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!

Love and Prayers to you all. xxxx

It must have been a judgement on me - I haven't been able to connect to the internet all last night and this morning, from home, so I'm sneaking on at work!

The mystery man was the vicar, so yes he is a nice man, but we had 5 children chaparoning us

Better do some work now

naswm · 04/08/2006 10:23

hi guys. Things ok in the naswm house although I am not feeling great. Feeling a bit 'vulnerable' and 'exposed' on MN atm so may need to hibernate for a bit. I am also worrying about being so open and honest about things.

Hoping you are all ok. See you soon. God Bless

Thank you for you thoughts and prayers

Nanou1 · 04/08/2006 11:55

CaptainDippy · 04/08/2006 12:01

MaryBS · 04/08/2006 12:16

Thats fantastic news about Catj's dd!!! Will keep praying that she continues to improve! Much love to Catj's family too, will pray for them as well, it must be hard for all of them.

naswm - like nanou1, if you need to talk to anyone I'm here, my email is somewhere on this thread. Will pray for you.

Nanou1 - how are you feeling? I've always wondered about a colonic. Supposed to be v. uncomfortable though! When I get stressed, it affects my stomach as well, so I know what you're going through. I find drinking Yakult helps.

Nanou1 · 04/08/2006 12:29

cheeky MaryBS who just be working away joyfully . MN is addictive!!!!! feel better today. it always get so much worse when it is that time of the month... will check with GP cos can't be right. you ok Mary?

Nanou1 · 04/08/2006 12:30

thanks for the tip Mary. will give it a go

MaryBS · 04/08/2006 12:46

Nothing joyful about my work

Feeling better than I did earlier - another rough night, plus I think I've pulled a muscle in my chest from too much coughing. Can't get a Dr's appt today though.

Led MP again this am - can definitely recommend it for lifting the spirits at the start of the day. Still botching it, but despite that, I'm going to be let loose with the keys of the church next week. I promise no satanic rituals

naswm · 04/08/2006 13:53

thanks for all the kind words naswm x

Nanou1 · 04/08/2006 14:02

have you been to the doc mary? you are killing yourself there! nasm my msn does not seem to be working....

MaryBS · 04/08/2006 19:22

Well, as I couldn't get an appt today, I'll see how I feel Monday. Its an 'open' surgery then

MaryBS · 04/08/2006 21:24

EEK! When the bishop visits our parish in November, I'm down for doing intercessions that day! I've been warned not to pray for women bishops . Personally I think the colour would suit me
