Bleurgh!!!!

Still poorly in DippyLand!

DD's have been in nursery all day, which has been a huge blessing - DH has been at home all day and we are just feeling crap. This bug we've got is soooo nasty. I thought we would have shaken it by now, but it doesn't seem to want to shift. Yuk Yuk Yuk .....

Anyway, I should stop moaning and think of others .......

Praying for you and DH NearlyThree, you know where we are honey - come and talk to us anytime. [hugs]]

Podmog, I think what Nanou1 said: "The truth will always win over evil" was so right. Trust God that He will show what is right and true. Write the letter or invite the Vicar round if that what your gut instinct is telling you to do. As long as you tell the truth, I am sure God will honour you and your family. xxxx

@ being unwell Twiga honey - every sympathy from the official "House of Sick" Praying you feeling better soon. I hate being ill. I am not v.good at it!

Praying for you as you make a decision about going into counselling PandaG.

Well, I think I'm going to go and have a lie down in prep for DH getting back with the DD's. Can't wait til they're in bed, poor little mites!!

OP posts:
MaryBS · 26/09/2006 17:23

Podmog - what I would do is say something like "you may have heard some things about us, some of which are true, a lot of which aren't true - if you wish you can keep an open mind, and get to know us properly, then make your own decision, or if you prefer you can hear our side - personally I'd prefer it if you made your own mind up based on what you see of us - all I ask is you give us a chance". That way it doesn't turn into a He said She said argument.

Twiga - hope you all feel better soon

CaptainDippy · 26/09/2006 17:24

Hi Mary!!

understanding the sermon

naswm · 26/09/2006 19:41

LOL at both those cartoons! thanks girls

Can I ask for quick prayer for me please? I need to take big jump and trust that God will be there to guide me to land me in the right place (metaphorically speaking, of course). There is lots going on in my life atm, and i need to hand it over to him and trust in his ways. But before that I need to make that jump and trust that he will be there for me, whatever happens. Oh dear what a ramble. Maybe a prayer for coherance would be better?!

CaptainDippy · 26/09/2006 19:45

LOL @ cartoons, my DH knows the guy who draws them - claim to fame!!?

Jump, naswm, jump ....... God won't let you fall!! ........

harrisey · 26/09/2006 21:43

AArgh! I failed one of my exams! I failed beleif and thought, (dh passed!) and can resit on Monday. Feeling totally cr*p about it, tbh. I worked SO hard! But i have to go to 2 days of college induction this week not even knowing what class I am going to be in, or if I am going to be in the same class as dh.
Could you pray for me - concentration, perseverance, my anger at myself. And that I pass -please- on Monday!

MaryBS · 26/09/2006 22:02

Awww Harrisey! Praying for Monday for you! God bless you, darling.

NASWM. I recommend my favourite prayer at the moment "Lord I believe, help my unbelief". Sums it up for me. Its all about having the strength to believe that God will do for you what you hope and pray for.

I feel weak, I feel like I'm useless, but God has called me for a reason. I rejoice in His love for me and I pray I don't let Him down. There are far better people out there than me, but for some reason He has chosen me and for that I thank Him. Lord, your will be done!

bobsmum · 26/09/2006 22:06

CaptainDippy - have emailed you twice!

Texasrose - praying for your work situation.

Just a quickie from us.

Dh has been out of work since the end of May and has been applying for various things. Some prayers for guidance and clarity and trust would be fab - thanks

bobsmum · 26/09/2006 22:08

Harrisey!! So sorry for you - glad you've got a second chance though. Fingers crossed in a christiany sort of way

MoreTeaAnyone · 26/09/2006 22:23

naswm a step of faith is an important thing that Gos asks us to do from time to time. It's hard to question way but we will get His peace and blessing whenever we do what He asks.

MoreTeaAnyone · 26/09/2006 22:23

Soooo sorry obviously meant God!!!!

MaryBS · 27/09/2006 07:07

Bobsmum - praying for your DH, that he finds a job he likes, and utilises his skills, and pays him what he deserves!

Panda - praying for guidance for you as to what you should be doing next year

Praying for all who are sick...

CaptainDippy · 27/09/2006 09:17
