Lord, in Your mercy, hear our prayers.

Hello - was Sudka - fancied a name change!!
Thank you for your prayers for tomorrow - I am meeting my biological mother for the first time and I don't know which way it will go.
I am nervous, excited, scared and all the emotions that I can think of all rolled into one!
In church on Sunday morning, one of the sentences in the sermon got me thinking - 'he who was lost, is now found, and we shall rejoice'. Found it all a bit emotional with it being mother's day as well!
I do so hope that the sentence sums up tomorrow, but we shall see!!
Please prayer that I will keep strong!

the solar system is not complicted. google. look at pictures. copy the colour with tissue paper make cirlcle big or small depending on size of picture on google.

google is a wonderful thing!

I am hoping that the solar system is more acceptable than the periodic table

Hello dippy, wow, that sounds a huge day for you. Certainly praying.

Keeping prayers going here

Prayers for tomorrow Dippy.

Hello to everyone. Power cut here, so I cant see the keyboard and the power on the laptop is just about to run out. Only option is an early night really!! Lets hope it's back before the morning.

Hello all, just popped in looking for jan and noticed that my name is still in the OP. Thanks for still praying; it feels like years since I was on here last but is probably only a month or two!

Just to update you; on Sunday I told H that I want us to separate. He acted the victim a lot and tried some passive-aggressive guilt-tripping about my selfish decision... but has gone on the work trip he had planned, so all is now peaceful here. I felt very peaceful about telling him (it was unpleasant but felt totally the right thing to do) and sustained by God. My pastor has recently moved on to a new church, but a woman on the leadership team is proving herself to be totally understanding. So I'm thankful for all that.

I'm mostly concerned about the dcs as over time it is becoming more apparent how he has also affected them. Please pray for them as they adjust (as yet we haven't told them, but it won't be long now).

Thank you, friends. I will come back to this thread in the future, but am just too caught up in my own problems at the moment!

Praying for you Charlotte x

hugs charlotte. I hope that your dh does not cause too much stress and emotion.

i am a bit stressed out by having no water for several hours, I aas fine hile e had no water but have cried in relief now it is back. the man got reaally stressed s it waas not working and things ere stuck nd would not fit. i have payed next to the hole whilst talking to my frriend and it seems to have worked, so thank God! lovely neighbour caame and knocked to say it was back too. I now have to steel myself to flush the loo and turn on taps... with all those bangs and splurts

Can I ask for some prayer please? I am really struggling to not be sick this morning and I haven't even got to the GP surgery for my glucose tolerance test yet.

Hope its still working OK BES and you are less stressed.

Prayers Room for you... and for you also Charlotte. Prayers for today Dippyegg.

For all in need of prayer....

I've arrived at GP's without vomiting! Now I just need to tolerate the lucozade!

xxx

Oooo, I feel like I have some virtual company in the waiting room, Mary I don't know how but my half litre of lucozade is now in and I think it's time to read a rubbish mag write a Bible study.

Would people pray for DH today please? He is leading the evening service for the first time tonight and we have a very famous speaker coming. Nothing like a bit of pressure. I'm sure he will be fab. Specific prayer that he is able to lead well, speak coherently and confidently (he has an accent that sometimes people struggle with) and that our children will not try and mob him when they return from kids' groups would be appreciated

Prayers for all of that. Prayers of thanks that you made it to the surgery Littleone, not sure what half a litre of Lucozade is all about, but there you go.

Test all done! DO I was having a glucose tolerance test so I had to fast for 12 hours, have a blood test, drink the lucozade, wait two hours and then have another blood test. They are testing for gestational diabetes.

Hope all the tests go well, Room, LOL at being there virtually with you, hope it helped!

I quite like the idea of the children mobbing your DH - just think what an impression of love and inclusion that gives, Room :o. Can we ask who the famous person is?

We recently had a retired priest move into the village, and I am conscious of the fact he was one of my tutors during Reader training. Our vicar is also conscious of his status too, because on Ash Wednesday, she told him to "turn away from Christ" rather than "turn away from sin". Sometimes a bit of "going wrong" does everyone some good, we are only human :o. Prayers anyway that it all goes well :).

Just wanted to share this, found it and printed it off for encouragement when I need it (ignore the web address, not a joke):

Can I just ask something? On Sunday I am preaching on Philippians 3.4b-14, and I will speak about the goal, and keeping our eyes on the goal. I've been feeling pretty low recently, and feel I've taken my eyes off that goal. That "Trust God one day at a time" I posted below I find helpful for me. What I was thinking was, maybe I could print off a few copies, mention it in my sermon, as something being helpful for keeping our eyes on that Goal. I've emailed my vicar, see what she thinks, but what do you lot think?

prayers needed here even

oh heck. I made a bit of mess of tea time and was a bit late. (adding an extra walk into the schedule becausse ds was getting stressed at the end of school did not help. possibly because there were two teachers today and no warning for him.) we have had screams because I would not let him do his homework. he has thrown a pencil and it narrowly missed dd's eye... and was sent to time out. a couple of spilled drinks this morning and ds getting himself locked in the playpen repeatedly, requiring me to walk through from the kitchen to release him (he likes to crawl in it to hide.. today he was playing crystal maze) and I am a bit stressed anad tearful.

Hugs and prayers BES. Sounds like he got overloaded, but its so hard for you :(

Popping in quickly with prayers for all. Feeling very overwhelmed with work stuff at the moment, but you are in my thoughts. Particularly pleased to see an update from Charlotte.

Love and prayers to all.

Just popping in here quickly too. So pleased to see you Charlotte, and thinking of you as you are taking this step - you've been so brave. Praying for continuous peace.

Praying for you BES in your struggles daily.

Have an incredibly busy few days and feel a little stressed, but looking forward to going to the NW women's day on sat :)

Also just to give an update from Gingercurl: She has been granted the extension (praise God for answered prayer) but says it's still v stressful with a major deadline at easter. She is thanking God for the safe return of her Dsis and family from India. She says thanks for all the prayers and that she is keeping us all in her prayers. :)

thnks mhd. praying for you too.

bit worried about accessing money for the car insurance.

also peeved because the school is doing non uniform day with payment as an easter egg or a pound each and I am stressed about having enough in the correct account to pay for the car insurance. it is bit complicted getting ccess to money sometimes, even though Itechnically have some, I can't get access without bills in my name and the missing marriage certificte due to money laundering laws. bills in my name are difficult. they are all in h's nme and he needs to deal with the companies to change them and won't. other money is in an account tht hs no card nd can't use it to pay. if it is put in the shared account, it will disappear.

Thanks, mhd. x
