping in. All very busy here, but we're now moving next Wednesday, so looking forward to that. It finally seems real!

Wanted to update you all a few days ago as we had some family and friends round and a quiet evening of 4 of us led to some incredible conversations that just had to have been divinely inspired - sooo relevant to all the stuff I've been thinking/worrying about with H recently.

Anyway, cut a long story short, he now knows that I've thought about leaving but want to stay. It was quite a shock for him when it finally sunk in. He doesn't really understand what the problem is and the more I try to explain it, the less I understand it too! Especially as he is suddenly behaving so much better: considerate, more complimentary less critical, spending more time with the kids.

But he won't consider going to counselling. And it's hard to believe that he'll be able to sustain these changes without some work on his attitudes and thought patterns. But there is cause to hope (which is more than I could say about five days ago).

Glad to here it lost

All the best for your move x

Oh, and I'm going away with friends for a long weekend tomorrow - to the Lakes

Please pray that it's a refreshing and inspiring break, that we all get on, that the sun shines - at least some of the time, and that the DC's and DH are OK at home without me !

On holiday, so forgive brevity. Thinking of you all and praying. More very soon.

(PA you need Avon's 'Skin so Soft' - it really works to repel mossies. Can someone send you some?)

cars form handed to the dr's secretary. one more step along the road to assessment. I hope that they see fit to do something for him. an assessment that says at least yes or no.

a busy day today at the hospital, watching diggers, museum, shopping, walk home frorm town, library, chip shop and picnic in the garden, followed by the children having drinks and fruit whilst watching the washing machine. that after a night "camping" in the living room with over excited children.

worried about the olympics on saturday. getting there and then stopping ds throwing/biting/kicking/hitting/scratching entertaining ds and dd.

good news lost. let's hope it is more than a temporarry reprieve. mr mad hair is the example of how you should be treated.

all the best lost for moving - its great to have that hope :)

juggling ohhh a weekend at hte lakes sounds totally DIVINE! I WANNA COME!

Susan i hope your busy day goes well and you enjoy it even through the stress and excitement - its amazing to be able to be getting to the Olympics, what are you going to see? maybe we'll have to think of some creative ideas for the dc's to bring to keep them entertained.

i had the pastor out and told him everything that was goiing on with the marriage. he was very supportive and told me to encourage dh to talk to him for support (without letting on that he knew id talked to him) and that he could have a heart to heart with him about whats right in a relationship and whats not. he also said for me to take him out for dinner sometime soon and talk to him properly - lay down some boundaries and be clear that i will not be tolerating it if he oversteps them, that things need to change otherwise i will be going. i want to save my marriage, i really want him to realise and change, so please pray it all helps.

NEW PRAYER THREAD AS THIS ONE IS ALMOST FULL

Hope I did ok BES/ DutchOMA?

Feeling very very low the past couple of days.

H got back together with OW although she won't leave her husband but H seems happy to share her until she changes her mind! When I told him I wanted to separate he was surprised but is happy about it because it gives him more freedom to see OW. Still living together at the moment but he's not around much. Such a mess.

I keep getting weak moments wishing everything could be like it used to be. So sad for DS with such a dramatic change in his dad. Does anyone know how long after something like this you start feeling better? I have been feeling ill every day since I found out what was going on and that's well over a month.

I can't see a way through this or how I can have a happy future or how to deal with the threats re DS, he is not a young child, he is starting to get independent and has always admired and done whatever his dad says.

Oh Kaykat come to the new thread and post click here: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/philosophy_religion_spirituality/1527121-Christian-Prayer-Thread

I'll answer you on there
