Happy Birthday Zipaditwins!

Big prayers for you, Sooz, as you cope with yucky sick.

Notquitegrownup · 17/10/2008 09:26

How wierd. Some of my smiles didn't work! Oh well. Wonky smiles for your birthday, Pirateboy and Birthday princess. And some sympathy for big brother and mum too. At least the sun is shining to dry your sheets Sooz!

mufti · 17/10/2008 09:46

Occurred to me it was not so much a 'birth'day as a 'bucket'day

notsofarnow · 17/10/2008 11:11

Happy Birthday twins. cd hope you are feeling bettr today. mary praying for pizza praise it sounds cool.

Praying for that awful situation in Baghdad think will foreward that to our church office too.

Interview went fine but no decisions until mon. I've sent ds back to school today as I am convinced its not chicken pox as they haven't blistered and are fading so not a clue as to what they are/were but hey ho.

Please pray for two ladies in our church who really are an inspiration of overcoming adverstiy. One has MS and had some of her toes amputated last week because of infection and the other has just started chaemotherapy for breast cancer - you never see them worked up, miserable or anything else negative they are just an inspiration of how God can help deal with all the rubbish that life deals out.

amber32002 · 17/10/2008 12:42

Zipaditwins, Happy Birthday! And I hope you get a lovely Unbirthday once you?re better too. Plenty of prayers for all in the Zipadi household.

NSFN, praying for the interview results, and for the two ladies in your church.

Northernlurker, so pleased to hear about that man ? prayers of praise assured!

Jentlydoes it, lovely names?

Evenstar, hope that God continues to guide you. I?d be fairly hopeless at most crafts, but I do enjoy a lot of them.

Swaliswan, continuing to pray for your sickness to go and for you have some chance to relax and enjoy yourself

CC, brilliant news re the smile, but keeping your dsis in prayer. May God help her find the right support team to get her through this.

Podmog, prayers aplenty for little one. Let us know what?s happening??

Clockface, prayers for your thoughts on peacemaking. Never easy.

MJIM, such good news about the new one?s tests etc, and will be praying for DS and his behaviour in the school.

Mary, Pizza Praise sounds like a lovely thing. Prayers that all the praises went well.

Prayers for everyone else too.

Bit of an odd day yesterday for me. Had a slightly alarming conversation with a lady vicar who had read the article about me and Asperger syndrome in the paper and said, ?Ooh, how brave of you to tell people you are handicapped? and another conversation by email with a trainee vicar who said ?Oh lots of people find faith difficult so you?re not any different to anyone else really?. Prayers that I don?t strangle get too cross with either of them (only joking!!). Prayers actually that I?ll find the right way to explain things to the churches so that they don?t drop these kinds of ?clangers?. I know they mean well and are trying their best but I do need to find out how to get them into some training.

CaptainDippy · 17/10/2008 19:20

BuggeStupid. Stupid. Stupid. DD1 has been getting up mega early and waking DD2 up and making everyone genrally miserable and grumpy - so we thought we'd put DD2 in with DD3 - mistake - DD3 didn't take kindly to being disturbed and is now screaming and screaming and screaming Don't need this right now ...

Prayers for good saturdays for all of us.

Pizza Praise went well - the children were all on their best behaviour, even my two!

Can you remember in your prayers those people being licensed as lay ministers in Ely Cathedral at 2:30pm this afternoon? I was privileged to share training in part with 6 of them. May God continue to bless their ministry. My turn this time next year, God willing!

FAQ · 18/10/2008 21:29

can we do some prayers for tinkerbellesmum - there's a thread saying that she's gone into premature labour (25 weeks I think she is) latest update they were trying to slow/stop labour.

amber32002 · 19/10/2008 09:01

Prayers for each person as I read through.

May your Sunday bring comfort and peace and friendship

ZipadiSuzy · 19/10/2008 15:20

Well, had twins 5th birthday party, we managed to get well, had fab time, full up now on my treasure chest cake and princess cake (that took me 5 hours to make)

CD - Prayers for your depression and anxieties, hope you get some rest!

FAQ - prayers a plenty for tinkerbellsmum, hope they can sustain her labour

MJIM - hope you are feeling brighter today and indeed prayers for a sunny day tommorrow, for the beginnings of ds 3rd birthday celebrations! we need sunshone for Friday dh b'day treating twins to a trip to twinlakes for their birthday, seeing as though they missed out!

Podmog - prayers for ds tomorrow at 8am

NSFN - Prayers for your 2 ladies at church, prayers their treatment works!

Right will catch up a bit more tomorrow, but for now have a party to clear up [[sigh]]] (relieved)

ZipadiSuzy · 19/10/2008 15:23
Grin
MaryBS · 19/10/2008 19:18

Glad the party went well Sooz. How is DS, Podmog? On the mend, I hope?

FAQ, any more news on tinkerbellesmum?

MJIM praying for good weather tomorrow

CD - how are you today?

Licensing went well yesterday, it was a REALLY lovely service, absolutely inspirational. Cathedral wasn't even half full, so plenty of room for you lot next year

Today at the immigration centre, I was leading prayers, but I showed them to the chaplain beforehand, and he said they were really good and "well crafted". And afterwards he said how much they were appreciated by the residents there, and again, how good they were. I put them together after some prayer (and checking the internet for world hotspots of trouble), but didn't spend huge amounts of time on them. I felt REALLY appreciated! . Please remember everyone held there in your prayers. It is such a desperately sad place.

Just popping on briefly to say praying for everyone but especially for Podmog's DS2 and Tinkerbellesmum.

Update on Tinkerbellesmum here

amber32002 · 20/10/2008 07:46

Podmog, big prayers for today. Will be praying with all my heart for little one to have a lovely doctor who says "aha, we've got just the thing for that!"

Mary, will certainly keep the immigration centre in my prayers too. So pleased you got praise for your work.

Prayers for tinkerbellesmum..really hope the baby's going to be ok.

MJIM, prayers for you too.

Zipadisuzy, will pray for sunshine on Friday for you.

Can I please ask for prayers? I've got a big medical decision to make, and I'm SO scared of hospitals.
