Is it too early to call this the ?early Spring? thread? Wishful thinking? Wink

BabyBeatrice and her family ? for healing and fortitude as they deal with Beatrice?s illness;

DoctorAnge ? for health for her little girl;

DutchOma and Bob ? for health for Bob and for him to feel at ease in his new ; and for Oma to feel supported as she cares for him day-to-day;
FlatsInDagenham ? for the family and friends of her colleague, who died recently; for her SIL who has cancer; and for her brother and their family;
GingerCurl ? for the successful and (relatively) stress-free completion of her thesis;

Kaykat ? for her and her DS to know peace and happiness as they emerge from an abusive relationship;
MadHairDay - for her continued good health; and for her whole family and their mission, that they will find the resources (financial, practical, spiritual, whatever) that they need to grow and flourish;
PositiveAttitude ? for her mission overseas; and especially for her DD1 who has been going through some tough times and may soon be spending some time abroad with her parents; for happiness for the whole Attitude family; also for PA?s mum who has Alzheimer?s; and prayers of thanks for the birth of PA?s baby great-nephew;

Lord, in Your mercy, hear our prayers.

Praying for all. I won't be around for a bit, as I'm off to Ireland tomorrow and won't be back till Wednesday, but will be thinking of you all.

Please would you add a prayer for VirtuousVamp's daughter, who is very ill in hospital, a long way from home.

Kaykat · 15/02/2013 06:38

Still not at home, he stopped me from entering and it's not safe. Getting lots of good advice but very worried about the future. Missing my home but don't think I'd feel safe there. He threatened me and was very irrational, then he lied about it all, no surprise really as he has done nothing but lie for months now, when they are unfaithful it seems so easy for them to lie after that. I hope people will see through his lies. Don't know what to ask for in prayer but God will know a way to sort it out even though I have no clue.

amberlight · 15/02/2013 07:37

Much prayer for each of you as I'm reading what you've written.

MaryBS · 15/02/2013 07:41

Prayers for VV's DD, and for you Kaykat. Best to leave it up to God, if you can, and be patient for his answer. I spent a long time praying to save my first marriage, but it wasn't the best thing for me, even though I didn't see it at the time.

How are you Sooz? Boing?

Dutchoma · 15/02/2013 10:50

Thank you Maud for posting that request on the board for VirtuousVamp's dd. Are they still an army family?

Praying for KayKat too. It's hard to understand that the police lets him get away with making you not safe in your own home. Praying for a speedy solution.
Praying for a successful trip for TUO
And praying for everybody else on the thread too

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 15/02/2013 11:08

Thanks to all of you for your prayerful support.

Yes, Dutchoma, they are still an army family.

VirtuousVamp · 15/02/2013 13:05

Thanks all!!

Hi Dutchoma. Do I know you? My Oma was Dutch. Would love to think she's there watching over us with God!

No change here on my daughter if anything she's getting worse. We are being transferred to a specialist hospital where hopefully they'll get to the bottom of what's causing her infection. Smile

Dutchoma · 15/02/2013 14:48

Hiya VV. No I don't think we have come across each other. When Maud posted this morning I just had a look at your other posts to see if I could find out a bit more about what your dd was suffering with.

My husband was in the army in Germany when we met (over 40 years ago) so an army background rings a bit of a bell.
I really hope that you can soon post some positive news about your dd. How old is she?

ZipadiSoozi · 15/02/2013 15:16

Thank you all for your prayers of support, I hate to moan but sometimes I just don't manage very well with the situation. xx

VirtuousVamp · 15/02/2013 15:33

Hi Dutchoma. She's 8. She has periorbital cellulitis a rare complication to a mild cold followed by sinusitis. Has has two operations so far to drain the pus from her head and on a cocktail of antibiotics and painkillers. We are being transferred as she still has an infection inside her skull so they want her at a hospital which is equipped to deal with child brain surgery. Keeping everything possible that wont be needed and her body and faith will fight it!

Thanks again for your prayerful support. Smile

Dutchoma · 15/02/2013 16:44

That sounds nasty VV. Praying that the doctors will get on top of the situation very quickly without the need for surgery.

Soozy I know how hard you have worked at this marriage and how hard it has been. Keep being 'kind and considerate' as the Bible says and God Himself will give you the strength.

cheekbyjowl · 15/02/2013 19:36

I was just on search to see where Christians hang out on mumsnet. I think i've found you. Hello to all.

Dutchoma · 15/02/2013 19:44

Ooh another newbie. You are very welcome.

HavingALittleFaithBaby · 15/02/2013 20:16

I'm reading and praying. Lifting up the situation VV. Praying for strength and health.

Praying for a breakthrough jan.

Sorry to hear about your marriage Sooz. Praying for you at this time.

I decided for lent to give up Coke (I have been drinking way too much!) but also to do my Bible study daily. I've been really bad (despite it coming by email daily so no excuse!) and so far, so good. I'm also trying to listen to worship music in the car. I'm hoping it'll help me reconnect with God because I have been struggling.

Welcome to cheek. This is a lovely support network :)

blackeyedsusan · 15/02/2013 23:24

hello to newcomers

Envy
Dutchoma · 16/02/2013 10:20

It's the maltesers that make you feel Envy

MadHairDay · 16/02/2013 10:27

Morning all and welcome to cheek, and hello to VirtuousVamp, praying for your dd, that sounds really horrible :(

Kay, continuing to pray.

Please can you remember Ginger in prayer - she's off Mn for Lent but asked for prayer about her thesis - her supervisor is asking for an extension so pray that goes through for her.

BES, pray the phone call goes ok.

Bluetinkerbell · 16/02/2013 23:31

Can i ask for prayers for my grandad, he's in hospital and i think this might be the beginning of the end. He's slowly deteriorating.

HavingALittleFaithBaby · 16/02/2013 23:41

blue :( praying x

Kaykat · 17/02/2013 08:07

Sorry I am in no state to mention others at the moment. Please pray for my meeting with solicitor tomorrow, I need her to act swiftly this time. Also I feel it is very likely I will get a visit from ss as police always refer you and this is the second time. Last time they wrote to me urging me to separate from H but hey didnt visit me. They make me nervous, I hope they will see I am doing everything to keep DS safe and that is my top priority. And of course I would love to get back to my house very soon. Thank you.

MaryBS · 17/02/2013 08:23

Prayers Kaykat, Blue, Sooz, VV and all in need of prayer either for themselves or their LOs... xxx

Had a lovely day yesterday. Went to take part in a quiet day by Liz Babbs and her lent material "Transformed by the presence of Jesus". Was really good, she's very good.

MadHairDay · 17/02/2013 10:13

Kay, praying for that meeting now.

Mary, pleased you had a good day, sounds lovely.

Please can I yet again ask for healing prayers, chest has been naughty all weekend and I'm in a lot of pain from pleurisy again. Seeing my consultant on Tuesday so prayers for that would be good. Some days I just get so tired of it all

Dutchoma · 17/02/2013 10:24

Only some days MHD I think you are doing very well not to get fed up every day. Praying for healing and peace of mind.
Kay praying for that meeting with the solicitor. Ss will only want to help, but I can understand that it makes you nervous.

Praying also for VV dd and for PA who is overrun by ants.

blackeyedsusan · 17/02/2013 19:24
