Lord, in Your mercy, hear our prayers.

I am running out of patience with the mini tornado who is wreaking havoc. the bigger slower version has gone home, leaving his mess behind him.

I am supposed to be off to mums, wherrer mini tonado will run ound there as well, wrrecking the place. I am working on the behaviour. but therre arre tantrums where things get thrown.

Cuddledup · 18/02/2013 21:37

Prayers for all especially VV's little one.
MHD thank you for your Lent book suggestions - appreciated. I also watched Songs of Praise the other week (the one about angels) as you said your parents were on it. It was v interesting.
Take care all and stay safe XX

MadHairDay · 19/02/2013 10:07

Morning all, and prayers. Blue, how is your grandad? :(

Cuddled, glad you enjoyed the SOP, bless em, they did well.

Praying for Kay, Jan and Sooz this morning, thinking of people struggling with relationship breakdowns.

Off to see my consultant this afternoon, so will see what she has to say.

HavingALittleFaithBaby · 19/02/2013 11:21

Praying the consultant has constructive advice mhd. I admire your strength.

Praying for you grandad and family blue.

I'd appreciate prayer. For lent I decided (as well as cutting out fizzy drinks!) to start doing my Bible study daily and listen to worship music again - especially travelling to work. I feel more connected to God but I also feel more plagued by little things (enemy's nose out of joint?!). I saw my MW today who said I had glucose in my urine and lectured me on a low sugar diet. (I have worked on cutting down but could do more). Instead of taking it how I should, I'm in a tail spin about it. I'm also quite paranoid at work. Prayers that I can fight these attacks would be greatly appreciated. I want to stay closer to God! :)

amberlight · 19/02/2013 11:32

Praying...

Dutchoma · 19/02/2013 17:16

Praying specially for Faith, Jan and MHD.

I would appreciate prayer too: There is a family day in Holland on 28th April which happens every two or three years. Up until now Bob and I have always gone together, even two years ago when ds and ddil took us in the car. This year there is no hope of Bob going and I will have to find a nursing home for him again. Given the fact that he was so wildly unhappy last time it is very difficult to do. I haven't even told him about the family day.

RoomForALittleOne · 19/02/2013 21:32

Just popping by to let you know that our house sale completed today. It's been very stressful getting to this point and I feel a bit sad but I'm looking forward to receiving the equity and paying off all of our debts in a few days time Smile SmileSmile Thank-you for all your prayers about this. Please join me in prayers of praise and thanks as we come to realise that this has actually happened!

HavingALittleFaithBaby · 19/02/2013 21:36

Ah that's wonderful news Room! :)

Dutchoma · 19/02/2013 21:40

Just heard that MyjobisMum had a ds2 today.Reuben Sam 6lb. She has been too busy to post here, but I have kept in touch (although not close touch as I had no idea it was so imminent) through FB.
Congratulations.

Dutchoma · 19/02/2013 21:43

Oh no, Reuben James, sorry.

Dutchoma · 19/02/2013 21:44

And congratulations to LittleOne on the sale of the house. Praise God!

Kaykat · 20/02/2013 08:20

I am feeling very sad I am missing my home so much. I am very grateful too for the kindness of those looking after me. The solicitor is moving fast to try to get me back home. And just to add a bit more stress I have an interview tomorrow for a promotion.

Dutchoma · 20/02/2013 09:34

Feeling very sad with you Kay. Praing that it will all be resolved very soon. Glad to hear that your solicitor is getting faster.

I have now talked to Bob about the respite care and thrown him into quite a tizzy, I think. he said he knew it had to come but now that it is taking shape it scares him. He wants me to go to Holland though, he's just not sure he will cope with the respite care.

MadHairDay · 20/02/2013 09:45

Kay, sending love and prayers and standing with you in this.

DO, praying that Bob will feel peaceful about the care and al will work out for your trip.when are you going?

Room, that's excellent! :)

Praising God that my xray showed huge improvement yesterday, still some crap/fluid there but soooo much better.

Dutchoma · 20/02/2013 09:55

Oh MHD that is very good, praying that the improvement will continue.

The family day is planned for the 28th April but not at all sure that things will work out.

Dutchoma · 20/02/2013 10:46

Well, I never. I spoke to the one nursing home that we wanted all the time for Bob and they said I can come and have a look round this morning. Thank you Lord.

Dutchoma · 20/02/2013 20:10

And then an hour later got a phonecall from the manager to say that they did not really do any nursing beds.
It's all to do with money and it makes me a bit cross because I think Bob would do really well there. He will ring me back tomorrow. I was so pleased with the result and now someone has rained on my parade.

Bluetinkerbell · 20/02/2013 20:49

Could do with prayers, just had meeting with DDO and feel like I'm starting from zero again... :(

Dutchoma · 20/02/2013 20:55

Oh Blue that is difficult. In what way do you feel you are starting from zero again? You'll have to spell it out for me a bit as I'm not much acquainted with this whole selection malarkey.

RoomForALittleOne · 20/02/2013 21:07

Oh Blue, why? What happened? There can be lots of highs and lows in the process.

Bluetinkerbell · 20/02/2013 21:55

Well he just made it clear it is going to be a lengthy process which means I won't be able to start studying this September... Which means having to find another job if church can't find funding to keep me on... :(
Very frustrating...

PositiveAttitude · 20/02/2013 22:58

I am still here reading and praying far more regularly than I post.

Some things not going well here and I still feel under attack. A big meeting with the CEOs today. DH had his on Monday, which went really well, please pray that mine goes the same way as I have some tough things to say and explain! - not really my forte!!

thank you

Tuo · 20/02/2013 23:46

I'm back! Had to get up to get my flight at 5.30 this morning, and went straight into work when I got back, so feeling a lot bit zonked now. Have read - and prayed - through, but forgive me if I don't now mention everyone by name.

Thanking God here for good friends, a successful trip, and (I think) a good lecture yesterday. And thinking of all of you...

Quote from Niminypiminy on the other thread:

"It's a good thing God doesn't mind having his ear bent about our troubles Smile"

RoomForALittleOne · 21/02/2013 13:42

Anyone fancy hearing some more good news? My 20 week scan went well this morning. Everything looked fine. Baby was very camera shy and kept looking away when the sonographer was trying to get a picture Grin we had a lovely sonographer who explained everything and took his time. He offered to tell us the sex but I asked him not to. Anything to help me push when the time comes!

We also seem to have come up with some creative solutions to the fact that we got such a rubbish amount for the house that we can't afford to change the car for one that fits four children. And we're making headway on our tax credits appeal.

Hopefully we are getting on top of life now Smile
