Love & prayers to all. xxxxxx

Mary - I think it was Colin Urqhart who used to approach sermon preparation by simply asking God what He wanted to say to the people infront of him . . . . Does that make sense? It then doesn't involve preaching, just talking to people and passing on a few special words from God, using a bible passage to focus on.

DO - I was struck at Easter by a lovely sentence in the service sheet of the church I was visiting. "Our faith is about emptiness - an empty cross, an empty tomb, and us, offering ourselves as empty vessels into which God can pour his grace and blessings"

Good morning all. Can we remember Tiasmummy and Daddy in our prayers tomorrow as they bury their little girl? link here

God bless

NQGU - Indeed, prayers for Tiamummy

Mary - Prayers for your 'notes' situation, prayers they come to your head and out your mouth fluently, (thats sounds so hard) even without your asp... so good luck on whatever decision you make. xxx

CD - How did you get on last night, praying you are ok

NSFN - Prayers today as your dd see's her specialist for her joints

Podmog - Prayers for your ds2, also prayers for the key members of your church to pull through their problems to enhance these wonderful new projects.

FAQ - wow super woman!!!!!!! prayers god helps you along your way through such a busy time, sit down, pour yourself a cuppa and write everything down setting manageable goals for each day (hark at her who a week ago wanted to jump off the world because I had to much on)

Prayers for you all on this sunny crisp day

nsfn - really praying they make a decision about your work asap!! Praying for DD as she goes to see the specialist today, hope they find out what it is causing all the dislocating etc, must be tough for her. Praying for this funny tingling sesation you are experiencing too, are you going to go & see your GP?

Mary - nothing is impossible with God xx

How is DS2 today Podmog? Praying for your church - the devil is really trying to make a hash of things, eh!? Praying that God's love & power would be at work in all those involved in this change for your church - that He would protect them and guide them. Through the wilderness, into the Promised Land

Praying for you all, as always

Dsis still in hospital, abdomen still huge and she is still yellow. She is being awful to mum and has instructed the ward staff not to disclose ANY information to mum . Dsis' rudeness really annoys me as mum has bailed her out emotionally and financially beyond belief. Dsis' best mate thinks that dsis will just drink again if she goes home - dsis swears she won't . Sadly I believe her friend and not dsis.

We have dneice living with us at the moment, so at least we can make sure she is well looked after.

Anyone with experience of dealing with an alcoholic relative? I have no idea how to best help dsis, or what to believe. I might try to talk to the ward staff when I go in later

CC al-anon is a charity which supports those adddicted and their families too

actually it is mainly for the family and friends, looking at the website

Good afternoon Ladies,

I accidentally typed 'God afternoon' to begin with which is making me chuckle!

Praying for everybody on here, especially those affected by poor health atm, either their own or someone else's.

Please will you say some prayers of thanks for me? I haven't long gotten out of the bath rather suddenly because I came out in a rash which spread almost instantly over large chunks of my body. I've had it before so I know that it's an allergic reaction to something (not sure what though). I'm just really grateful that it has already stopped spreading and my breathing is OK and my eyes/mouth haven't swollen up at all.

SS {hugs} have you taken something for it? Praise God its not got any worse, have you ANY clue as to what caused it? Maybe something in the bathwater?

CCM, I have limited experience of alcoholics, but they do lie, both to themselves and to others. Definitely contact al-anon. Glad you are looking after your niece.

Still praying CD. Praying also for Tias mummy and daddy

I'm a bit in tears (in a good way). But I've had a really lovely complimentary email from the chaplain at the immigration centre. Really touched me...
God is good

Oh, CC There is nothing more you can do for her than what you are doing already - plough all your time & energy into that precious little DD of hers and make she she is loved and supported and well protected. My mum was an alcoholic when I was growing up and I felt guilty a lot of the time; but there's is NOTHING you can do until she accepts help for herself. We are all praying for her. Al-anon is probably a good place to start for some advice and someone to chat to. Always here if you want to chat ....

CC praying for your dsis, and fo you and your mum and niece. must be so hard for those of you that love your sister to know what to do. praying God's protection on you.

CD, glad the meeting was helpful last night, praying into your panic today. Asking God that Hos perfect love will drive out all fear.

SS how are you now?

Podmog - praying for your church

Mary - gald you had a positive encouraging email. Remember, God will use you to say what he wants to say on Sunday

much love x

I'm OK now, rash is disappearing. I guess it may have been my shower gel, but I've used it loads before. My skin is just super sensitive at the moment.

Update on Tinkerbellesmum here. It seems that there is some positive news so please keep praying for her to keep on getting positive news and for her contractions to not start up strongly enough to make her go into established labour yet.

dd2 has had stomach bug and I think she has given it to me please pray it doesn't develop into anything - cant afford to be ill.

also dd3 wont settle she is screaming the place down any thing and everything is wrong.

praying that tiasmum and dad got through today.

dd saw consultant they were running more than 2 hours late but long and short of it is they need to tackle the muscles that have all but disappeared and they need to tackle the ligaments that are too loose = surgery. But toss upis whether they tackle the muscle or the ligaments/tendons first but because we had waited all morning by the time we were seen the physios had gone so couldnt assess her so now we have to go back to see them and its 40 miles away. aghh

oh and in time i been typing this dd who wont settle has just squeezed the bottle of water that she screamed for all over her bed so have had to stripit. Hopefully wont hear a peep oout of her now as have just told her off and told her i going to tell her teacher.

Special prayers tonight for Tia'a mummy and daddy hoping they may be granted strength to get through tomorrow and the days to come. Prayers for all in need.

Many heartfelt thanks for your continued prayers for us . I took dneice to see dsis last night and sis seemed annoyed that I have arranged for dneice to go to her dads this weekend. I also got a phone call when I got home from the ward sister, who has to report dsis to child protection team for not taking dneice to school - I am so glad that someone is FINALLY doing something. Both mum and I have already phoned social services several times, but despite them saying something will happen, nothing ever has . I am praying that they will finally take action to make sure dneice is never put in that situation again. It remains to be seen if dsis will speak to me again but at least dneice will be safe

Prayers for everyone as I read through. CC, what a situation re you and dniece. I think you're marvellous for being there for her.

Continued prayers for that awful situation CC, your sister must be in a very dark place at the moment, but she could at least be grateful for the help she gets, both from her family and and from the hospital. Is dniece able to go to school at the moment?

cc praying for your family - you are a wonderful person am so glad that your dniece is safe.

Still sat here waiting to see if I get the job I was interviewed for last wed, decision was supposed to be on mon - i'm still sat here twiddling my thumbs.

A lot going on for you atm. Love & Prayers from DippyLand. xxxx

Continuing to pray fory our DSis, DNiece and you too. xx

Panic going in dips & troughs today - unpredictable & not nice

CD - Prayers for your 'dips & troughs' of panic to subside

CC - How awful your situation sounds, prayers for you all in this stressful upsetting time, what a fab auntie you are, so pleased dniec is in a loving, caring & stable household, how you managing 3 children? I bet your ds1 loves having dneic around.

Mary - So pleased for your e-mail, lovely to be happily upset. well done you, you deserve it.

Prayers for Tiamummy & daddy today!

Hiya Sooz!

CC - how old is dniece? She is so lucky to have you looking after her. How is she coping with her mum in hospital?

Mary - praying for the peace of the Lord to descend upon you. The little bit of your sermon that you typed up on here certainly spoke into my life and I'm sure that it will for other people.

NSFN - I don't know how you are coping with not knowing about the job. Prayers that a decision is made very soon.

CD - praying for your feelings of panic. May you feel the arms of God lifting you up above the panic and holding you safe.

Praying for everybody else on here. Sorry that I haven't written specifically to each of you. I'm having a grotty sicky day today. I thought that I was improving with the bad morning sickness but it came back with avengence today I'm finding it hard to sleep at the moment because I'm so nervous about my scan on friday.
