Prayers aplenty for everyone.

SS, so sad to hear about your experiences - no wonder you're so full of worry about all of this.

FAQ, again so sad to hear that you are experiencing a relationship that is not based on love and mutual respect but on control and domination. That's not how it's supposed to be. C of E doesn't require people to stay together "for better for worse" if a relationship is so abusive that someone is living in fear or being damaged by the words and actions, or their children are. The policy's really clear on it - it's always ok to seek safety even from things that aren't outright violence.

PS prayers of thanks from me - I've managed to find a vicar and a church where they are delighted to welcome me to a quieter service with communion, and they can find me a friend to be with me and give me basic information on what will be in the service each week. Hooray!! First attempt will be on 2nd March.

Thankyou so much for that link amber - it looks very useful - I shall have proper read of it while I'm away and hopefully it will help me sort out my spiritual/Christian values and feelings from my personal ones IYKWIM

May I join you and request for Prayers for my DD who is extremely ill at the moment? Not really sure how this works so please let me know

Of course you can join us Crushwitheyeliner - everyone is most welcome. And of course we will pray for your dd. Really sorry to hear she is ill. It must be hard on you too? Have a hug((((((CWEL & dd)))))). The others will be along soon to say hello too!
Apart from prayer is there any other way we can help?

Ladies, my dear friend would really appreciate your prayers - she had her 12 week scan today and has to go back in 1 week to see cons due to excess fluid at back of baby's neck. They didn't tell her anything, only NOT to look on the internet!! I've reassured her as best I can and given her the name of a place near us that does private scans. Her name is H.

Thank-you CC, I think everything medically is being done for her at the moment but I am a strong believer in Prayer and have faith that it will help her to get better and start to respond to treatment. I will also pray for your friend.

Sooz - hows the Zippy household now? All quiet on the western front??

Whereabouts are you CWE? Do you mind if I ask whats wrong with dd and how long she's been ill? Tell me to bugger off if I'm being too nosey .

I live in NOttingham with dh (40) and ds (3.9) and a little bean in my tummy (13+6). I will be 35 on friday !

CC you are so old!! Praying for your friend H, a really worrying time for her. xx

Great news about church Amber - will praying March 2nd (and before that of course wink])

Praying for your DD, CWE - Good to have you here, glad you found us!

CD you cheeky young whippersnapper. Wait there whilst I whack you with my walking stick [twhack]

thanks so much . i am in kent - DD has lots of ongoing problems at the moment her impetigo is not responding to AB which could have serious consequences. I (we) are rather a mess at the moment x

Praying that the ABs start to work very very soon, or that they find an AB which is effective.

Ouch CC

Oh CWE {{{{hugs}}}} A horrid time for you - how old is DD? Is she your only child? Whereabout in Kent are you? xx

it's awful - she s only 14m

xxxx Whereabouts in Kent are you sweetie?

Welcome myjobismum - we will definitely pray for you. One of my favourite "shout out loud prayers is "Lord I believe, help my unbelief". God gives strength to all those who ask for it. Love your pix btw!

Crushwitheyeliner - welcome to you too, and praying for your DD, and for strength for you and yours...

SS - a belated congrats on the pregnancy! May you experience much joy and happiness!

Amber, fantastic news on your church, may it prove fruitful for both you and them!

LOL Sooz!!! We had a fantastic time, the guests were John Barrowman (he's gorgeous, such a waste... ), Ricky Hatton and Myleene Class (sp?). Band was Hard-Fi (never heard of them , but apparently they are famous)

Off to bed now - need an early night!

God bless all

Mary +++

Hey Myjob

It's great to see you here. I'm feeling exactly the way you have described about my pg. I can't wait to see little bean but it's going to be about two months before I can I don't think that I ever knew that everything was fine with my last pg until DD was kicking me on a regular basis. I try to be calm and trust the Lord but I don't really feel worthy of another baby iyswim and keep on expecting everything to go wrong. I think that you are very brave to have handed it over to God. I'm trying to do that but failing miserably. Ho hum, the joys of the first trimester, eh?!

Sooz how are things now? Has peace been restored in the Zipadi household?

CC praying for H. I can't believe that the hospital said that. The first thing I would do would be to sit for hours on Google. Has the reality of pg set in for you especially now that you have seen little bean or have you never had a problem with 'feeling' pregnant?

CWEL praying for you and your DD. How are you feeling in yourself? I'm guessing that you are exhausted either physically or emotionally. Lord, please heal CWEL and her DD. You know how your gorgeous daughters are suffering. May they know your presence, Father.

DO how are you? I'll e-mail you soon about the knitting but I think that I should go to bed now as I have a busy day tomorrow.

Love to all xxx

How wonderful to see new people on this thread, trusting the Lord enough to ask us for prayer.
Father hold all in your hand. Bless these very little beans already so precious, bless CWEL's little dd, make the antibiotics work and heal her.
Calm all nervousness and fear and bring that peace that exceeds all peace and that the world cannot give.
May we all have untroubled sleep, knowing that you watch over us.
Thank you Lord.

Don't worry about any knitting for now SS, you might want some more

Hello everyone - including the newcomers - great to see you. I'm 36 with 4 dc in North Wales. Praying for your problems ds has just had impetigo its one of those that does the rounds in our house now and again. Praying for all those beans out there too.

Please pray that I manage to get this house sorted before dc come home on Saturday. I am soooooo fed up of decorating and moving bedrooms round now. There is so much stuff between ds and dd bedroom and mine which are being swapped as mine was bigget and gives them more room. I am fed up of painting in the last 6 weeks I have stripped out and decorated 3 bedrooms and the living room.

Tomorrow I need to give my bedroom another coat of white before I put the cream on, I need to put flat pack wardrobe toghether and put a bed together, paing ceiling in my room and gloss oh aye and deliver dd's papers because she's away. I just want to do nothing now - so much for being on the sick.

On a positive note am definately having more positive days than negative now, have another two week sick note and have cbt on monday. Please pray that I keep feeling positive and that this horrid depression has finally lifted.

Oh yes and just another one my new neighbours are very noisey like its 10.40 and I can hear them thats dc too who just dont seem to go to bed at any particular time. Maybe I should just make lots of noise early in the morning seems I always seem to be awake at unearthly hours.

Right am off to bed to see if i can get some sleep, all I want is a lie in and this morning I was up at 4.20 putting a bed together. Never mind only 1 more bed and a 4 door wardrobe to go.

Oh dear - I have lurked but not posted so not made it on the round-up!

Panda's friends are mine too and so there is much sadness amongst the worzells too happy for our friends of course but ....!

Our friend in the teenage psychiatric unit is improving but it's for the long haul - perhaps about 6-9 months -

Praying for the pregnacies on here - I had 3 mcs and so I know how hard those first weeks can be - I have 3dc now!
