Roseylea · 15/02/2008 10:45

How annoying Panda! I'd really miss my dishwasher.

Sorry to hear you're under the weather CD - look after yourself!

Our house resembles a bomb site atm - I'm having a huge sort-out / move everything around! It's silly to get stressed about the house, I know - it'll all come clear at the right time. It's just that our house is pretty small (hence this morning's big clear-out) and I would love a bigger house! It's a very selfish thing really...Lord help me keep my perspective on eternity!

CaptainDippy · 15/02/2008 10:53

Oh, Rosey - don't feel bad, I am absolutely convinced that we all get the feelings you are describing from time-to-time - This house we are living in now is a miracle - an absolute gift from God, but still I moan about it!! So if you are silly, I am MORE silly!

We have a Dishwasher .....

.... It's name is Captain Dippy!!

Hello ladies

Life is incredibly hectic here. I have been reading/lurking, but not had time to post this week.

Praying, especially for SS, and CWE, and FAQ, and CD with your interview, and everybody!

CC - Happy Birthday

Panda - there were several dishwashers on our local freecycle last time I looked. Could be worth a peep.

Rosey, I went through exactly the same feelings as you last year. I got as far as visiting other houses, finding a really nice one, and started to tidy up ours to sell, whilst praying about it. Then ours looked a lot better and I had a real sense of peace about staying here too. Praying for you to know where you should be - and to have fun visiting other houses if you want to!

By the way, did I mention that we are off to Australia in a few weeks time?!! (Mum and Dad are coming to housesit for us, so I am having to do loads of cleaning as well as packing/shopping/planning!) It's our first trip to visit family down under, and I would appreciate prayers for the flights, for peace and to remember whose hands my life is in. (Tend to have overwhelming urge to want to go to supervise the pilot, and to check that he is doing everything right!)

Hi Mufti, and DO, and Sooz and Worzella and NSFN and everybody!

May our Heavenly Father bless you all and may you know Him close to you today.

DutchOma · 15/02/2008 17:35

How exciting NQGU. Have a wonderful trip. When are you going? When are you back?

notsofarnow · 15/02/2008 21:26

Right ladies I think i'm just about getting there. I have had more positive days than bad and this morning I was driving and found my self smiling for no reason.

Also i think tomorrow may see the house a bit tidier, this morning i only had 1 bed that was sleepable in but now I have 5. If everything finds a home it will be a miracle and if I ever suggest moving rooms around again then someone please talk me out of it.

Also prayers for Sunday we're back in our hall after being out for 9 months there is a huge poster up advertising lunch. At the last count i think there were 118 on the list. The main worship hall is ready but the builders are still in - the lift isn't in thanks to british Gas needing to move a gas pipe.

So prayers please that it runs smoothly our officer lost his sermon prep on the computer this morning so praying that turns up too.

ZipadiSuzy · 15/02/2008 21:59

MaryBS · 16/02/2008 11:34

SS - how are things? Praying that you feel God's presence in your life, may he strengthen and support you, and lift you up. May he hold you in his arms and wrap you in his loving care. Be still and know he is there for you... {hugs}

CC meant to send you a text wishing you a happy birthday, only it didn't happen . Hope you had a happy birthday anyway.

Prayers for you all... must dash, got things to do today, and not enough time to do it in!

Mary xxx

CrushWithEyeliner · 16/02/2008 11:44

DD is doing much better - just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone who prayed for her. She seems to be getting better without the medication prescribed that didn't work... make of that what you will

God bless you all x

CaptainCaveman · 16/02/2008 13:54

Praise God for your little DDs illness improving CWE - it is so magnificent to see the power of prayer making a difference.

Just been playing hockey....we lost 9-2. Hmmm.

Notquitegrownup · 16/02/2008 14:30

Afternoon all. Flying by. We're not off yet - a few more weeks to go, yet.

Soo pleased to hear about dd CWE. Prayers for little P, CD and for you too.

SS continuing to hold you in my prayers.

God bless all.

Swaliswan · 17/02/2008 08:56

Good morning everyone.

CWE it's great to hear how your dd is healing. How are you doing?

NQGU praying that you enojy your time away and that the travelling isn't too stressful.

CC shame about the hockey. Praying that everything is fine with your precious little bean and that you are enjoying the second trimester - yay!

CD praying that P isn't suffering too much and that you all managed to enjoy your time at the farm. I hope that you are feeling OK and I'm getting excited that you may have some good ttc news

Mary did you manage to get everything done the other day? Are you still snowed under with stuff to do?

NSFN I know exactly what you mean about not knowing whether to move or not. We would love to be able to buy a house instead of the flat that we live in. It can't do any harm to have some fun looking at other houses.

Rosey praying for your little home

Panda how annoying about your dishwasher. Praying that you find an affordable replacement soon.

Myjob how is little bean? Are you keeping well? I'm continuing to pray for all of the October ladies.

DO praise the Lord for friends like you. Thank-you for our chat last night xxx

Everyone else, I'm praying for your too.

I'm struggling a bit at the moment and value your prayers. I have to see the GP tomorrow and am not looking forward to it. I'm sorry if I don't post much over the next few days. I am still thinking and praying for you all even if I don't post.

Thank-you Lord for bringing DH home early this weekend and that it was him sneaking in to bed at 11pm last night not an intruder

CaptainDippy · 17/02/2008 10:15

Glad DH ish ome SS - praying for God to send His Angels concerning you

Great that DD seems to be getting better CWE - the power of prayer, eh!!?

P's Pox are very bad she was up and in our bed for a fair old while last night and DD2 was in there with a high temp too - so fairly tired this am. Friend is taking DD1 to church and P is sleeping already - we're hoping to get DD2 down for a little nap too before we have to go over to outlaws for quick lunch. Deary me!!
