Or maybe even get out of the car for a breather and a look at the blue butterflies, CF.
Have a holy and lovely weekend all of you.
I have just come back from a wonderful choral concert, three choirs all of very high standard, very varied music, one composer I hadn't even heard of (Blitheman I think, 16th century). Tomorrow they do another choral evensong and organ concert, but I almost get musical indigestion, it's all a bit rich. We are singing ourselves in the morning, so no reluctant worship tomorrow.

amber32002 · 05/10/2008 07:19

Please can I ask for prayers...had a horrible personal attack on me on another message board and I'm really shaken up by it. I need to remember how to calm down as I have to go to church and on to son's rugby game and I can't afford to 'shut down'...

CaptainDippy · 05/10/2008 08:06

Oh amber Praying for you. xx

Amber praying for you, for calm and peace of mind. God loves you, that's all that matters.
"There is therefore no condemnation for those who are in Christ", no condemnation.
With love

MaryBS · 05/10/2008 09:19

Praying Amber.

Am feeling a little low, would also appreciate prayers. Trying to cope with explaining my needs to the diocese, when I don't clearly understand them myself. It would be easier to manage without support, after all, that's what I've done all along!

Notquitegrownup · 05/10/2008 09:28

Good morning all.

How's the shouty monster this morning CD?

Prayers for all on this thread. I'll take you all to church with me as none of my dcs want to venture out in the rain today!

amber32002 · 05/10/2008 14:11

Thank you for the prayers. Praying for all here too.

slapheadsrock · 05/10/2008 17:34

It continues..... he made dinner!!! We had beef casserole, and it was yummy. He even washed up!!

Still agreeing to tomorrow night, starts at 8pm.[nervous icon]

notsofarnow · 05/10/2008 21:52

SHR praying it sounds like he's really had time to think what you mean to him. Praying he opens up tomorrow night and that you can both be open and honest.

CD hows P tonight praying you have had a better day.

We have had a group called festival brass for the w/e they were fantatic and I was really enjoying myself till they made me cry - now not a happy bunny. This roler coaster wish it was all up an not so many downs.

Mind you someone at church this morning said that i have been on his heart and that he is going to sit before God and write down what it is that God is saying. One thing he did say was that when I'm counting my blessings then I should remember the four treasures he has given me - said he didn't know wht they were but that i should remember them. The only thing i can think that they are are my 4 dc.

Aitch · 05/10/2008 21:56

hello all, i don't know if any of you prayed for me a month back when i was having dd prematurely, but i just wanted to say thanks if you did. dd is fine. teeny, but doing well.

Peachy · 05/10/2008 22:04

Praying for all on theis thread. And good news Aitch

Please pray for my ds4 who is being baptised this week but is not ding so well atm . Hard to explain whats going on but he's already had reactions to milk, (he's off gluten), banana and tomato and has started screaming 20 hours in 24. he's never yet slept except on me (twice in the buggy to be exact) and I am petrified its the ASD for a third time. he will be seeing a cranial osteopath this week and a GP and is waiting for the Paed- just have to pray with all my heart.

Please also pray for my DH who went back to work Wednesday after 5 weeks home with severe depression and is finding it ahrd, he is a very brave man imo and looks after us wonderfully with 2 jobs, I hope we can find a way to enable him to study for hs dream career soon, and I pray t god for inspiration on how to do that.

Notquitegrownup · 05/10/2008 22:43

How lovely of you to pop in Aitch. Great to know that dd is doing well.

Prayers for you and your dh at this difficult time Peachy. Good to see you here again. (That's not meant to sound like the vicar peering over a pair of spectacles, dropping hints that you might appear more often - honest!!)

SHR - sooo pleased that you are enjoying some positive days. Prayers that your counselling might be constructive on Monday, and that he won't be too threatened by it, but will be able to take on board a little of what you are saying. One step at a time, 'n' all that.

Must go to bed. I'm all blotchy eyed, after watching the final part of 'Tess'.

MaryBS · 06/10/2008 08:10

Peachy, you are SUCH a strong lady! Praying for strength for you all, for DS4 and your DH.

Aitch - thanks for coming us and letting us know about dd. Praying that she continues to go and grow from strength to strength

SHR - praying for tonight for you, that it may strengthen your marriage and bring you closer together, and that DH cooperates!

How is P, CD?

NSFN - is he going to let you know what God is telling you? Its good to hear that you had SOME enjoyment from the band, celebrate the good times, they will carry you through the difficult times.

Amber, praying for strength for you, and for people to be more understanding and less judgmental. You are doing a GOOD thing, the devil likes to spoil good things!

DutchOma · 06/10/2008 09:05

Your four will not FEEL like blessings some of the time NSFN, but of course they are. Maybe you should tell them. Before my dd was born we went to a CWR meeting in Leicester. A very fat man laid his hand near my tummy and said:"I'm sure the child will be a blessing to you". Well, over the past 26 years we've been on SOME rollercoaster with her, but the man was right, she has been and is a blessing to us.

amber32002 · 06/10/2008 09:36

Prayers for everyone as we start the new week, for hope, for answers, for love, for friendship, for peace.

And thank you once again for your prayers for me...

Peachy · 06/10/2008 10:31

Notquitegrownup LOL- I know what you mean but in truth my Vicar would no doubt say how pleased he was to see anyone here in this day and age!

Amber I have met you on the SN threads, yes? You are an amazing help to us all. I myself have lots of ASD traits but am fortunate in my mid thirties to have a life that I have managed to fit to a pattern that rarely challenges it; for you to go outside your comfort zone and put yourself at risk of bad treatment in your quest to help makes you such a strong person and a true Christian.

Praying for everyone, and also in thanks that this thread is here when people need it.

amber32002 · 06/10/2008 10:49

Peachy alas not very strong at all. Just far more determined to carry on than I should rightly be, I guess, but it's only with the help and support of a lot of people (and God, of course). Otherwise I'd be under a duvet and staying there...

Peachy · 06/10/2008 11:17

Ah i hnk we all feel like that though Amber, truly I do! we have to find our motivation, whatever it be, and grab onto it for dear life!

Thought I would look for support in the Bible, said a prayer and then opened it at Chronicles 4.9- about children and blessimgs. Immensely comforting.

CaptainDippy · 06/10/2008 11:20

Such lovely things to say to amber, Peachy You are a lovely, strong, brave woman yourself!! Praying that the Baptism goes well for DS4 and that work goes ok for your DH. Holding you in my prayers today xx

Great to "see" you Aitch - congratulations on your teeny bundle - praise God all went ok Awwwwwww, just looked at your pics - your DDs are gorgeous

SHR - Praying tonight is a real breakthrough for you both. xx

P seems back to normal - straight down last night and this morning. thank you all so much for your prayers

OP posts:
Notquitegrownup · 06/10/2008 11:28

Good morning CD. So glad that P is settling. But how are you, Sweetheart?

And thanks for mentioning Aitch's profile pics. (I never think to look on profiles!) Melt, melt, melt!!! Aitch, they are gorgeous!

Good morning and God bless all.

CaptainDippy · 06/10/2008 11:57

Hello nqgu I am doing ok, very busy and very tired. Things are not good at all with DH & I; but I honestly just don't know what to do about it & tbh - I am just too tired to deal with it right now Does that sound really bad!!? I am ok though, just chugging along. How are you and all your boys, my love? xx

OP posts:
Notquitegrownup · 06/10/2008 13:15

Hi CD Nooooo, that doesn't sound bad, at all. You can only do so much and then sometimes you just have to let be. Babies and toddlers are wonderful, but IME they do have a tendency to milk you of every last drop of energy, sensible emotion/common sense. (Well, they did to me, anyway - and I had one less than you!) When you are that tired it is probably not the best time to deal with anything at all -apart from, perhaps, the odd domestic chore and even that should be approached very gently! Is there anything specific that we can pray for, for you guys?

Oh, and we're fine thank you. Snuffly, but fine.

Thinking of you. {{{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}}}}}}

Notquitegrownup · 06/10/2008 13:19

Second thoughts. Ditch the odd domestic chore, and replace with chocolate.

Can you treat yourself to a very very early night now and then too? I always found that going to bed at 8pm and getting ten or eleven hours in once a week or so, made a huuuuuuuge difference to life. I'd just be so tired that I'd forget to do it sometimes!

CaptainDippy · 06/10/2008 13:32

I've been trying to do that nqgu - doesn't always work Nothing specific to pray for - just that we would fall in love all over again, I guess Is that asking too much!!? I just feel like something has been lost Sigh.

Anyway, MIL coming back with DD1 in a mo, so best get ready to go over to friends this pm ...
