Podmog, you poor things, it never rains it poors, life can only get better! prayers for your recovery(s)

I´m new to MN... may I add a prayer request or am I barging in?

My sister-in-law has been diagnosed with Cancer and the hospitals have been delaying things as to whether or not she can have treatment. I personally belive they are stalling for time as she is very very ill and I think they are putting off telling her the worst.

Anyway, my brother and she have always been very anti Christianity and I have always respected their views and not pushed it on them. However, I now feel that (although very backslidden) if I don´t try and communicate with her, her soul will be on my hands. I have therefore written her a letter telling her how she can ask Jesus to get her through it (though not necessarily heal her) and He will be with her if she asks Him. Also told her about forgiveness etc. Please could you join with me in praying that the HS will prepare her heart to receive this message and that she will accept Him b4 it is too late.

She probably has 8 months maximum but doubtfull. Thank you so much.

MayMay - this prayer thread is for anyone and everyone. I'm so sorry to hear about your SIL. I will definitely pray for her, that she can receive Jesus in her life.

Podmog - so sorry to hear about all your problems. I'm upset with my mother after a phone call earlier, but more of that later...

Hi MayMay. I'm praying for your SIL and for you, that God would give you exactly the right words to say.

How are you now Podmog? [[[[[hugs]]]]]]]

Still full of cold...

MayMay - news, my prayers are with your SIL and her family, that was a lovely thing to do for her, I hope and pray for her to find Jesus!

Evening! Oh Podmog honey - what a crappy crap thing to happen! When did DH get home?? How are you? How is DS? I WISH I lived heaps nearer to you - I would soooo have come to help!! [[hugs] Thoughts and Prayers. xxxx

Hello and Welcome MayMay!! As has already been said - this thread is for anyone and everyone to join in - so you are more than welcome. So about your SIL. You are SO fantastic and brave for writing that letter. I hope and prayer it make a HUGE impact on her and on your bro too - what a wonderful thing to do. Keep us posted re: SIL. [hugs] xxxx

Has been a much better and more postive day today - could actually "feel" you guys praying for me!! Was amazing - thank you sooooo much - hope it continues ......

Just popping in to say Hi ladies as things have been a bit hectic here recently.
Have handed in my first essay for my course! Well into another couple.
Had a great service at church yesterday - feel like I am starting to come out a a place full of guilt where I have been for a while - feeling much better!

No time to chat am off to bed. But still praying for you all!!

Katz - praying for you and your family at this time

Podmog - praying for you too

Mary - hope the meeting with the tutor goes well

I'm finding it difficult to keep up with all the posts on this thread but I am praying ....

Thank you all for your kind responses and thank you for praying for her! She is in an awful lot of pain and just pops the morphine like it´s caugh syrup my mum says. My brother is heartbroken. They have been together over 21 years and she was his first and only girlfriend, he absolutely adores her and this is ripping him to bits.

The letter should be arriving any day now and I must admit to being very nervous when sending it.
I did pray beforehand that the HS would guide me and that it would not be me speaking but Him through me.

I really don´t know how she will take it, like I said they have always told me before not to say anything about God and church etc so it was a nervewracking step!

However, didn´t feel I had much choice really as otherwise her spirit would have been on my conscience for not telling her about salvation etc.

I will let you know if I get a response. They don´t have a nervous emoticon... Thank you all again.

Sorry, that should be they have been together for over 43 years..

Maymay - I will continue to pray for them. Bear in mind that its a very emotional time for them at the moment, and you may get a very angry response. I hope and pray you get the response we all want though. The thing to remember is, you are reminding them of their maker, and you are planting the seeds of reconciliation.

Podmog, praying for you and your family.

I made up with my mum. What happened was, for the second year running, she was coming here for Christmas, then changed her mind because another member of the family had called to say they were going to the family home for Christmas, making us feel like second class citizens. Secondly, she'd said disparagingly "well you'll be WORKING Christmas day anyway". I pointed out that I was preaching Christmas Eve, not day (but it made me feel like I was doing a secular job, not the Lord's work - when will she accept my vocation?).

Anyway, she phoned back, and said if I still wanted, they'd all come to ours for Christmas (that's my mum, brother, sister and her new husband). So that's what is happening. I said we'd still go to church Christmas morning, because the children take along a new toy to be blessed in a special children's service.

Glad you sorted some stuff with your mum Mary!

Glad you are feeling more harrisey - continuing to pray for you as you plough through those essays - Do you and DH ever get competative???

Oh Podmog - I REALLY DO wish I lived nearer!! Please, please Lord, send this little family some support, help and TLC - they need it so much. How is everything this morning? Praying that DD2 remains well enough for the ballet exam and that the Birthday celebrations do not have to be cancelled - In all seriousness - I am free this w/e coming - would it help you if I came to help?? I have friends in Bristol and I could stay with them and come and help you during the day?? Email me: [email protected] [hugs]

Worzella - I am crying for your bro and SIL. 43 years. He must be so devestated. I am so glad you wrote that letter, like Mary said, it might provoke an angry response, so do be prepared for that and DO NOT take it too personally - They are coming from a very desperate and tender place atm and need time to process big stuff like salvation. Your letter will make an imprint, I am so sure of that - you are very brave indeed and I admire you greatly - I continue to pray for them as they face this dark path together.

Have had a v.stressful morning and just ask for prayers for DH who is not himself atm - very stressed and unhappy - I am finding it hard to hold everyone together here in the Dippy Household. Only God can carry me through this. Just pray. Thank you.

BIG PRAYERS for everyone, gosh its needed!

Big prayers for you Pudmog, CD and Maymay.

Maymay, I remember reading in Richard Wormbrand's book, testifying about his experiences preaching in Communist Romania that no-one on their deathbed ever suddenly converted to atheism, but plenty of convicted atheists converted to Christianity, when they realised that they were about to meet their maker. You have offered your sil fresh hope at this difficult time, and offered her Love. You have done all that you can. Praying that your words will be fruitful in their lives. 8 months is a long time for a seed to grow.

Pudmog and huge sympathy for you and your household. It sounds ghastly! Poor you! Praying for protection for your little one.

CD [[[[[[[[[[[hugs]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]

God bless all.

Thank you for your hugs NQSTM - much appreciated!!

I do mean it though Podmog - if you needed me to come, I would come - you just bear that in mind!! Bless your DD - hope her Birthday Party doesn't have to be cancelled; but if it does, it will only be posponed, I guess - something to look forward to!!

Off out for pannini and Mocha at Costa - desperately needed!!

Morning all

what a lot to pray for!

So gald you are feeling brighter CD, will pray for your DH though.

Podmog - poor you and family praying that this bug clears up from all of you really quickly. Like CD I wish I lived nearer, would happily come and help.

Welcome Maymay praying that your letter is received in the spirit it was intended, and for your brother and sil.

Longway - how did it go?

Mary, glad you made up with your mum, politics at Christmas can be so hard can't they? praying too for peace for you re your meeting with your tutor

Harrisey - good to 'see' you praying for you.

A couple of requests from me: A friend an I are running 2 events in the lead up to Christmas, next week we have a social evening, mulled wine and nibbles for mums at school, with us doiung a talk on Christmas and Advent traditions, and how to celebrate as a family, and the week after we are doing advent crown making. please pray that the right people come, and relationships are made.

Also, I am organising a Christmas craft fair and coffee afternoon at school for the PTA, completely secular event, but again want to build relationships. Thanks

I haven't posted for a bit, but thank you for your prayers for my son with selective mutism. He is continuing to make good progress and spoke to another teacher completely out of the blue last week - she could not believe it. He is making some really good friends too which is helping and is like a different child.

Praying for everyone on the thread. Thank you so much.

Hi to all of you and thanks again for all of your kind prayers.

I don´t know any of you and have only just joined MN.. would really like to hear about some of you (if you want to tell your stories).

I was actively involved in an evangelical, pentecostal church (was part of the leadership and ministry team) until DD born 15 yrs ago!
Fell out with pastor over something and didn´t go back to church as very disilusioned with a lot of people´s behaviour.

Still pray on occasion and still witness given half a chance and very much believe as much as I ever did but I just don´t "live the life" I should be living.

God bless you all.

maymay if you go to biblebashersrus on the chat thread you will find where many people have come from geographically and spiritually.

Ds's op went fine, we are home but he has horrid diarrohea and is back in nappies after not being in them for months. His dressing is covered in mess and we only on day one.

He is to have bed/chair rest so is not going to be fun I did think we could maybe spend lots of afternoons shopping but bank is refusing to give us any more money as we are upto our overdraft

Just need to keep him pain free - bless, and pray that no infection gets in via the dirty dressings.

dh is feeling better, i'm very tired as ds was telling me at 4 a.m that he wanted to go home now and after an evening of him having bladder spasms i'm exhausted.

MayMay, a number of us have introduced ourselves on the "Bible Bashers R Us" chat thread:

But I am C of E, "born again" after being a lapsed Catholic for a number of years, now training to be a Reader (aka Licensed Lay Minister), which I started in July. Still very much getting used to all the work, hence the angstridden posts I have on here sometimes . Absolutely loving my calling tho' (although I don't know what He sees in me... )

Jockey - thanks for your post, its lovely to read such good news! Will pray that it continues

Panda - praying for your events.

Podmog - how are you and your family {hug}?

CD - good to hear you're feeling better, I'm here if you ever want an ear...

God bless

LWTG - looks like we crossposted! So glad your DS's op went well. Praying for you all as you recover from the stresses and strains of it (and the "other" too!)
