Looking back over the thread to do a summary, there is so much to thank God for in the past month or so:
Bobsmum coming more or less unscathed through a car crash, with bean intact, Podglet's bean doing well in 'secret' and most of all Pepperpot's wonderful news. God is good, never doubt it.

Lots of large and small struggles:
CaptainCaveman, CaptainDippy, MaryBS, Mufti, NQGU, Roseylea, Zipadisuzy and probably quite a few others struggling with negative feelings, anxiety and feelings of being a 'bad mummy'. Praying that you will derive your self worth from your Heavenly Father Who knows 'how we are made' and loves us with an unfailing love.
Harrisey with decisions to make about future ministry
NSFN for wisdom regarding relationships.
QueenofQuotes - giving thanks for a better relationship.
Creambunnie for wisdom and strength in dealing with a difficult marriage.
PandaG for a new job that's just right

Praying with ChocolatePeanut for poorly mother and baby, giving thanks that the news so far is good.

And giving thanks with Dumbledoresgirl for the recovery of NASW/Losty, who is now PhoenixSoaring, how marvellous is that?

We keep praying for OnlyJoking and MummytoT&F, who are both still in very hard places.

MumtoGusnAlbie, MorticiasMother, NotanOtter and Shreksmissus, let us know how we can continue to pray for you. If I have forgotten to mention anybody, God never forgets and He loves you.
And everyone who has a look at this thread, we know that 'our help comes from Him Who has made heaven and earth, Who loved us before we were formed and Who never abandons what He has begun. Praise be to His Holy Name.

RK - how are you atm?

ZipadiSuzy · 28/10/2007 20:54

How do you score this 'freerice' game, I got 1180 grains of rice, just to keep me from making a nusence of myself on mn

DutchOma · 28/10/2007 20:56

If you get three in a row right you go up a level, when you get one wrong, you drop a level. For everyone you get right you get five grains of rice.

Augustine is done...

creambunnie · 29/10/2007 00:33

Oh sorry to "butt in" again - but the time has come - and I believe the Lord has made it clear to me....

I have to leave dh.... it will be hard but as His Word says "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me"...

Life is hard, but heh "what a friend we have in Jesus..."

PLEASE pray for me and dd but also and maybe more especially for dh - who I do still love but accept that we cannot live together any more.

I am leaving the future in God's hands... HIS WILL be done.... but yes it won't be easy (life never is) so I would REALLY appreciate your prayers for us all.

Love and blessings to all xxx

MaryBS · 29/10/2007 05:53

CB - praying for you all. May God protect you all and show you the glories of his grace and mercy.

I've been through a marriage breakup myself - if you need any support I'm here. {hugs}

CaptainCaveman · 29/10/2007 07:27

hUGS TO YOu CB (sorry, caps lock got a bit excited there), if we can do ANYtHING just come and ask. Praying God will hold you close and guide you through the times ahead.

Right then, PANDA I am finally going to post that cd to you today!! Only 2 months later than advertised .

Does anyone else want a copy of the panic prevention cd? I now know how to work the re-writer without having to ask dh......If you do, just CAT me find a way to get your details to me....(my email has my full name in it so don't want to put it on here )

It's official - this month we will start ttc!!! So, prayers much much much appreciated for conception, particularly in 3 weeks time (sorry if tmi!).

Happy MOnday everybody - God loves YOU because YOU'RE special.

DutchOma · 29/10/2007 08:09

Creambunnie, praying very hard that you feel the Lord surrounding you in all you have to do.
Will you still be near a computer to keep us updated?
May the Lord keep you and bless you and your little one.
May the Lord keep and bless your husband. May this whole thing make him better, not bitter, so that he becomes a more balanced and happier person. Only the Lord can do that.

Peace at last .... long may it continue, especially as I neeeeeed to finish the book I am reading as I am tutoring on it tomorrow night - eeeek!

CB - {{{{hugs}}}} Praying for strength and wisdom, honey - we are all here for you sweetie. xxxx

How are you RoyKinnear??

Whoop! to ttc, Fellow Captain - Praying!

How are we all today, I am ok enough .....

Notquitegrownup · 29/10/2007 10:37

Good morning all.

CB - I can't better DutchOma's lovely words to you. Praying for you.

Hi CD and everyone

Mary - thanks for those words on Ethan. Any other little gems, much appreciated. I know that I don't need to appear wise at Bible Study, but I would like to avoid any major bloopers, if possible. (Now there's a word you don't get to use much these days . . .)

Prayers for all.

Our God is a Great Big God!

CaptainDippy · 29/10/2007 10:46

Hello back NQGU!

royKinnear · 29/10/2007 10:50

zipadisuzy thankyou for thinking of me. i do read these threads now even if i dont post so please dont think i have deserted you all
I am better much better - i feel life is just
Bunnie you sound so together x

CaptainDippy · 29/10/2007 10:57

RK. xx

creambunnie · 29/10/2007 11:23

Thank you ALL so very much for your kind supportive words - but most especially for your PRAYERS.

I can only do this in HIS strength - I have none!

CC could I request a copy of your cd - I know someone who might benefit from it. How can I give you my contact details? Is it poss to email you privately?!

DO your way with words is soooo comforting and wise - xxx

Mary BS - isn't it good to know we aren't alone in these awful hard times in life - how long since you split if you dont mind me asking??

RK - only God can keep me "together" as I am unable on my own! Blessed be HIs Name xx

Waiting on God to show me the right path from here - and again pray for DH also - this is not going to be easy but life never is

Prayers for you ALL too xxx

CaptainDippy · 29/10/2007 11:45

No worries CB - good to have you among us! xx

MaryBS · 29/10/2007 15:17

CB - you do have strength, it shines through your posts! Its good to see you trusting in God and his will. Not an easy thing to do when you can't see what he has planned for you. It's been about 15 years since I split from my ex. I've been divorced and remarried since - been married 10 years this year! Affected me very badly at the time, but I can see how my life has been immeasurably better without him.

NQGU - I'll have a look to see if I can find an online commentary that'd help you... there are a few good ones around

MaryBS · 29/10/2007 15:29

NQGU - this may help, if it doesn't I'll try to find something else...

www.godrules.net/library/clarke/clarkepsa89.htm

Note that I found other writers which suggest that Ethan the Ezrahite might not be the same one as mentioned in Judges, and might not have been the author of Psalm 89... did you want me to check this out some more???

OT study is confusing to say the least!

podglet · 29/10/2007 15:51

Hi all, a mad weekend of business!

CB - you sound a very strong person and I can't better the lovely DO's words better either.

NQGO - afraid I don't know anything about Ethan. I am sure a wise person on here will be able to help - sounds like Mary is on the case!

DO - any progress with DD? May I say how especially lovely you are today?

Sorry if I have missed people, this new MN is not great for me - I am partially sighted and struggling to get used to the new layout. I am sure the text was bigger on the old one...

DS has had his first full day at nursery today - pick him up in an hour. Have missed him like mad today - hope it's better when I go back to work next week

DutchOma · 29/10/2007 16:50

Thank you Podglet for your very kind words. How you must miss your ds, he's only little isn't he? What kind of work do you do? Whatever it is, it won't be for long
Not a lot of progress with dd. On her MSN she has the logo "sorry is only a word, but actions speak louder than words". Divinations and prophecy as to the interpretation welcome. I did get a "thank you" for the tenner I put through her door yesterday (had promised) so maybe there is hope for me
