537 replies

CaptainDippy · 27/07/2006 20:25

Hello there!!

"Never doubt that a community of thoughtful, committed women, filled with the power and the love of God, using gifts they have identified and developed, and pursuing passions planted in them by God - never doubt that these women can change the world"

Need I say more (thanks for that quote MaryBS!)

Well, here's a summary of July's requests - Do update if you can!!

MaryBS - Prayers for her mum coming to terms with her vocation. Been having vivid dreams and would like for them to stop (have they?) DH's nephew was adopted at the age of 3 and is now exhibiting some bad behavioural problems, mum and dad asking about "giving him back" etc. Very difficult situation. Prayers for study etc as she undertakes the course to become a Reader at church. Difficult situation regarding the church hall needs to be resolved. DD has a class mate who keeps hitting her etc, MaryBS unsure of how to handle the situation. Lots of prayers for non-Chiristian DH as he becomes more involved in church life (YEY! ) Prayers for situation between Vicar and a member of choir and finally prayers for a friend who has been meeting with Social Workers re: possibly adopting today! Pudmog - Feeling nauseous still (16 weeks PG, due on Jan 17th) and has chest infection. Has been struggling to control DS' asthma and has been really, really struggling with church (one couple in particular making it very hard.) Continuing prayers for the situation regarding racist accusations levelled at her children's school.

Twiga - DH's Uncle has Oesophogeal cancer and is very, very ill.

harrisey - Has found somewhere to live when her and her family move to Glasgow to attend Bible College in Sept. Praise God!!

Xavielli - Dad is home from hospital and is doing well. Lots of prayers for her sister who has had to have an abortion following the discovery that her unborn baby had Edward's Syndrome. Prayers as they cope with this loss.

longwaytogo - Ongoing prayers for her DD's health problems, especially for her as she attends Allergy Clinic on Aug 31st Prayers too for her nan and grandad who were involved in a car accident; although they were not seriously hurt, they are battered and bruised and coming to terms with the shock of it all. Lots of prayers for her friend who is going to adopt a little boy - they are meeting up for the 1st time very soon!!

JessicaandRebeccasMummy - DH had another operation on July 5th - Is going to be discharged from the army very soon, lots of prayers for them as a family - finding new job, home etc etc.

Nanou1 - DH didn't get job in the end. Feeling very and right now - lots of prayers needed for reassurance and acceptance - and for another to job to come up very soon!! How did DD do in France Nanou1 btw??

TigerT - DD had to have another op on her head on July 6th as wound was becoming infected - praying that her little DD is ok, the infection is gone and she is on the road to recovery.

footprint - Struggling with depression and anxiety - has been doing better and was last seen going off on her hols with her family! How are you doing honey??

katzg - Didn't get job , but is feeling positive and praying hard that another job opportunity will come up soon as her contract on her current job runs out on Aug 31st. Also prayers for her DD who is under Consultant care for the skin condition Cutaneous Mastocytosis.

PandaG - Currently off on lots of hols - so praying she is having a lovely time! Her youth leader who had cancer died and the service was a beautiful tribute to her.

CatJ - DD4 is still in hospital and is improving, but she is going to require lots of ongoing prayers as she is going to spend quite a bit of time in hospital over the coming weeks / months etc .... Lots of prayers for all the LO's that DD4 is in hospital with.

NotQuiteSoTiredMum - DS2's excema is very bad and keeping them all up at night - Prayers for sleep in that household!!

puddingz - Prayers for the family of a little boy (8 yrs) who was tragically killed in a Hit and Run incident.

naerlythree - Prayers for baby DS who has been very poorly.

Kate100 - Prayers for communication issues between her and her dad.

melbournemum - Prayers for her DB and SIL who are about 9 weeks PG. They have lost a number of children through miscarriage - Praying that this "Little Bean" holds on!!

waswondering - Prayers for cousin's 2 week old DD2 who is in hospital with a viral infection.

CaptainDippy - As ever, ongoing prayers for job situation (hers and DH's), house situation and driving lessons (going well btw ) Prayers for friends who are struggling with new baby DS and for friends who are coming to terms with the fact that they will never grow old together as DH has diagnosed with terminal cancer. I think that is all for me - for now!

Praying for you Yorkie.... I missed your post last night and have only logged on. God is never too late, He is always right on time.

OMG!!!!!! CD CONGRATULATIONS!!! I think you should rename yourself TheSecondMrsDugger!! lol I am sooooo happy for you if not a little and mine is only 4.5months old! lol Some of us are just meant to be breeders eh? lol

I love seeing all the new 'faces' on here! Our family is growing!

PandaG · 22/08/2006 19:45

Hello all

CD - WOW

I am sitting here with a soppy grin on my face, tears welling up for you !

Marsy - will pray for your friend and her H. So gald to hear the news about Dave and Roger. Hope you don't m ind me pointing sleepysooz in your direction.

Yorkie - have been praying for you. How are you doing my lovely?

Lovely to see you all ladies, I've had a great day with a friend and her 2 children.

Twiga · 22/08/2006 20:02

Hi all,
Huge Congratulations CD, fab news ! Driving lesson went well, my instructor is lovely and explains everything really well. Feel much happier about it all this time round and hoping to get it all wrapped up by Christmas.

Holiday club finished well on Friday and the impact team seemed much more relaxed and friendly. I think from chat afterwards that they were just fairly used to doing things a certain way and found it diff as a result but also learnt a lot from the home team. The debrief is this fri but I'm away at a friends baby shower, need to get my thoughts down on paper - please pray that I'm clear in my writing and that any comments are helpful for the future.

Dh is studying away for exams which he'll sit in Feb - please pray for diligence and perseverance, he's easily distracted right now. Also work has been hectic for him of late too, we're going to have a family day out on Sat as feeling in need of a break from it all and some quality time together.

Yorkiegirl, hope everything went ok today and that you get a good nights rest tonight - love to you and the girls x

CaptainDippy · 22/08/2006 20:32

Thank you for all the lovely congratulatory messages - So sweet that tears were welling PandaG - They certainly were for me when I got the result - Yey!! I can't quite believe it, neither can DH - We've told the DD's and DD1 keeps kissing my tummy and saying "baby, mummy" - Hope she doesn't "give the game away!!" Ooooooh, I feel like I am part of a great big lovely family - all warm and safe and fuzzy - Thank you guys!!

LOL @ "TheSecondMrsDuggan" Xavielli -

Marsy - So to hear about J and his wife. Praying that God would really heal their relationship - I think the words you used were perfect - "That they would find one another again". Praying that so much - and praying for their little one too, a difficult and confusing time for the poor little mite. Great news about Peter though God is Good - Yippee!! Praying that this fantastic recovery continues!!

Glad the driving went ok Twiga - hoping it will be wrapped up by Christmas for you - my test is looming ever closer .... glup!! Praying for the de-brief and for your DH studying - focus for both of you - have a wonderful day on Sat though!!

YorkieGirl - was thinking of you and praying for you while working in my shop today. How did it go?? [hugs]] to you - God grant you all supernatural sleep tonight!! xxxx

Just saying a very quick hi (and big congrats CD ). I have been on holiday and am going away again tomorrow. But before then had been keeping a low profile on MN after getting a bit 'scared off' a few weeks ago. But I think about you all often.

Twiga · 22/08/2006 21:15

naswm, nice to see you . Have a nice time away and don't be a stranger when you get back.

longwaytogo · 22/08/2006 21:29

Yorkiegirl still thinking about you hun x

Cd I really can't believe your preggars - even though we are definately done baby wise I do get a little when other people get pregnant.

So many other things to pray about but if I try naming everyone i'll forget so thinking and praying for you all.

Naswm don't know why you were scared off but don't stay away from this thread we will be kind to you.

naswm · 22/08/2006 22:10

Oh, CD, MummyMaryBS is gunna put you back on the naughty step for announcing your big news whilst she is on holiday!!! lol

naswm · 22/08/2006 22:31

waswondering - that is not what maternity leave is all about! I did that, and wish I hadnt! Enjoy your LO! Re Sunday School, when my DS started he used to bring a lump to my throat singing 'Our God is a great big God!' over and over. In fact, it still does when he sings it now

CaptainDippy · 22/08/2006 22:34

I know and how is she going to react to the fact that she is going to be a grandmother!!!!!??

Hey - you can't put a lady in "my condition" on the naughty step!!!

NASWM - I don't mind your nosey-ness at all!! I think I am only about 4 weeks gone - so early, early days. When this little one pops onto the scene, DD1 will be 3.2 and DD2 will be 23 months - Am I crazy!!!!!!?

Pudmog, our babes will be the same school year - how sweet!

CaptainDippy · 22/08/2006 22:36

Bless! DD1 puts her dollies on the naughty step all the time - often without valid reason - and that's no reflection on our parenting skills - I hope!

weirdbird · 23/08/2006 11:40

CD - Many Congratulations on your good news, hope your 2 DD's keep stum for you, I know ours sure didn't

YorkieGirl - Still praying every day xx

All going well with DH at work, in-laws swopped in yesterday and stole DD off for most of the afternoon which was an unexpected suprise and she is being a big sweetie and helping mummy and playing nicely and all that jazz, thank you for all your prayers.

Have a appt now to see my Consultant again next Tuesday so hopefully that will shed some light on things, and I am now 22 weeks, only 2/3 weeks to go and they consider me viable!
