Get Praying!!

Awww, pepperpots You will cry when you're ready. (((((((pp)))))))

Guys - i put a new piccie on my profile...I have a tan!! (make that i had a tan)

Pepperpots, I saw that you'd said that on another thread, but tears can be a form of release of all the pent-up feelings you are currently holding in. I know its hard to accept what has happened, and it may be that if you start crying, you'll feel as if you'll never stop. I've not been through what you've been through, but I have had the need to cry recently. I've even been into church on my own, specifically to have a good cry in front of God. I think it was DO who said that crying is a form of prayer, and it really felt like that for me. I was able to cry in front of God when I couldn't cry in front of my family or friends. Does that make sense? I've even shouted at God in my tears . You don't have to be emotionally strong to cry. Maybe (like me) you fear the floodgates will open and you'll be unable to cope with how that'll make you feel? But will it be any worse than you feel now?

I just want to help, as do all of us. Please know we are all here for you! If you think I'm talking crap, say so! If you want me to shut up, tell me to shut the f* up, I can take it!

the -- thing didn't work...

2nd Dec, preaching on "fishers of men", do you reckon I should incorporate "it was THIS big!", into the sermon?

For what it's worth Pepperpots, I think you are wise just at the moment to hold off the tears. You have a family to look after, a job to go to, eventually it will come out but it may just be more gradual. So long as you don't think you are a cold hard heated b**ch for not crying. You are dealing with what is an incredibly hard situation in the best way you can.
What I said Mary, and it is true in this case as well is that tears are as much a language of the spirit as is speaking in tongues. Sometimes our tears can say what our words cannot. (It wasn't me, but the first Baptist minister I ever met who said it)
How are you now anyway?

lol, Mary. Definitely

Special prayers Pepperpots. Apologies if this is not an appropriate suggestion for where you are now, but if you need someone to talk to/cry with Cruze are brilliant and I know that they accept miscarriage as a bereavement. You can google them and email them from their home page, if you feel it would be good to talk to someone.

Thinking of you.

Goodnight all.

praying Pepperpots as Mary said, not magic solutions, and yes anything I do say will sound like a cliche. Just know that we are upholding you in prayer, and if tghere is anything practical we can do please ask. {{{hugs}}}

CC - BD = babydancing (ie sex!)

have spent all evening doing homework for my course - am LOVING it!

marslady - will pray for an easy journey and good family times together come what may.

Pepperpots - I'm so sorry for the pain you are feeling - will pray for you of course. God knows you and loves you far more than any of us can ever imagine and He intends good things for you. I know that can seem hard when there is something you want so much but there is light beyond the dark places and you will get there. May the love of God uphold you and comfort you.

Thats fab Panda - you sound like a Mcdonalds advert

Girls, look out for lady deez - I'm waiting for my friend to come and say Hi!

Right, if you don't hear from me for the next 24 hours send out a search party as it means I've fallen off the mountain of ironing I'm about to lay in to......

Peace, love and blessings to you all. May you see God in all that you do today.

CC - Please send some of your infectious happiness my way, lots of ttc obviously suits you good luck!

{{{{{{waves madly}}}}}} I can see that mountain of ironing from the otherside of notts!

CD - Love Mr Dippys new chair, Amber wants one!!!!!

Right HOMEWORK! - Please God make my knowledge to sink in!!!!!!!!!

Pepperpots, so so sorry for your loss. I heard this lovely prayer once; "May words of comfort rest gently upon your heart, and in time may they become words of healing."

CCM that was a lovely prayer for us! May we indeed see God in all that we do today.

And I am taking my ds out to lunch! How exciting! (Pizza - yum!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Oooh I have a prayer need too please - this weekend I am doing a prayer ministry course. It sounds fab - sessions on how to pray for the sick, the bereaved, how to lead people to Christ, and so on. It starts tonight, all day tomorrow and Sunday too. Please pray for strength, and stamina! And for learning principles that I can use to the glory of God and for the benefit of his people. And for dh, looking after the dc at home for the second weekend running. (This is unusual! I am feeling slightly guilty about not being around two weekends in a row, but after this we will have loads of family time together. And dh is wonderful about not making me feel guilty.)

Have a good day!

Yes we are (vaguely) ttc and yes DH loved the Barbie chair ..... going to have to start saving .....

Praying for you as you commence this course rosey - sounds like exciting and heavy stuff - God keep you healthy and open up your brain!

{{{{{{PepperPots}}}}}} Goodness, you started some swearing on the Prayer Thread - you must be special!! Like DO said - you are wise not to cry atm, you are carrying on because you have a home to run, a DH and DC's to care for - your time for grieving will come and I 2nd NQGU's suggestion of a chat with Cruz - they are a wonderful organisation - Don't try to go it alone and take everything upon yourself - share you burden sweetheart. We are all here for you and we care about your deeply, and you Heavenly Father cares waaaaaay more than us - So go to Him, allow Him to comfort you and strengthen you in your hour of need. xxxxx

Love your pics btw, CC - You are gorgeous andy our DS is scrummy! xx

That sounds very exciting indeed, Rosey. May God bless you richly in all you attempt to do for Him. Prayers for dh as well, good that he now has the time to look after the children in the weekend and is not on such awkward shifts anymore

Praying for learning stamina for Soozy and ongoing prayers for Pepperpost and Creambunnie.

Hi DO!

Message withdrawn

Happy Birthday to Mr Podmog and DDPodmog respectively - hope the sleepover goes well Continuing to pray about your housing situation sweetie ..... and for your debut at Cafe Church - will have a thinkabout material for you to use and post later ......

Feeling rough - sore neck, yuk .... right, need to start thinking about lunch for my little ones .....

hi to all, finding it difficult to keep up atm
had dh away for 3 days, got a middle of the night phone call to say his dad had had a massive heart attack , he died wednesday night
dh has been busy making all the arrangements, but will come back tonight and we will all go up next week for the funeral
please pray that it goes ok, and pray for mil, 51 years married , he had been ill, but she is in a bit of a state from what i can gather, not surprising really
i wish i had been able to go with him, hes had noone there for him the last few days . its been hard knowing hes not to walk in through the door in the evening, to give me a break, made me think of all the single parents out there who never get a break.
i watched the mummy diaries last night, truly brave people.
on top of that , i am down to be baptised tomorrow, dh will be back late tonight , and its in my old home, 20 miles away. not sure i want to go and leave him now, even for a couple of hours , they dont do it very often. i think the enemy doesnt want it to happen.

oh big hugs mufti, and prayers for your DH and MIL. Is there any chance he would come with you tomorrow to the baptism?

Mufti!! You didn't tell us that you were going to be baptised, did you? How wonderful! Prayers that you might get there, and prayers for your dh and mil too. Maybe dh will want to come with you?

i think he would PG , i had already asked him , but now, i dont know. firstly its a bit late in the day, 6pm, he had already said a bit late for ds, who goes to bed at 7 .
also, with the strain hes had, and driving all the way back tonight, it doesnt seem fair, he will be tired , and just want to be at home im sure, bad timing, it sems.
but im so good at putting things off , and i have put this off before and it is important...

they dont do it very often, it has been on the notices for a few weeks, but i only decided on sunday. then he went and i didnt at first now when he was coming back

i will mention it in the morning, when hes had a chance to chill

and thats too NQGU TOO oops

Aw mufti, what a dilema, its lovely to be baptised, its such a special time, I'd want to share it with all my loved ones, like you say bad timing, is anything ever good timing! my prayers for dh as he sorts family sad times out!

Revision went down like a lead balloon, had a silent confrontation with a collegue (via other people) called 'Gossip' I'm just a bit shaky now - Serpent go away!!!!!!!
