DEC THREAD

Hope this works!

Welcome to January 2007 thread.
Love and prayers to all my lovely virtual fellowship group.

Hi all

praying for Lewis. so sad to hear of his deterioration.

Mary - praying you feel better soon

Rosey - how are you doing? Moving does seem a good idea.

CD glad to hear you enjoyed the meet. Praying that DDs settle, and you get a good sleep. Praying for peace for you too honey.

Our (mine and Worzella's) minister is a lot better, still having headaches but not as bad, looks like he will be returning to work this week, a staggered start back. Thanks for your prayers, and please pray for complete healing.

I'm hosting an MN meet tomorrow. Am a bit nervous

We need your prayers for protection. I can't explain why but we need to move to another part of the country, right now. Please pray that we are safe and that we find somewhere to rent soon, that this house sells and we can buy soon, and that the dcs esp. dd1 aren't too broken-hearted by this.

I might not be on-line again for a while once we go, so God bless. xxx

I'll be praying nearly3. I pray that God would watch over you all and hold you tightly in His arms.

(Depends where you are CD and when you're due )

Still here, still sick... DD is under the weather as well, so, so much for a quiet day in bed!

Praying for you N3, that God protects and guides you and your family.

RL - hoping and praying the house/church situation goes well for you too!

Morning! DD1 off at a Toddler Group with a friend (yey!) and DD2 sleeping - after being a bit sick, which was a bit of a I must say - hope she is not getting horribly poorly with something nasty ......

Sorry you are all still feeling rough Mary! Praying you will make amazing recoveries asap - How is DS with the tonsils??? [hugs]

Praying for you as you look for somewhere new to live rosey - Glad you've come to a decsion - hope you find somewhere pefect (enough) soon!

Panda - Glad yours and Wrozella's Minister is doing well enough to go back to work - Praying he continues to recover well and takes enough time out for himself too! Keep us informed.....

N3 - Praying God's protection over you and your family sweetie - Thank you for posting here! [hugs]] Please keep us informed when you can. Here for you.

Feeling ok this morning, little anxious, but ok!

Hope your Meet-Up goes ok tomorrow Panda - Exciting stuff!!

Can only be quick as I'm hiding in study from DD's!!!!!

Keep meaning to say please pray for my driving test tomorrow!! I reeeeeally could do with passing now!! It is at 8.40am and I am pretty nervous - Pray, pray , pray ....... Thank you!!

Sorry Marsy - Don't think I could afford you honey btw!

Hello all!

Hope you are feeling better, Mary. Good on your dh for giving you such a long lie-in!

Shona I'm sorry to hear about Lewis. I'm keeping him, and the family, in my prayers.

N3 praying that you and your family are okay. You have my e-mail still? Get in touch if you want to talk or if there's anything I can do - I'm in Herts.

Wow CD I will certainly pray for your driving test! I know how it feels - I had to take [whispers] 5!!!! (I tell my students that yes I do know how it feels to fail exams!)

Hi Panda! We're good thanks, so much better now. Glad your minister is doing well.

Hi Marslady! I do envy you your job; what a privilege to see so many litle ones into the world!

Well I went and had a look at this house this morning - reached the conclusion it was too expensive, not big enough (as in a titchy-witchy little house for a ridiculous price) and yes the village is idyllic (sp??!!) but really in the middle of nowhere (in the middle of a beautiful forset actually) and with very little for the dcs to do as they grow up. Bit like living on a film set - in fact it probably would be just like living on a film set because this village gets used a lot for TV!

Hmmm....I had one of my blinding revelations the other day. In all this house move / church move/ vocation stuff, I've felt that I've been torn between wanting to settle down and find somewhere that really feels like home, where we can put down roots etc (which I don't feel at all here) and also following in God's plan for my life, finding out who I am in him and what He wants me to do with my life etc.

Well the blinding revelation is this (wait for it...) those two are actually one and the same thing! I am His and He is mine, so as I go deeper into knowing Him I will know myself better. And as I know myself better I will be able to serve Him better. Does any of that make sense? What is at the very core of me is Jesus, so as I work out (with dh) what our most important priorities and hopes for our lives are, we are actually uncovering more and more of Jesus, as He wants to express himself uniquely through me and dh. Wow.

See ya all later!

RL - it makes sense, believe me! And you'll know when you've got it right, because then it'll make TOTAL sense! Let Him guide you, and try not to worry too much about trying to discern what He wants of you. He managed to get through to me, didn't He, and I wasn't even aware of it!

Praying for you CD for tomorrow!

Oh joy! Next week's tutorial topic is David's adultery with Bathsheba. Adultery, my favourite subject

This week's was interesting though. Moses and the burning bush, plus some background info on the Pentateuch.

How is everyone tonight?

All right thanks. Dh has had to go to a run-through of his brother's wedding (he is best man) so I've taken the opportunity to have a really good look at properties on the internet. And churches, and schools. I feel like I've not really had a decent chat with dh in days now - he's had to work some really long hours recently, and one of our cars broke down last week and he had to spend the whole weekend fixing the blimmin' thing (a classic Mini) and it's still in bits. Grrrr!

Still he has got the half term week off work so I am very much looking forward to being in the same room as him for more than half an hour!

David and Bathsheba, eh? Temptation, where it starts, where it leads...painful stuff. Hope you get on well with it.

Wow, you sound busy!

Well, I've got ready for work, decided I still feel too ill (I feel absolutely exhausted and still can't stop coughing), so I've bit the bullet and booked a Drs appt at 11:20, so we'll see what he says...

I Passed! I Passed! I Passed!

I am sooooooooo estatic - Yippee! Timing couldn't be better with No 3 on the way - absolutely delighted - Hurrah!!!!!! Thank you so much for your messages / support / and most of all - prayers - You guys are wonderful - and also the very 1st people to know as DH is in an all-day meeting and everyone else seems to have disappeared!!

WHHHHHHOOOOOOO! HOOOOOOOOOO!

Good for you, for booking the Dr's appt Mary - Good Girl!! Hope it goes ok and they can help you out. [hugs]

Rosey - Fab revelation - Sometimes god just has to spell it out for us, doesn't it!!? Enjoying looking for Jesus!!

Love you guys!!

CONGRATULATIONS.

[GRIN]

(Also my driving instructor's getting Baptised on Sun - so double thanks to God!! )

oh wow, is that your doing?

I'd do you out of love CD my gorgeous! Well done on your test. Suppose I ought to sort myself out now! lol

On a prayer note:

One of my ladies has to go to Great Ormond Street with her wee one. I'm going to (today). Please pray that all is well. Thanks.

Awwwww, Marsy - that is so nice - What area do you cover then!!!? Will pray for you as you travel to GreatO with this lady and her wee one. Do you mind elaborating on why she has to go there? Hope everything is going to be ok.....

No, mufti - all the glory to God, but, yes, I think I might have helped a bit - He has been my driving instructor for a year and a half after all!!

I have a "viral respiratory infection" so I need lots of rest . He's told me to take a couple of days off work to recover!

Well done CD on passing your test! Another prayer answered!

Marsy - praying for you and your lady...

Congratulations CD!!!!

Yippee, well done CD

Took me 3 goes, and a year and a half, but so liberating!

Mary - praying that you get a chance for the rest you need. how is DD today?

Mars - praying for your lady and her baby.

Rosey - glad God is speaking to you. Is great when that happens. I find I hear HIm most when I am praying for other people, so guess who goes to the front every week to pray for others at the end of the service?

DD got packed off to school! I'm a hard mummy!

I'm just relaxing watching all the TV I've recorded but not had time to watch, ignoring all the mess around me, because I've been told to rest . Thanks for your prayers!

Congratulations CD .

A few prayers requests.

1. For my lovely vicar - you may recall I said the other week that her dad had died - well it's his funeral tomorrow

1. For a VERY good friend of mine, she's been an absolute star other Christmas/New Year when it looked like DH and I would be splitting up, and also when I found out I was pg re DH's reaction. Anyhow, she found out last week that the lump her DH had removed from his head is malignant. He's already blind in one eye due to cancer from many years ago - so this has been a huge shock for them to find out that he has cancer again.

Thanks guys!

Get some rest Mary!! Glad you got DD off to school. How's DS doing? How are you feeling this evening. Praying for quick recovery. xxxx

Praying for you Vicar as she attends her dad's funeral tomorrow FA - praying for strength for her and the whole family. What a for your friend and her DH!! Dont't know what to say except that I am praying hard - keep us informed ......

It's taken me a year and a half and three tests too, Panda - Snap!! [smlie]
