so glad to hear you sounding more positive Podmog

amber32002 · 15/03/2008 10:07

Podmog, they have your love, and you care about them and their lives, and that's pretty much enough, honest it is. Trust that love is enough. Trouble is, when children reach a certain age, I think it does bring back childhood memories, and those are so difficult to get through alone.
Prayers for you, and for all.

ZipadiSuzy · 15/03/2008 11:34

Podmog - That damn serpent hey! trying to interfere with our faith and strength

CC - hope ds gets in at your first choice school. You must have a double in Keyworth! Have you sold your house?

CD - prayers for you atm, r u ok?

ZipadiSuzy · 15/03/2008 11:39

Praise the good lord, I have been offered a new job at work, you are now looking at 'little old me, a swimming instructor'

I am sooooooo happy, feel very honoured, but don't start until I have completely recovered, I am signed off work for another week, still dizzy and feel faint!

DH has been off work 2 weeks with this lung infection too, please god let him get well for Monday, he has a garden makeover to do whilst a customers wife is in malta, (as a suprise) all very exciting!

Serpent go away, we can beat you!

Roseylea · 15/03/2008 13:48

Podmog I'm praying for you too. Praying for a safe place to heal the hurts.

Oooooh you put your finger right on it Suze! I feel the serrpent around me too atm! I'm having a bit of a rough time. I'm also leading the service and preaching tomorrow morning. Please pray that it all goes all right and brings glory to Jesus (the King! which is what my talk's all about! Woo-hoo!)

We are going to use this new (to us anyway) song, if you want to listen - really beautiful!

cross

ZipadiSuzy · 15/03/2008 14:57

MaryBS · 15/03/2008 19:24

Lovely, Rosey! Praying the Holy Spirit will speak through you tomorrow.

Please say a little prayer for ds, he's just been quite sick (x2) before going to bed, after saying his tummy hurt. Praying its just a short lived bug thing.

MaryBS · 16/03/2008 09:26

Wishing you all a joyous Palm Sunday! Hosanna!

MaryBS · 16/03/2008 09:43

Podmog - is there any way you could give him a hand, setting up/putting away?

I will hold you in my prayers.

I wasn't going to say anything, but I don't want to go to church today either, I'm in what I can only describe as "an unsociable mood", where I just don't want to be around people. I feel like this from time to time, but have never voiced it before...

Maybe if we can hold each other in prayer?

MaryBS · 16/03/2008 10:01

I'm still going though, am leading the prayers...

ZipadiSuzy · 16/03/2008 11:45

Good on you Podmog and Mary, keep that strength going proud of you.

CC - howz ds this morning? prayers for a quick recovery!

CD - Continuous prayers for you and your beautiful little family.

It was a good service, the music chosen for it was LOVELY and uplifting, but I stumbled over the prayers a bit. The mike hadn't been put out, and the cabling got caught up in the shelving for the hymnbooks. I managed to free it up enough to get it vaguely in position. I managed to say one of the prayers TWICE (then apologised - doh, should have carried on as if I hadn't noticed! ). I felt a complete idiot.

DS played up during the service too. He sat with the Sunday club until they all went out/came back, but was making an absolute racket during communion. I'm still waiting to hear whether I'm going to get any flack for that... , as I was sitting with someone else (the lady who was recently widowed).

podglet · 16/03/2008 17:18

Hi ladies,

Just trying to catch up and failing miserably. Am not enjoying the pg at the moment soooo uncomfortable and achey. had a routine appointment with my consultant on Thursday, he was on hols so saw one of his team, who doesn't know my history. She was lovely but when she measured me and found I was coming up 5cms bigger than I should be i.e 38 cms, not 33, she panicked a bit, which stressed me out and before I knew it, I was being rushed down the corridor for an emergency scan. Turns out I have the polyhydramnios again (excess amniotic fluid), which although worrying, at least I am clued up about. I have been told now that because of my c-section scarring and general hugeness that she could be even earlier than DS was (37 weeks). So DP and I have decided that we are going to ask for a planned section for 37 weeks. Prayers appreciated for the consultant's agreement and for my anxiety please???

Podmog, sorry to hear this morning wsa horrid for you

CD - how are you all lovely? and how is the south coast at the moment? Can you give me a weather report for next weekend?!

CC - hope DS is feeling better, poor thing.

Sooz - well done on the job and hope you are feeling much bouncier now.

Sorry to miss people but DP bugging me for laptop {hmm] prayers and love to all

MaryBS · 16/03/2008 19:58

NL, DO and Bobsmum - just wanted to apologise for not replying with thanks for your ideas about Harvest Festivals! . Thank you anyway, even if its a bit late!

Sorry, a lot on my mind. I've finished one of my other assignments and am returning back to this one!

Podglet - praying for your and your worries and that all goes well with the consultant.

Bobsmum - how are YOU btw?

NorthernLurker · 16/03/2008 22:11

Mary - dh has come home and told me that at our service tonight a line had been left out of the powerpoint song words for one of the hymns. So that threw the whole congregation - and the music group. Hymn ground to a halt and there was then some toing and froing as they tried to fix it rather than just moving on as well I read your post to dh - he said 'oh good it's not just us then'

MaryBS · 17/03/2008 07:55

Tell him, his was worse than mine!

Praying for all those who hurt and struggle with day to day life. May God send the healing touch of Jesus into their lives, that they may know the light of Christ and feel Him working to lift them up high above their problems, shielding them from misery, enabling them to rejoice in his great glory. Amen

Praying also for RL today, may God guide her words and actions, and give her strength in adversity, so that all may know she is called by Christ to minister to His people. Amen

PandaG · 17/03/2008 08:02

morning all

thanks fo ryour prayers, and feeling a bit less stressed, but sore - fell out of a taxi on the way to a night out with Worzella, shredded my knee and tights, and bruised ribs and shoulder and wrist!

podmog, praying for you honey, sorry that church was such a trial for you yesterday.

Mary, sorry the prayers went wrong...how is the harvest sermon going?

Podglet, praying for you in this pg, and that your planned section goes smoothly.

must dash, have DD's hair to do before school.

MaryBS · 17/03/2008 08:34

Oh Panda! Glad to hear you're feeling less stressed - what did you do about your night out? Did you still go?

Harvest sermon, I THINK I know what I'm doing, it came to me in the night. I THINK its going to be on words that can be made from the word Harvest - including Share and Starve. Maybe pictures on Powerpoint of harvests - successful and failed ones. Maybe mention organisations that work with poverty, Christian Aid, Tearfund, etc. Finish up with having 2 groups of children, one twice the size of the other, but giving 2 loaves of bread to the smaller group, 1 loaf to the larger group.

How does that sound?

Roseylea · 17/03/2008 09:07

Hello all! Mary thank you sooooooooooooo much for your prayer! I really need it! Although I'm feeling pretty chipper this morning.

I'm facing a few discouragements atm about ministry - this last week has been hard. I'm going to see the DDO (the Very Important Man) this morning to talk about Spirituality and the church. I'd really really value your prayers for clarity and quickness of thought (I need that in these meetings!) and for Jesus to be glorified through me today. Thank you!

I will catch up wit hthe thread later properly - I feel a bit cheeky just coming in and asking for prayer!

Must dash and get ready...

ZipadiSuzy · 17/03/2008 11:46

Prayers for all your rough times atm!

CC - howz ds? aany better?

CD - Getting worried, where are you, are you ok?

CaptainCaveman · 17/03/2008 12:52

Hey Sooz - ds is all better now, I think it must've been something he ate (or the amount of pool water he drank!).

Panda - hope you are ok?! Were you sober at the time?

Did anyone else watch The Passion on BBC1 last night? I really quite enjoyed it.

Prayers for peaceful and happy days for you all.
