Praying for your family Lucy, God will surround them with His love.

NSFN, your post made me cry with happiness, WOW God is good. How powerful to feel that for yourself and then I laughed out loud at CDs xpost heeheheheheheheheeee (still giggling now!)

gotta go, I am so late for work. Should be there by now and am still in my dressing gown

roseylea · 15/05/2007 08:33

Hi everyone!

Welcome Lucy5!

Just a quick one to say....God works in mysterious ways!

I am going to see our Vicar tomorrow to talk about whether he is happy to put me forward to explore ordination ministry. I've known the vicar for over 10 years and have no fear of him at all, but I am sooooooooooooo nervous about this meeting tomorrow! I feel all jittery and on edge. I haven't felt this nervous for literally years. Cerainly I've never got this nervous about a job interview before.

So I was upstairs just now praying and saying "Lord help! I need you to help me in this nervousness" - so after a while I came downstairs to where I'd left ds and dd watching Cbeebies and they were watching the Bobinogs which was all about...how to cope when you feel nervous!

It was a really sweet programme and very reassuring for toddlers starting nursery etc and I felt like God was having a bit of a laugh with me saying "Don't worry - you'll be fine!" Well in the Old TEstament God spoke through the mouth of a donkey so if he can do that why can't he use the Bobinogs to speak to me???!!!

(This is where you all realise what an odd-bod this Roseylea character really is...!)

Notquitegrownup · 15/05/2007 10:23

Good morning all. Praying for you all.

In haste (at work). God bless.

CaptainDippy · 15/05/2007 10:44

Time to start getting worried, Rosey - God is talking to you through CBeeebies!! Praying your interview goes incredibly well today .... Do pop back after & let us know!!

All ok here - super-grotty weather though. Also, it seems DipsVille has been infected with the super Plague that has been infecting the Mary & harrisey households. DD1 complaining she doesn't feel well, DD2 absolutely streaming snot & DD3 snotty and finding it hard to breathe / feed, poor love - DH & I seem ok .....so far .... .....

What is everyone up to today???

ZipadiSuzy · 15/05/2007 15:07

This must be a mn bug, cause mine have it too! wipe one nose then the other needs a blow!

Prayers for all these nasty little 'bugs' to disappear! a-a-a-aaahtishooooo! excuse me

Right, this is the last time I am blowing another nose, cause I'm off to work till 10pm

MaryBS · 15/05/2007 15:25

RL - as I told you once on the phone, God really does have a sense of humour! What was it I said, not only does God move in mysterious ways, he moves in downright sneaky ways too!

Truly though, you've nothing to feel nervous about. I had to go through the same thing with our vicar prior to reader selection, and I'd only known him for a year at that point. May the Spirit be with you tomorrow.

fannyannie · 15/05/2007 17:03

ok prayers needed that DC3 waits another week before putting in an arrival - DS2 has got a few tiny red spots - one on his head, a few on his chest and some on the backs of his legs which I'm presuming to be chickenpox (after DS1 has just gone back to school after having them) - so could really do with DC3 waiting until DS2 is no longer infectious before showing up

I don't think there can be many parents around teh country that's spotted the 'ominious' signs of tiny red spots and gone "YES" while punching the air in delight.........I had visions of him waiting for another week or so before even getting the spots

CaptainDippy · 15/05/2007 21:00

Praying FA - although my DD1 got the Dreaded Pox the day I got DD2 home from hospital - as I was BF, she got immunity from me & was absolutely fine, despite rigiourous smothering efforts to infect her from DD1!! Stay in there LO ......

OP posts:
CaptainCaveman · 15/05/2007 21:05

Hi all,

rosey that is truly great - God talking to you through the bobinogs! Now, when you see the vicar tomorrow you'll have this tune stuck in your head "we're the bob bob bobinogs"!

FA, praying for your ds to stay put until the pox have dried up! I've exposed ds to this 4 times now and he still hasnt' got it!! Must be immune!?

Weather today has been pants but I don't care coz I've packed my suitcase YAY, this time in 2 days we'll have just landed in Faro.

And praise God, I just found my marriage certificate too, buried in a pile of CDs - hee hee, not the CDs on here.....the silver disc variety

CaptainCaveman · 15/05/2007 21:11

hello fellow captain

fannyannie · 15/05/2007 21:22

oh and a prayer to help ease the rib pain if you wouldn't mind too - I've been in agony for most of the day doesn't matter how I sit/stand/lie it hurts

CaptainDippy · 15/05/2007 21:25

Hi honey!!

OP posts:
CaptainCaveman · 15/05/2007 21:27

have you put the girls to bed on top of their respective piles of washing?!

CaptainDippy · 15/05/2007 21:30

Eh!!?

MaryBS · 15/05/2007 21:32

I'm shattered. My coursework is nearly done though, it just needs reading through and adjusting (I keep doing daft things like switching between past and present tense!). You lot are in my prayers, and I have prayed individually for each request on here.

As for me. I'm still struggling with the person at church. Doesn't help that I've asked if I've upset her and she's said no. Doesn't explain why she's no longer so friendly with me though... prayers needed please. And of course I'm a bit oversensitive atm, due to work and study pressures...

I will just allow a "woohoo" - due to someone dropping out, DH has been given 2 tickets to the annual Tesco charity ball (his work has to "buy" a table of tickets). These are £300 a head, plus free transport and accommodation in London. All I need is the dress! The raffle consists of £10 notes for raffle tickets (his firm supply the £10s too, I went a couple of years ago and won a helicopter lesson! Top prize is a car). Very decadent I know, but its not as if I could SELL the tickets on, we have to go really, so I'll just have to TRY and enjoy myself . They have a funfair with dodgems and a big wheel, and a ginormous chocolate fountain, and entertainment and all sorts...

fannyannie · 15/05/2007 21:32

thanks - it's odd - on the one hand I'm thinking "YAY I'm 37 weeks so techincally anytime would be fine for DS2 to be born (and the sooner the better LOL)" - on the other I'd really like him to stay put under DS2's chickenpox are gone

CaptainCaveman · 15/05/2007 21:35

my dream CD, when I dreamt I came to stay at yours...you put the girls to bed on top of a chest of drawers each with washing piled on top!

CaptainCaveman · 15/05/2007 21:36

jump back to mondays posts....

notsofarnow · 15/05/2007 21:36

oh that sounds like my house - chests of drawers with washing on top
