I have read girls and am praying but just don't know what to say to all of you just now.

went to friends church on Sunday morning and sermon I think was for me. Just feel stuck, like i'm going round in circles in my own world of i dunno what actually.

NorthernLurkerwithastarontop · 11/12/2007 19:31

NSFN - may I pray that the Lord will open a door for you?

CaptainCaveman · 11/12/2007 19:45

Praying for you mil and her mum muppetgirl, how very difficult for you and for them both. Hows your dh doing? (am assuming this is his gran?)

Praise God for your grandads peaceful passing QoQ, prayers and thoughts for you and the family he leaves behind. How wonderful that he is with God RIGHT NOW!

CD - I was bulimic for 9 years, started when I was 19 after my dsis disclosed our abuse to the world (who then took no notice ). It was God who delivered me from my ED, a whole other long post which I will share with you willingly. Anyway, been well now for 6 years and consider myself recovered. No way in the world I could go back to doing that to myself God has taught me how to love myself. YAY!

Feeling a bit queasy tonight - which is FAB in my opinion - pg related obv, not ED related!!!

NorthernLurkerwithastarontop · 11/12/2007 19:47

Oh CC - queasy for that reason is good news isn't it! Keep telling yourself that as you throw up Thank you for sharing about your ED - Praise the Lord for his healing love

notsofarnow · 11/12/2007 20:24

NL pray what you feel hun but nothing seems to be working. I know people are praying but I seem unchanged. How does that happen. Sooo fed up.

NorthernLurkerwithastarontop · 11/12/2007 20:27

nsfn - ok will do - I can see it's very hard for you right now - but one day things will happen - I've got faith

notsofarnow · 11/12/2007 20:36

hmmm well your faith is bigger than mine right now. Its not that Idon't believe because I do. It;s not that I don't believe that God works miracles because I know he does. I know this is all to do with my personal relationship with God, but i just don't know how to do it anymore. I feel nothing, if anyone speaks to me I cry.

I know i'm wellowing in self pity but I don't know how tochange it. aghhhhhh

NorthernLurkerwithastarontop · 11/12/2007 20:44

Things are going well for us right now - it's easier for me. When things get on top of me I find it much much harder to talk to God - and yet I know that's when I need it most. Sort of like - I only want to present the good bits of me so God will think well of me? And I know how stupid that is - and every time I say 'Lord - this time I will trust in you' - and then I find myself failing and trying to do it all myself and fretting. But behind all that I do know - I belong to the Lord - and so do you - and He came for us, died for us and will always be there for us.

CaptainCaveman · 11/12/2007 20:59

Reading your posts (nsfn and nl) I'm really struck by that wonderful poem "Footprints", and when the man looks back across the sand and sees that when he was at his lowest there was only one set of footprints and he thinks the Lord abandoned him when he needed Him most.
The Lord turns to him and says "My child it was then that I carried you". This really makes me cry! It's so simple and beautiful. Nsfn, the Lord is carrying you in His arms right now.

Can't remember which wise mner said it (or was it at church?) but crying is the language of the spirit too, so sit and sob in God's presence for He knows what is in your heart and He is willing to help you and to show you what He wants you to do.

muppetgirl · 11/12/2007 21:04

Captaincaveman - Dh is okay, he's not that close to the Austrian side of the family but it is still family and he hates to see his mum so upset. His gran is a catholic and says that she will search for opa (his grandad) for as long as it takes to meet up with him (in heaven) she is remarkably accepting of the situation. She has refused all treatment as she says it is her time...

It's more my MIL I'm worried about as she's going to be lost without her as she speaks to her everyday.

DippyChristmas · 11/12/2007 23:43

T'was me, CC - not sure about wise though. Would love to hear your whole story sometime - God rescued, you waaaaahoooo!

Glad you are warm, BM ; about DS, praying. xxxx

Praying for all affected by the shootings, harrisey. xx

{{{{{NSFN}}}}}

QofQ - He is with God now. He is with God. xx

Muppetgirl, praying for your MIL and her mum, such a tough time for them all - I hope a peaceful end comes soon. xx

Sorry I've only been brief, off to bed with prayers in my heart for each of you special people. xx

DingdongMaryBonhigh · 12/12/2007 07:58

Just a flying visit, but wanted to quote St Paul (don't think he's a MNetter though!):

Romans 8:
26 Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but that very Spirit intercedes with sighs too deep for words. 27 And God, who searches the heart, knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.

I'll also share with you an email I've received this am:

"Dear Mary
I am just hoping that someone has asked you to take our carol service as you did last year???? It is this Sunday at 4.00pm. The service sheets are all ready - all you need to do is front it,make a short "welcome and introduction", and say some prayers near the end. I hope this has not come as a nasty shock to you!".

For those of you who remember, this was my first ever service, and I was told "just a few people turned up", only it was a church full of people! I am waiting to hear back as to whether I'm down to do it - the Vicar hasn't mentioned it!

DingdongMaryBonhigh · 12/12/2007 08:19

Panic over... I'm NOT down to do it! Shame, I was already planning my introduction in my head!

NotquiteChristmasyet · 12/12/2007 10:20

Flying by. Good morning all.

Bobsmum - could you arrange to go into school for a few days. Perhaps if ds knew you were watching, he would settle a bit more, and then be able to apply that for when you weren't there? Apologies if you have already tried this.

I'm not being very good at praying at the moment either. Hmmmm. Busyness getting in the way, methinks. Will sit down at home later for special prayers for you all.

DutchOmainapeartree · 12/12/2007 17:46

Do you like my Christmas name?

bobsmum · 12/12/2007 18:16

Evening - ds seems to have had a better day in that I've not had a letter home!

I'll be in school tomorrow because the children have a "Christmas shopping" time AKA a bring and buy sale, so I'll keep an eye on him and see how he is with his friends etc. I'm hoping to have a proper meeting with his teacher next week. Some folks on the sN board have suggested I get him referred to a paediatrician through the GP. A bit scary, but it might nip all the incertainty in the bud.

Bump is enormous all of a sudden and a friend has given me a support belt as my SPD twinges have been worse over the last few days. Although they disappeared for almost a whole week after friends at my BIble study laid hands on me PTL!!

DD has cracked the potty training in a week, which is such a relief - especially as ds took 18 months!!

bobsmum · 12/12/2007 18:17

Like your Christmas name DO

I was thinking about either:

LittledrummerBob

or

WhenachildisBob

votes please!

DingdongMaryBonhigh · 12/12/2007 18:20

Or redredrobingoesbobbobbobbingalong

Hot off the press... I'm going to co-lead the carol service in our main church instead...

DingdongMaryBonhigh · 12/12/2007 18:21

DO - alternative for you.. OmaInaManger

DutchOmainapeartree · 12/12/2007 18:48

Made me laugh Mary, but no, I think the occupant of the manger is exclusive.
Glad ds had a better day at school Bobsmum and hurray for dd and her potty training. I think boys take longer to get it, I think

notsofarnow · 12/12/2007 19:10

DippyChristmas · 12/12/2007 19:49

CaptainCaveman · 12/12/2007 20:54

notsofartobethlehemnow?

Praying for you Bobsmum, especially if you do get gp to refer.

liking the name DOiapt!

Prayers much needed for my friend and her lo in the mum & baby unit. She had her ECt a couple of weeks ago but no improvement yet. Just spoke to her MIL and she says she's really no better and the consultant doesn't know if she can come home for Christmas . Praying for a miracle in her recovery, but also for her dh, her lo's who are 3 and 0.7 and her older boy who is 11. Please God, help her and heal her.

DingdongMaryBonhigh · 12/12/2007 21:08

I always thought He was inclusive, DO, that's why I love Him so much!

NSFN - I like CCM's suggestion, don't think I could top that! What do you reckon? How are you today/this evening anyhow? Thinking of you/praying for you...

NorthernLurkerwithastarontop · 12/12/2007 21:11

Oh CC - I had been praying she would be home for Christmas - well there's time yet - will carry on.
