I'm not too bad today. The Big Bishop of our Diocese is really lovely and is so concerned, as are others in the church leadership, so they're a great support, as is everyone here too. Email on its way, SS.

Prayers continuing for everyone.

ZipadiSuzy · 03/06/2008 20:40

Welcome back Mary!

MaryBS · 03/06/2008 21:55

Thank you all . Am just back from a tutorial, and am off to bed, but am away again (!) this weekend, on a retreat, which I'm VERY much looking forward to!

cvq - praying for you, in fact, I can't get that hymn out of my head now, "one more step along the road I go", do you know it? {hugs}

Pls pray I can get cracking on with my coursework. Some people have nearly finished already, and I haven't submitted ONE piece yet

MaryBS · 03/06/2008 21:59

OOO just wanted to share this. DS had a go at reciting the Lord's prayer. He didn't get very far but I LOVE his version!

Our Father
Who art in heaven
Hello

Swaliswan · 03/06/2008 22:31

For you Mary and CVQ...

One more step along the world I go,
One more step along the world I go,
From the old things to the new
Keep me travelling along with you.
And it's from the old I travel to the new,
Keep me travelling along with you.

Round the corners of the world I turn,
More and more about the world I learn.
And the new things that I see
You'll be looking at along with me.

As I travel through the bad and good
Keep me travelling the way I should.
Where I see no way to go
You'll be telling me the way, I know.

Give me courage when the world is rough,
Keep me loving whehn the world is tough.
Leap and sing in all I do,
Keep me travelling along with you.

Amber I'll e-mail you tomorrow. I need to go to bed now and have been tied up on the phone to my aunt who is quite mentally ill atm. My mum told me today that the doctors were talking about admitting her to a psych ward

Swaliswan · 03/06/2008 22:33

Oh, almost forgot, Mary ROFL at DS's version of the Lord's prayer!

ZipadiSuzy · 04/06/2008 10:16

Sorry, could I just have a prayer for my ds, we had a major fight last night got quite physical, he's a big boy and very strong. I am so upset with myself for biting the bait! we were both distraught, but managed to talk things through, I just hope and pray that we can be less angry, I love him so much I'm in pain. I don't like this teenager stage, we both struggle with life it makes me sad, I should be able to be the adult, and be calm. I'd like to get help but I'm ashamed! (understatement)

ZipadiSuzy · 04/06/2008 10:16

Sorry

CaptainDippy · 04/06/2008 10:27

Don't be sorry Soooz my love. Praying for healing in your relationship with your precious oldest boy I've not been through the teenage stage yet, but I was one not so long ago & I know what a hard stage it is - for you and for him. Perhaps it would help to chat on the "teenagers" bit of MN - to get some advice and reassurance. Bless you sweetheart. Here for you. xx

Glad you feeling much better nsfn

Oh dear SS Praying you all get better asap. You poor things. Can you mother help out much? xx

@ house needed rewiring Rosey - praying for clarity on your decisions sweetie. How is DDs eye today?

Good to have you back Mary

Well Done CVQ - YOU DID IT!! Keep going honey ......

I am still in a dark place right now and feeling anxious and stressed and emotional especially since our car broke down yesterday is going to cost waaaay more than we could possibly afford to fix God is the only thing keeping me going right now - that and my beautiful girls.

Awww, glad DS is a lot better MJIM Great that he is sleeping so well too! to yukky eyes though, I had that a couple of months back and it was horrid. Cleared up very quickly with the drops though!

OP posts:
ZipadiSuzy · 04/06/2008 14:21

CD - thank for the support, have been on 'teenagers' bit of mn, if only to speak to the pro's of teenagers! am still really upset at my reaction though! pray that doesn't ever happen again!

ZipadiSuzy · 04/06/2008 14:23

CD - Sorry CD, in my own world, and forgot to mention how sorry I am that you are in such a dark place.

Prayers for a rainbow so you can climb out into the light!

Swaliswan · 04/06/2008 14:54

I wonder if I could ask for your continued prayer? I am much better today physically but I am continually tormented by thoughts going round in my head. I'm feeling very down and don't know how to lift myself out of it.

amber32002 · 04/06/2008 15:17

Lots of prayers all round.

And Mary, that's the best Lord's Prayer version I've heard so far

ZipadiSuzy · 04/06/2008 16:01

SS - Aw SS prayers that serpent stops

notsofarnow · 04/06/2008 16:53

cd just cling on to God and those wee girlies and if it gets too much then get to the gp. You are wonderful and worth it and God will provide.

ss being tormented by thoughts is horrid try counteracting them with a positive and telling yourself this isnt going to beat you even if you feel it is.

Think Z's rainbow idea is beutiful for all those in dark places atm.

Took dd to fracture clinic this morning she has to keep shoulder imobolised for another two weeks and then go back and then possibly refer her to a shoulder specialist, her shoulder socket should be like a bowl but its like a saucer so thts why it slips from its socket, could also explain problems with her knees. Frightening thing is all 4 of them could have the same problem inherited from thier dad but i guess we wont know until any one ofthem hurts thier shoulder its then it manifests itsself.

oh well off to swim lessons in a min.

CaptainDippy · 04/06/2008 18:45

Praying. xx

nsfn - to DDs shoulder problem - isn't there a way the others can be "tested" so to speak so any future problems could be conteracted before they actually happen!!?

OP posts:
CaptainCaveman · 04/06/2008 20:59

Praying for you all, and praying I make more time to spend with you all in fellowship. Still full of cold and cough but definately feeling better than I did.

MaryBS · 04/06/2008 21:08

Praying that God's grace may be with you all, to heal those who are ill, struggling, in mental anguish, or in any form of need, and to send his Spirit to lift your spirits, so that you may feel His closeness and comforting presence. May the peace of Christ be with you. xxx

Swaliswan · 04/06/2008 21:39

Mary and Amber, thank-you for your e-mails. They both helped and have given me a lot to think about. I am struggling once more with issues that have troubled me since childhood and the wounds run deep. It is difficult to deal with this when I can feel the devil sitting on my shoulder and telling me that people are still treating me the way I was treated as a child (bullied, misunderstood, no friends etc, etc, etc).

MaryBS · 04/06/2008 22:03

SS - I'm glad to be able to help. The problem isn't you, its other people's attitudes - they are the ones that need to change, if that is how they are treating you. But its not what they think, its what God thinks that matters. This is something I tell myself all of the time - that no matter how misunderstood I am, or feel myself to be, He ALWAYS knows me, inside and out, and knows and LOVES the REAL me - Psalm 139

{hugs}

Swaliswan · 04/06/2008 22:06

Thank-you x
