Also web link for you.... here Thanks everyone

NorthernLurker · 15/10/2008 19:48

Haven't been here for so long I thought I'd better bring a gift here
Dippy - I know you know that song - for you

Just some encouragement as well - we have a young man in our church who has been seriously ill for quite a few months, He went into hospital last week for an op and to their astonishment the doctors found his condition had resolved and he didn't need the very serious operation. We believe this is healing from God. Prayers have been answered - as they always are - and it is a blessing to us that this answer is so clear to see.

Blessed be the Name of the Lord!

JentlyDoesIt · 15/10/2008 20:36

NL - that is wonderful good to see you

Scrappy - will pray for the awful things in Iraq

Think the name is sorted... Iona Joy - watch this space though as it is subject to change

DutchOma · 15/10/2008 20:49

Scrappy, I have forwarded AW newsletter to our church office with a request that it be printed in the next church magazine.
NL that is a wonderful answer to prayer, praise be to God.
Jently, lovely names.

scrappydappydoo · 15/10/2008 21:09

Thanks everyone! Its so good to be able to share and pray with people! I just received the e-mail and God really put it on my heart to share it with you.

Evenstar · 15/10/2008 22:44

Prayers for those in need, especially in Baghdad. Just wanted to share with you that I have joined a prayer/bible study group and a craft group attached to the church, I feel that God is helping me find the support I need at this time.

Swaliswan · 16/10/2008 11:19

Just a quick prayer request from me...

I'm extremely tired today and looking after DD by myself. I know that tihs shouldn't be difficult but prayers for nap time to come quick enough and last long enough would be appreciated! Also my nausea is very bad today and I'm off to the GP to ask to be signed off (at work's request).

Sooz I know that at first glance twins look cute and fun but I know how hard it was to look after one newborn nevermind two at the same time and a toddler! I have no impression that it will be any other than the hardest thing I've ever done but I can't think like that right now. All I know is that God will be right there beside me whatever happens and that we will survive!

CaptainCaveman · 16/10/2008 12:16

Praise God, I do believe O slipped me a cheeky little grin this morning, with a little 'oooh' thrown in for good measure

Not such good news on dsis front - she has suddenly become very jaundiced (she is an alcoholic) and her abdomen is huge (prob has ascities). She is seeing the gp this afternoon, please could you pray that he admits her to hospital so they can detox her (dsis is hoping to be admitted as she knows she cannot stop drinking on her own).

DutchOma · 16/10/2008 14:53

SS Praying that you will have enough rest and peace of mind.

CC, I googled ascites and it doesn't sound very nice at all. I know how worried you have been about your sister and her dd. May God gave you peace of mind about her and the strength to cope. Praise God for O cheeky grin. I still want to see a picture of him, smiling or not in one of 'my' cardigans, or has he already grown out of them?

Hello all, I am reading and praying for you all.

CD I really hope your meds work effectively. What a nice doc! Mine is fab as well.

Wow, Baghdad. What a brave man. Praying for all whose lives are touched by violence and fear, especially those in the Middle East.

I'd appreciate prayers. I am thinking a lot atm about what it means to be a peacemaker - that seems to be at the heart of a lot of the stuff I am doing this year. It's not always easy! But it kind of feels like my calling. Hmm...

Clockface · 16/10/2008 17:03

Eeek Podmog! Praying.

DutchOma · 16/10/2008 17:32

Praying for ds2 Podmog, that all will be well.
CF, blessed are the peacemakers for they get their head bitten off by both sides

Happy birthday twins, hope you soon feel better.

Notquitegrownup · 17/10/2008 09:24

Good morning all. Flying by to catch up.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TWINS. [smi le] [smi le][ smile]

There's a birthday pattern for you, since we don't have any balloons on MN!

CD - how are you doing? Hope that the first few days on Citalopram aren't too bad. I know that there is a support thread for people taking Citalopram on the "Feeling Depressed" area of MN. By all accounts it is brilliant stuff, once you have the dosage right, but it can be tough in the early days. Big hugs, lots of thoughts and prayers coming your way.

God bless all.
