Thank you.

He is half way there now, I just wish that he could be spared the decision.

Praying Serin. I am sure that the doctor will be able to offer him sound advice, and won't let him feel that he is alone in making his decision.

Prayers for wisdom for all of the medical staff, for safe travels and peace for your dh and peace for you too waiting at home for him.

Praying that you will know that your heavenly father is particularly close to you all at this time.

Well said NQGU

Prayers for my new job apprecaited - I feel lost in a sea of information!!

Just popping in briefly to update you all. After more arguments and discussion - H is moving out next weekend .

I have a completely manic week following on from there as it's Easter week and I'm the church organist - so could do with some prayers to help get me through that when I don't have H as a fallback for looking after the DS's.......

{Hugs} FAQ. It cant be easy for you, but you have our prayers...

You too Serin, you and your DH. Have you spoken to him this morning? I got the impression he would be staying over? Praying

CD - prayers for you and your job. It's always difficult when something is new, but you're more than capable, just look at how you make sense of all our praying to put into a neat summary at the start of each thread! {hugs}

I was just wondering how you were FAQ. Very sad to hear things have not improved for you and sad too that Easter week is manic for me too so can't help much even though you are the only MNter near enough to reach.

Yes i was thinking ofy ou too FAQ {{{{hugs}}}} I am praying for you and your precious family honey. Praying everything sorts itself ok and that God carries you through this time. xx

No word from Soooz on her post!!?

Just pray for me ..... feeling like everything is all too much atm, getting panic-y and stressed .....

Thanks everyone.

Most of the stuff in Easter week I can take the DS's along anyway - it's just the school assembly that the Leapfrog team do (after school service) - DS3 will just have to come and sit in his pushchair , our Agape meal on the Thursday I think I've got my "regular" babysitter (asked her mum last night and she said that she (her DD) was around should be available), just need to figure out what to do with them Good Friday evening.....if necessary I'll just have to take them all and twist someone's arm to run a "creche" in the usual creche place.

Could do with some prayers that I can get the Good Friday "event" sorted out - I only had 5 at choir practice last night , but that's not the biggest worry - we're doing a short play too - and as yet (with just 2 weeks to go) I have no-one doing the various parts!!!

Praying FAQ. xx

I have spent most of the morning crying, I just feel so out of my depth.

Message withdrawn

Sure! xx

Message withdrawn

Message withdrawn

No I am feeling worse.

There's nothing anyone can do, I've just got to snap out of it.

oh hugs CD, and you too Podmog.
I've ben following your threads FAQ and continue to pray.

love to you all xxx

Thank you for hugs, Panda

(((((((((((CD))))))))))))) - if you haven't lost it, get the CD on that I sent you! Praying God will comfort you and that you soon start to feel better. Do you feel worse because dh is away? Wish I lived nearer, I'd come and have a coffee (oooh get me, just inviting myself round!)

just popping into say hi and prayers for everyone in good times and bad.

We have a card up on our wall with a little piece on it by Cardinal Newman - I want to share it with you all and it is going to take ages to type so I hope you like it!

'God has created me to do Him some definate service. He has committed some work to me which He has not committed to another. I have my mission. I may never know it in this world but I shall be told it in the next.
I am a link in the chain. A bond of connection between persons. He has not created me for naught. I shall do good. I shall do his work. I shall be an angel of peace. A preacher of truth in my own place while not intending it if I do but keep His commandments.
Therefore will I trust Him. Wherever, whatever I am, I can never be thrown away. if I am in sickness, my sickness may serve Him, in perplexity, my perplexity may serve Him. If I am in sorrow, my sorrow may serve Him.
He does nothing in vain. He knows what He is about. He may take away my friends, He may throw me among strangers. He may make me feel desolate, make my spirits sink, hide my future from me....still He knows what He is about.'

The other thing I've got up on the wall is 2 Corinthians 4 vs 17-18 - that is dh's favourite.

The Lord bless and keep you all

Thank you for that NL ..... and thank you for all your lovely text messages, I feel so loved I am just struggling atm andI think it is just exacerbated by the act that DH is away Just keep praying. I know you will.

Friend's mum who had the brain haemorrage is still not stable and is possibly having more tests today - on a positive note, my friend went to see her yesterday and said "she looked like my mum again" So that is positive

Friend from Uni is expecting her 1st and she's going for her 12 week scan at 10.30 today, so prayers appreciated.

{{{hugs CD}}}}}. Hope you are feeling brighter today. When is your dh back?

And {{{{Hugs}}}} FAQ for the next few weeks. May God hold you in HIs everlasting arms of love. "He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart." Psalm 91:4

Thank you for praying for my esays! I have now written them both (woo-hoo!) and I'm onto my next task - getting ready for ds's 4th birthday party tomorrow! Could you please pray that it will all go really well and that I'll get all the jobs done in time!
It's a pirate party!

Have a good day! It's beautiful here now!

still praying CD. big hugs ((()))

thanks for the NL

glad the essays are done Rosey...I should really be working on mine but am shattered after the sponsored bounce at school today...380 children, 1 bouncy castle, groups of 6 having a minute to do as many bounces as possible...and no, I didn't have a turn, over 14's not allowed!

Mary, praying for you peace while delivering your sermon

love to you all xx

Arrrrrrr me hearties!!!! Enjoy the party, Rosey - I am sure it will be fab and great fun! Pirates are ace - although if my DD1 were going she would insist on being a mermaid .... my DD2, however, would be delighted to be a Pirate. She is such a geezer bird!! Glad the essays are done

I am wading my way through yet more stuff to do with this job , but because my lovely DH got home at 1.30pm Feeling a bit better - thank you for prayers!

Great to read dh home . My dh got home a few minutes ago too - earlier than expected

Afternoon everyone

Getting back to reality (as much as my life seems to be reality...).

Moving towards 34 weeks now and feeling/looking elephantine.

Dh still loving his job PTL.

I'm getting occasional dizzy spells and had a bit of a scare last week. Low blood pressure and low blood sugar and protein in sample. I do have swelling too, but as I don't have high blood pressure, then it can't be pre-eclampsia. Feeling wobbly atm, but it's Friday - hallelujah! Dh should be home 7pm ish which is way better than we'd hoped with this new job.

Ds still in trouble at school. Have a thread running in Education:Primary if anyone wants a peek.

Headteacher has arranged to come to the house for an "informal chat" about ds. She says she's been doing "some reading" so I know the whole AS/ADHD thing will come up again. Fortunately my mum (OT and Autism specialist) will be there too to fight ds' corner.

Dh is earning a bit more with this contract so we can afford to have a take away tonight!!! So excited!!

He's working for the Scottish Govt, project managing one of their mental health projects/websites/initiatives. So he's having to become an instant expert on bi-polar disorders and all sorts of aspects of depression. He's loving the challenge.

Interestingly - it will put him in a very good position if this ghost-writing task comes to anything, because depression (esp bi-polar disorder) is key to this book.

You;d think that the Lord was equipping him to do an important task or something...no, no, must just be coincidence

Off for a comfy seat now.
