ZipadiSuzy · 27/05/2007 20:19

Just a quick little prayer request, DS1 feeling very sick, he's had a tough week but an enjoyable time away in Llandudno with school, there was a sickness bug there.

Today he has done his brown/white/white karate grading, I think he is just exhausted! but he looks so green my little 'peanut' aw

Lord please take care of him.

DutchOma · 27/05/2007 21:07

Is he asleep now? Bless him Lord and let him wake up quite refreshed and full of beans tomorrow.
Very quiet on here tonight, is everyone away for the Bank Holiday weekend? The weather is awful here, we were supposed to have Praise in the Park this afternoon, but the weather was so bad the organisers 'borrowed' the Anglican church in the park which was absolutely full, both downstairs, in the choir stalls and the nave and upstairs in the gallery. Absolutely wonderful

notsofarnow · 27/05/2007 21:12

Evening all feeling very strange. dc have gone to my mum and dads for the week, and although they have gone before there has always been me and h here but now there is just me.

cd know what it is feel overwhelmed will pray for you hun.

Feeling a tad frustrated the prayer ministry that I was going for this week isn't happening and possibly wont happen now till end July. Feeling a bit let down.

Also was the end of 24/7 today and got a bit upset bec we were asked to put a sticker on the map where we lived in the town, but as I don't live in the town but miles away I couldn't do it. Just feel so torn live in one town, worship in another and work in anotehr. Ah well one day life will be simple (me thinks not)

Roseylea · 28/05/2007 08:39

Good morning all!

Well we are off to Norfolk today until Friday and it is rain rain rain forecast all week! Never mind...we have planned lots of indoor activities for the dcs!

Please pray that we have fun together and enjoy our time together. This holiday has come at just the right time as dh's job has meant we haven't seen much of him over the last week or so. Please pray that as well as giving the dcs a great week away (thet are v. v. v. excited!!!) dh and I get to have some good times chatting and being together too.

I'll be thinking of you all!

God bless xxx

matilda57 · 28/05/2007 18:52

Guys, please pray for me and my family! I'm not sure how this thread works, but here goes...

Some of you may have read that my children are behaving extremely badly after the sudden death of their dad about 18 months ago. THings took a very bad turn over the w/e when dd attacked me and I had to call the police. She was arrested and spent the night in a police cell

Ex (dd's dad) was a very abusive bloke (a christian I'm afriad ) and I eventually left him, but was in a terrible state after all the abuse, and lost my faith. My family at the time embraced ex (my parents are christians) after I left him (I had a breakdown) and he ended up in the centre of the family, while I was out!

Now it seems my mum can't believe that dd would hit me, which throws into question why I would call the police, and dd end up in police custody. It has dawned on me that my family don't believe the things I have alleged, particularly any abuse. I have been very close to my parents, so this latest development is a shock.

Please pray for the absolute turmoil in my family. I very much fear for my daughter's mental health. Whatever it is that is overshadowing her, it was the same thing going on with her dad (if that makes sense). I have suffered enough under all this, and I don't want dd suffering with it too, and ending up a sad control freak like her dad. She is behaving so like him at the moment it is uncanny. Almost like when he died something passed to her. Gulp.

mumtogusnalbie · 28/05/2007 19:47

hi everyone - just a quick update as still not feeling great.

Have still been having panic attacks and my mum is still staying with me to help the boys.

Haven't made it to Church for the last 3 Sundays but figure God understands.

Really don't have much of a brain and hope to be back on my feet soon.

Currently taking 40mg of Citalopram every day but still waiting for it to take full effect.

Having hypnotherapy every 3 weeks and doctors appointments every week.

Really sorry about the shortness and sharpness of this message but I am really struggling to function at the moment.

I continue to think about you all on a daily basis and congrats. to Fannieannie - great photos.

Prayers for you all and especially Matilda - sorry I just don't feel well enough to talk any further.

God Bless each and every one of us and may He take us in His arms, hold us tight and make us good.

xxxxxxxxx

CaptainDippySuperBoobs · 28/05/2007 20:17

Honey - I will post properly tomorrow, but you are in my thoughts & prayers - Such a complicated & heart-rending situation for you to be in sweetheart. {{{{hugs}}}} I admire your honesty & your tenacity for getting this far - Keep going!!

Aw, mtgaa - I was ignoring you honey - your msg hadn't been uploaded when I added my post - {{{{hugs}}}} Glad you've got help & support sweetie - praying for you lots - Thank you for posting.xx

HunieBuniesBack · 28/05/2007 20:53

Just a suggestion, but would it not be easier to start a new thread each week or each day or once you reach an agreed number of posts? So as to make it more accessible. A thread that has 585 posts is off putting as that is an awful lot of reading to do?

HunieBuniesBack · 28/05/2007 20:55

Sorry, but just a suggestion, I would like to contribute etc

HunieBuniesBack x

notsofarnow · 28/05/2007 21:30

hunniebuniesback its cd that does such a fab job of updating this thread every month and i'm sure she will get back to you with an answer tomorrow.

cd I'm sure God will direct you and dh in right decision.

mtga just been out to the car to get a piece of paper that was given me week last sun.

The Spirit comes to help us in our weakness. For when we cannot choose words in order to pray properly, The spirit himself expresses our plea in a way that could never be put into words... Romans 8:26

Just been outside and the sky is the most beutiful red.

Matilda can't begin to imagine what you are going through right now but praying that God will give you the strength to get through this really diffiuclt time just now and will give you and your dd the right people in the right places to help you.

Do you have any family centres that you could be referred to via gp, health visitors, school? We have been going to family centre run by the national childrens home they have been brilliant.

matilda57 · 28/05/2007 22:52

oh God - was my post completely missed!

matilda57 · 28/05/2007 22:54

oops sorry - I panicked. I can see that some of you have replied. I am in such turmoil at the mo.

ZipadiSuzy · 28/05/2007 23:11

Matilda - aw so sad to read your post. How old is your dd? you all must be going through so much turmoil I pray with you now for peace and stability within your family and I hoe you get support from your family, we are always here, please keep in touch.

ZipadiSuzy · 28/05/2007 23:12

hoe [ooops] 'HOPE'

ZipadiSuzy · 28/05/2007 23:27

Dutchoma - thank you for that prayer for my DS1 he eventually got off to sleep and is alot better today, I gave him some gaviscon that seemed to do the trick, I thought he was going to be really poorly there for a moment, so did he, but anyway, I think exhaustion had set in but he's fine now [phew]+ a bit of acid wind

CD - how are you doing, I pray for your DH tomorrow, my DH has his meeting at work aswell tomorrow, the big 'date' of redundancy, terms & conditions [yikes] belly doing flips! have been very busy typing and printing poster/fliers to post in 1000's of letter boxes, sorting all the nitty gritty bits to starting own business 'Gardening 4 u' although he's got alot of practise to do first, starting with our own garden, and its been raining cats and dogs for days now!

Prayers for Mary, hope she is enjoying her holidays and for the safe return of CC (not bikini weather here hun)

MTGA - I'm sorry you are suffering atm, and hope your tablets kick in, and quick, lovely to have your mum helping, take care

NSFN - prayers for your strength, how's things? are you keeping your chin up?

FA - Hope baby 'T' settling into his new abode, and are you looking after yourself?

Hello and continued prayers for everyone else

matilda57 · 28/05/2007 23:39

She is 19. Can't stop crying today.

matilda57 · 28/05/2007 23:45

me that is

ZipadiSuzy · 28/05/2007 23:46

Matilda - I know its easier said than done, but try not to beat yourself up, you did the right thing for 'you'

Your dd is old enough to know right from wrong but is obviously very mixed up and hurting right now. How has she been with you today?

Please god take care of this family giving them strength and love and help the family support each other.

ZipadiSuzy · 28/05/2007 23:52

Matilda, is your dd ok with everyone else? cause if she is, I know it doesn't justify her hurting you, but she obviously feels safe to vent her frustrations on you, we have to have an outlet, I know its flipping the coin upside down, but try and take control of the fact that at least she can show her true feelings to you, do you think its a cry for help?

harrisey · 29/05/2007 01:25

Just wanted to say hi and I hvent forgotten you all. Have been reading and praying but not posting much. Up to eyeballs in college work for the next couple of weeks!

EllieK · 29/05/2007 01:52

just a hint on the hugs problem, Tech has changed the way we can post links on the board, so now you just need at the start and and the end of the web address you are linking to

this means that when you do hugs it thinks you are posting a link to a website with the address hugs

ZipadiSuzy · 29/05/2007 09:37

Thanks Ellie that explains why when I do virtual hugs 'that' link comes up!

ZipadiSuzy · 29/05/2007 09:38

harrisey - busy little bee good luck!

matilda - how are you today?
