All welcome to join or post a prayer request. Thinking especially of Expat at this time.

That God would make a way, where there is no way, help him to afford the court fees and that he will finally have the closure; contact with his children and a maintenance agreement in place that is fair to him, his ex wife and to the children. For justice. It?s 6 years since divorce due to her infidelity and it is so hard for him. The children and ex wife live in another Country and the legal system there is very different and he barely sees his children due to her.

PatsyPlusOne - Her friend who has lost her 11 year old son to cancer and the 8 year old brother left behind missing him

For her DD who has been removed from the sen register despite her needing help for a lifelong condition. DD?s IEP was reviewed without parental involvement, contrary to the sen code of practice, that God will be with BES as she gets official with the school and that her DD would get the help and support she needs and that the head teacher takes BES?s concerns seriously and stops fobbing her off
SESthebrave - For the daughter of a friend from church, who had been sectioned and is now back home with her 2 DS?s and really struggling with depression and her mum who is travelling long distances to support her and the children at this difficult time.
For SES?s friend who had an Ovarian cyst removed which was malignant and has now had to have a hysterectomy, for her husband and her to feel peace at this difficult time

Hello everyone. Just popping in to say that I am still going on - 30 weeks pregnant now and feeling like a heifer but generally happy! Hope everyone else is ok x

DutchOma · 11/10/2012 07:31

What a lot we have to be grateful for.

madhairday · 11/10/2012 09:27

Lovely to hear from you, FoD and wow at being 30 weeks. Praise God :)

Blue, definitely praying for all those things, the church really should have got their act together. Hope they find someone for the school club, but try not to let it stress you too much.

Momey, hope and pray the work on the car is really cheap and easy for you and there is no stress involved.

Praying for all on this thread.

Still very clogged up lungs, tired of breathing., sometimes I wish I could just have a little break from it...never mind Grin

amillionyears · 11/10/2012 12:04

ooh,you are over here as well madhairday!
Can I put in my link here please and hope it is self explanatory.
My post is near the end. Sorry I do not know how to just link 1 post.

Bluetinkerbell · 11/10/2012 12:29

Lots to be thankful for indeed! :)
Had my consultant appointment this morning with scan and review, scan was all fine, baby measuring perfect for gestation 34+4 weeks (even with my small bump Wink) Sonographer still couldn't be 100% sure of girl, although she said she saw something that looked like girly bits...
Saw registrar afterwards, think my consultant was busy. He hadn't bothered reading my notes so was a bit insensitive... But most importantly, I was released to midwife led care and got the go ahead for a home birth :) very very pleased!
Now still trying to sort out the silly whooping cough vaccine with my doctor's surgery...

CharlotteCollinsislost · 11/10/2012 15:57

Yay you've got the home birth you wanted! :)

DontstepontheMomeRaths · 11/10/2012 17:57

Oh that's wonderful new Blue Smile

Yes lots to be thankful for, my car cost £139. It could have been a lot more, but I don't really have £139. So I'm a tad poor now until tax credits process my new claim I placed on Monday Sad I will no doubt have a fee by my bank for going into an unauthorised overdraft though Sad

good news blue.

oh mome.

shieldbug · 11/10/2012 21:09

Hello to anybody that remembers me from a couple of years back. I've been too busy for MN since then (baby, PhD etc.), but have really appreciated this thread in the past.
Anyway, please can you pray for a dear Christian family who have lost their youngest daughter (Uni age) to an overdose this morning (not sure if accidental or otherwise as yet). Dh and I are still in shock. Thank you.

DutchOma · 11/10/2012 21:46

Can't say the name rings much of a bell Shieldbug, but certainly I will join you in prayer for your friends in their grief. What a terrible thing to happen.

FriendofDorothy · 11/10/2012 22:44

I could do with some prayer tomorrow. A client has made a complaint about something I allegedly said to her. She is lying and please pray my boss understands that and takes it into consideration.

DontstepontheMomeRaths · 11/10/2012 22:45

Oh FoD that's horrid. Praying Sad

OP posts:
Tuo · 12/10/2012 00:44

Another flying visit. It's late, I'm tired, and I'm off to London in the morning (just for the day).

FoD - lovely to see you. Prayng for your work situation and for your pregnancy.

Hello Shieldbug - praying for your friends and for all who knew their dd: what a terribly sad thing.

Praying also for MHD to be able to breathe more easily and for Momey to find the money she needs for the car.

So pleased that you'll be allowed your home birth, Blue.

redwhiteandblueeyedsusan · 12/10/2012 14:55

oh no, here we go again... time for the school run... and rain.. and is it nearrly bedtime yet?

madhairday · 12/10/2012 16:49

Prayers, FoD, how horrible for you.

Praying for everyone. Off for the weekend to see my SIL and BIL so looking forward to that :)

FriendofDorothy · 12/10/2012 19:47

Well hopefully the woman in question isn't going to make a complaint but I need to wait until next week to find out.

redwhiteandblueeyedsusan · 12/10/2012 21:38

bloody hormones, bloody plimsolls, bloody school. and tonight it is all too much and all I want to do is have a good howl.

DutchOma · 12/10/2012 21:48

Can I pass on a prayer request from Cupofteaplease, whose dd Beatrice is poorly and in HDU.

redwhiteandblueeyedsusan · 12/10/2012 22:37

ah, finishing my tea, a bit of peace, and a virtual tea and hug have helped a bit.

having been in "nothing has happened mode" /coping by being busy mode, it is beginning to hit and little things are upsetting. I miss my dad. I miss the support of my mum. I hate having to be the grown up all the time.

DontstepontheMomeRaths · 13/10/2012 07:39

Prayers for Beatrice and for BES Sad

OP posts:
CharlotteCollinsislost · 13/10/2012 09:02

BES :(

Good news here - my friend who got out of prison recently has been told he's allowed to stay in this country and be near his dcs. A huge load off his mind. Praise God!

Tuo · 13/10/2012 12:49

That's really good news, Charlotte.

Prayers from me, too, for Bea and for BES.

I went to the dentist expecting root canal treatment, and he took another look at the problematic tooth and decided it had to come out. I had a total wobble (I'm a bit phobic) when he ran through the risks (including that it might break and he might have to drill into the bone and even then might not be able to get it out and might have to send me to hospital), but, thank God, it was unproblematic in the end. So now I am sitting here with a mouthful of gauze and half my face numb, waiting for the pain to kick in. The weirdest thing is that the inside of my right nostril has gone numb, so breathing in and out feels very odd. Confused

HaveALittleFaith · 13/10/2012 13:42

Please pray - I'm having some spotting. We're on our way to OOH but obviously I'm quite nervous.

Tuo · 13/10/2012 13:52

Praying, Faith!
