NANOU!!! We've been missing you too honey!! Sorry you got caught at work , but soooo cool that you could pop in and say "hi" today - been worrying about you!!!!! [hugs] Praying re: job for you and glad that DH is enjoying his!

Continuing to pray about the car lwtg - soooo lovely that someone at church offered £1,000, amazing!!

Best go and help DH, he's a little better, but still not great, poor love.

Notquitesotiredmum · 05/12/2006 18:52

Help!!! Prayers please. I've lost my handbag, possibly on the way home from school, with my purse cards etc in.

CaptainDippyClausWithABump · 05/12/2006 19:59

Oh NQSTM - Praying HARD - I had my handbag stolen back in April and it was like a full arm amputation so every sympathy from DippyLand - Praying it turns up asap, keep us posted!! xxxx

Notquitesotiredmum · 05/12/2006 20:12

Thank you CD and thank you God! Prayers answered via a very nice man who handed it into the local shop.

Notquitesotiredmum · 05/12/2006 20:16

Nanou - lovely to hear from you. Pop into your local library sometime and book 30 mins on the computer to say hello again!

Prayers all around. God bless all.

Posey · 05/12/2006 20:53

I've been a regular lurker on these threads for a long time, so forgive a relative newcomer intruding.

I wonder if you can add a family to your prayers. A child at my pre-school's mum has died of cancer. He is only 3. Spoke at length to grandma (mum's mum) today, she is looking after the boys.
I think they could use some strength just now.
Thank you.

sandcastlesforanaussiexmas · 05/12/2006 20:59

CaptainDippyClausWithABump, thank you for your prayers. I will indeed keep you updated.

longwaytogo · 05/12/2006 21:22

posey can't imagine what that family are going through right now and praying for them all.

I'm aching was sort of pre cold feeling yesterday but then I had flu jab in work so don't know if its related to that or comin down with something. As much as I don't want to be ill atm I would love to take to my bed jsut for one day. Bet I wouldn't stay there though would I - far too much to do.

harrisey · 06/12/2006 00:00

Mary - thinking about your OT course!!
This term our course was "OT Law and Narrative" - we looked at the meaning of the Law as given to Moses, especially the meaning of atonement, (made me cry - was very powerful) and then the hitory of the Exodus - did it really happen? So if anythig of Exodus-Leviticus-Numbers-Deuteronomy-Joshua-Judges-12Samuel-12Kings-12Chronicles is of any use to you I can email you my lecture notes and also my exegesis from Deuteronomy (I got an A!)
Does this help? You can have anything that will give you a break as OT is hard going!

Xavielli · 06/12/2006 00:25

Hey peeps.

Love and prayers to you all.

MaryBS, My brother has also been to Iraq, no words of comfort I just know how nerve racking it can be knowing someone so close is out there.

Received a letter today regarding DS starting play school. I feel really sad for some reason. I mean it is only 2 and half hours a weeks! (LOL) I just don't like the idea of someone else looking after him. Please pray that I see sense!

God bless!

MaryBS · 06/12/2006 07:12

Harrisey, we haven't yet been put into tutorial groups, but to keep us going over Christmas, we're supposed to be looking at Genesis and the two creation stories. After that... who knows? Thanks for your offer though! If you like, you can send me it all now, or wait and see what I'll need. If I don't need it now, you never know when it might come in useful for a sermon! (See, I'm just greedy!

Xavielli - rejoice in the "you" time you'll get! Look at it this way, he'll be making friends and building important social skills!

lwtg - hoping the cold symptoms are as a result of the flu jab!

Posey - thats really sad - that poor family! Praying for strength for them - it must be SO hard

NQSTM - praying you find your bag!

Nanou!!!! Hopefully you'll pop in again and see how much we've missed you!!! Don't worry about the book - I knew it would come back eventually!

CD - as ftbs, you can always put your foot down and make them stick to the original date. I think its ridiculous they do this with small children involved. We had our estate agent trying to persuade us to move into rented accommodation for a week. We refused point blank, so someone else in the chain did it instead.

Sandcastle - praying for your niece

Kelly, so pleased that things seem to be getting there - praying that it won't be long now before it all comes together, and you can all have a wonderful Christmas!

Maymay - so about your SIL - praying for her salvation by the grace of God...

Panda - I kept meaning to ask, was it you that did the Light Night celebrations? M. thought it was a great idea that we do something as well - he has already approached the school to make it a joint collaboration. Is there anything you can send me (while its still fresh in your mind), so I can have it ready for next year, pretty please? If it wasn't you, then, whoever it was please?

Sorry if I've missed anyone... praying for you all! DH seemed a little happier last night, although he still brought some work home. I persuaded him to go to pint-sized church, so he'd chill out, and it seemed to do him good!

CaptainDippyClausWithABump · 06/12/2006 10:09

Morning - Bit and stressed in DippyLand - Too much going on my head to explain, but just pray all goes straight-forwardly with the house move and that my in-laws don't object to the "slightly more than normal" that they are doing with the DD's this week - soooo worried about rocking the boat atm, it is ridiculous.....

YEY!! - To finding your bag NQSTM - Fabulous news, God is good!

Hello Posey - Great to "see" you here honey!! Don't lurk any more - come here and post!! Praying that God would hold that poor wee family so close as this very time. Poor little boys, loosing their mummy so young, especially so near Christmas. Is there a daddy involved? How is he coping? Praying for the Grandma as she cares for the boys, may God give her wisdom and strength. Keep us up-to-date ......

How are you feeling today lwtg?? As much as you would like a day in bed (me too!) I really hope it is just the effects of the jab and that you are not coming down with anything. [hugs]

Hello Xavielli - Good to "see" you honey! How are Wedding plans going btw?? Praying for you as you prepare to send DS to playschool - he will LOVE it and it will be so good for you to get rid of him for a wee while - in the nicest possible way, of course!

Hello Mary - Glad DH seemed a little happier, continuing to pray. [hugs]

Right, supposed to be doing work ........

sandcastlesforanaussiexmas · 06/12/2006 10:32

Thank You for your prayers. They found the strength to hold a blessing & named their little girl.

She is falling more apart each day tho. Poor soul.

Thank you once again!

CaptainDippyClausWithABump · 06/12/2006 10:58

How wonderful - a real chance to say 'goodbye'. I am glad they chose to do that. What did they call the wee angel, if you do not mind me asking?? Let us know when the Blessing is, we'll be praying ....

sleepysooz · 06/12/2006 11:39

Please can you help me pray for a work collegue who died in a road accident last week, he is only 21 and its his funeral this afternoon

sandcastlesforanaussiexmas · 06/12/2006 11:44

CaptainDippy, they had the blessing, must have been Tuesday. I was told about it late last night. I'd rather not post the name on a public forum, but if you would like to email me, I will let you know, if it will help with the prayers.

[email protected]

Thank You so much

CaptainDippyClausWithABump · 06/12/2006 11:44

Gosh, Sooz - that is so Did you know him well? Does he have family? Are you going to the funeral? Will be praying, especially for his family as they come to terms with this tragic loss.

CaptainDippyClausWithABump · 06/12/2006 11:46

Sorry Sand Castles, I didn't mean to pry - I just find names easier to go with when I am praying, if that makes any sense?? Gosh, they have already had the Blessing, that must have been so hard. Prayign for strength, wisdom and peace. xx

sandcastlesforanaussiexmas · 06/12/2006 11:48

thats ok, I don't mind at all, just would rather not post it. happy for you to know tho, via email.

I do understand that it's easier for you to have a name.

CaptainDippyClausWithABump · 06/12/2006 11:54

Have emailed.

harrisey · 06/12/2006 15:23

Mry - have emailed you with all my Old Tesy notes from this term and my papers as well. Hope this will be of help to you!!

weirdbird · 06/12/2006 16:00

Hi all

Am still praying for you all

LWTG and MaryBS, I keep feeling that the Lord wants me to pray for you and your respective DH's.

Hang in there xxxx

CD -Really hope the move goves through smoothly and pray that there will be lots of hands making it all light work for you, wish I could offer to come and help.

Podmog - Really hope you are getting more rest am praying for you, your situation has made me a LOT more appreciative of my iL's help however many strings come attached!!

Nanou - Wondered where you had got to, hope you can now find something closer to home, and there must be an internet cafe nearish you, come and keep us uptodate every once in a while!

I am still pregnant, am praying the baby turns up very soon, we don't find out whether there is anything wrong until baby is born and this is starting to keep me awake at night, please pray for bumps continuing safety, also we may not have a car after Xmas, MOT will be due and it looks like we wont be able to afford the work and it would be more than the car is worth anyway. So it would be really good if I wasn't pregnant by then

We can walk pretty much everywhere from here except church so we could manage, just not while I am the size of a small house and it would be useful in getting us to the Hospital

Be inspired that you all encourage me to pray far more than I used to, love you all lots xXx

CaptainDippyClausWithABump · 06/12/2006 19:53

Thank you WB! Praying that bubs comes soooooon!!

Need to do Christmas letter ......

MaryBS · 06/12/2006 20:45

Thank you Weirdbird and EVERYONE for your prayers - its very comforting to be prayed for!

Harrisey - thanks for your email - MUCH appreciated!

CD - try not to stress yourself out with the house - the main thing is, you've exchanged contracts!

LWTG - I've received the book back from Nanou - did you want me to post it to you... in which case I'll need your address?

I'm off the BBRU to have a bit of a moan, if anyone wants to join me...

longwaytogo · 06/12/2006 23:04
