Just me... popping in as usual. I could do with some serious prayer over the next few weeks. The simplist way to put it (as I don't like to give personal details) is that I have a very large bill that needs paying in the next couple of weeks and no way to pay it. So could you please pray that God provides cos I'm beginning to lose sleep over it and am trying hard to remember Jehovah Jireh and to trust that He won't let me fall. Ta muchly!

Hi back to CD. Miss her online.

Praying for you all.

longwaytogotobethlehem · 29/12/2006 10:46

Hi just to let you know he is going. At least for a few days, bil is going to take him home to his mothers and hopefully they will bring him back for his dc app on wed.

He isn't showing any kind of affection to me at all says he doesn't know what he wants, so when he decided this I don't know but hey ho.

I don't want him here until he sorts his head out he can't keep putting me and the girls through this.

Long term I don't know waht the heck we're going to do if he leaves. I can't afford mortgage let alone anything else, I don't want to have to move kids again it just isn't fair, I don't want to move home bec freinds are here but at the same time we have no family support. Just can't cope with all this atm. Why us?

What am I going to tell the girls.

He is like a split personality he sat here laughing and joking now with his db, sil and nephew but as soon as we would be alone he would be miserable non communicative and I don't want to have to deal with that so he can go.

HallelujahHeisBorntoMary · 29/12/2006 11:16

LWTG - really sorry to hear all this, but in a way I'm glad you're getting a break from it. Does BIL know what you're going through with him?

Try not to think too much about the future, neither you nor he can make decisions at the moment, and trying to second-guess what'll happen only brings heartache and anguish (sez me who is always doing it! ).

Still praying for you.

I'm at work today, nothing much to do except answer the phone to a really miserable pensioner, who I couldn't help!

Marslady - praying for you and your money worries. Will pass on your message to CD! Hopefully she'll be back soon!

God bless

Mary

roseylea · 29/12/2006 12:08

Hello all!

LWTG (((((((((hugs))))))))))))))))

You must be feeling awful - bu ttry to stay positive!

This break might be just be what you both need - it sounds like your dh needs to get his head sorted out. Maybe the reason he was so relaxed and happy with the others earlier is that he's relieved that he's done something positive towards getting himself together.

"Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you, says the Lord" Hebrews 13 v5.

If there's anything more practical we can do to help you, just say.

Praying for you too Marsy. "God will make a way where there seems to be no way". (Sorry, full of quotes today!)

Hi Mary! HOw are you? I'm slightly better today THank you to you and anyone else wh oprayed - the car service was a breeze! My mum came with me and it was easy-peasy then my dcs spent the rest of the afternoon playing rough and tumble with my bruvva! (The one whose best mate became a christian. Bruvva said, very seriously, 'Oh yes, he's a proper church-goer now')

MayMay · 29/12/2006 14:04

My SIL passed away around midday... thank you all for your prayers.

HallelujahHeisBorntoMary · 29/12/2006 14:15

Maymay - I'm sorry to hear that. I will pray for your family - let us know how they are coping (badly I should imagine )

Hi Rosey, I'm much better thanks, although struggling a bit re: a dilemma with DD (see the BBRU thread). Please feel free to contribute, I'd welcome Christian opinion.

roseylea · 29/12/2006 14:27

MayMay I'm sorry to hear that too.

Your family will all be in my prayers too.

MayMay · 29/12/2006 14:54

Thank you.. my poor DB is heartbroken, it is so sad. I just hope and pray she accepted Jesus as Lord b4 the end. Now my poor DB is left with anger and bitterness at seeing his sweetheart suffering so. How do you tell him there IS a God who (in his mind) just stood by and let her suffer.

sleepysooz · 29/12/2006 15:02

maymay - my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, so so

longwaytogotobethlehem · 29/12/2006 16:26

He's gone

HallelujahHeisBorntoMary · 29/12/2006 19:25

Maymay - sounded like she had accepted Jesus, thanks in no small part to you and to the grace of God. I pray that God will bring your DB strength and peace.

LWTG {hug} - not sure what else I can say, except I am praying for you.

sleepysooz · 29/12/2006 20:49

lwtg - please try and stay strong, I can't imagine what you are going through but, my prayers are with you and your children, and for your DH to find what he needs in life and be happy!

I can't begin to think how I would cope by myself, so please ask for help anywhere you can, and we are always here for you on mumsnet, I don't really know what to say, all I can imagine is how upset you are, but I agree with you on the fact that things can't go on as they are, especially if it affects the darling children aswell! you must take care of yourself, take each day as it comes, [[hugs]

HallelujahHeisBorntoMary · 29/12/2006 21:38

LWTG - I have a message for you. Tonight I found a 'need' in me to pick up Lynne Hybels book (the one I've lent out before), and this is what leapt out at me FOR you:

"I hope you realise how much your family, your friends, your church, your community and this world need you. Don't allow who you truly are to be lost, buried or devalued. What is in you matters. What is most truly you matters. You have learned lessons, experienced pain, known joys, and gained a perspective nobody else has. You have an answer to the world's needs that is yours alone".

As God is my witness, I was meant to tell you that - its been a while since I felt like this, but I truly hope and pray it helps you.

God bless

Mary

longwaytogotobethlehem · 29/12/2006 22:27

FrostyTheSnowMarsLady · 29/12/2006 22:32

mufti · 30/12/2006 09:42

Notquitesotiredmum · 30/12/2006 16:06

Maymay - so sorry for your loss. Thinking and praying for your db too.

LWTG - special prayers and big hugs, Hon. Can't add more to Mary's lovely words, but you are in our prayers every day.

HallelujahHeisBorntoMary · 30/12/2006 18:40

LWTG - I hope and pray you've had a day where you've been able to cope {hug}
(I won't say a good day). Hang in there.

fannyannie · 30/12/2006 18:44

Sorry haven't been around for a month - computer been dead and only just got it back. Anyhow could really do with your prayers re this thread.

Thanks.

MerryChristmasPANDAGHappyNewYe · 30/12/2006 20:36

Hello all

Back from holidays with rellies, have missed you all.

I have read the last week's worth of prayer requests, if I don't mention everyone I am sorry.

Maymay - so sorry for your loss, praying for your DB and ther rest of your family

Longway. Praying, praying honey. No wise words, but a very big virtual hug.

Rosey - still praying fro the Crohns.

Marsy - praying for provision. I know so well how HE does provide, in the most amazing ways, praying that you wil have a testimony to encourage us.

Mary, really glad to sermon went well, praying that you are back to full strength soon.

Went to see my best friend from uni today, she is off with her family to work for a Christian organisation for a couplr of years, and it is unlikely we will see them. Was lovely to see her, but I am sad. God please protect them as they step out in faith to do Your will.

love to you all
xx

HallelujahHeisBorntoMary · 30/12/2006 20:50

Fannyannie - praying for you and your DH, that somehow things will work out for you. I really feel for you, and you sound such a brave sensible "together" person, I really admire your courage and strength.

Hi Panda - good to see you back. Will pray for God to protect your friend.

Please pray for my brother. I'm really worried about him being in Basra, what with everything that's happened today

On a lighter note, I was at a friend's party today, and a lovely Catholic lady spent AGES trying to convert me back to Catholicism. I didn't have the heart to tell her I was training for lay ministry. We did have a lovely chat though. I think she expects to see me at the Catholic church sometime soon...

longwaytogotobethlehem · 30/12/2006 20:55

have found out today that he been taking codiene based stuff for the last 10 yrs almost constantly.

he will be home on wed and then apparantly we just have to live iwth him while he gets the help he needs and then if at the end of it say 6 moths 12 months he decides this isn't what he wants then I just have to get on with it.

Oh i don't know I so confused.

worzella · 30/12/2006 23:14

Hi All, we've been away too... so just read the thread and will try and catch up.

LWTG - praying for you and sending virtual hugs - I really pray for a breakthrough for you and your DH

Weirdbird - praying for the pregnancy and that it avoids new year

MayMay - praying for DB and your family - praying that God will be a refuge rather than someone to attack

Mars - praying that God will provide

FannieAnnie - praying for your situation....

And Mary - you always sound so wise - well done!! ( that isn't as patronising as it sounds)

and for anyone else I've forgotten...

Happy New Year to everyone
