Notquitegrownup · 26/02/2009 13:16

CD - you superstaaaaar! Thank you for the lovely summary and to everyone for their ongoing prayers and support . . . .

Updating that Mum and I are muddling along and I think that I might simply need to be more humble rather than patient, and learn to accept her/love her as she is . . . . She's lovely really. BTW, Rosey (Clockface - still struggle with that one) if you are checking in, I lent Mum "Be still my anxious heart" which you sent me and it has really spoken to her

Prayers for all. God bless. x

They will have been married for twenty years this summer and have three boys between ages 2 and 10. Many thanks.

CaptainDippy · 26/02/2009 13:43

notsofarnow · 27/02/2009 04:58

no wonder your exausted after that roundup its fab. I'm joining the silly hours brigade i'm really tired and cant get back tto sleep.

Just a cathup on my household = I am feeling much better for most of the time but still have times in day especially when on own and time to think where I get low.

DD is still in pain but improving ever so slighttly each day, she has now misssed so much of 6th form that I don't know she is going to be able to sit her AS exams.

As for rest of house they are plodding along quite nicely.

Oh and btw that interview that I totally messed up they offered me the job yesterday

New relationship also doing quite well

prayers for everyone else and individual situations.

MaryBS · 27/02/2009 07:20

I hope I mess up my interviews as "badly" as you, NSFN! Good news also on relationship. Also praying for your DD and her studies, and that the pain she is in may be lifted.

CD - Praying for you and DH - that God may make your marriage stronger for all you have been through.

WM re: teacher. Praying that a solution presents itself quickly

Sooz - praying for your DH and his wrist, and that he can get something sorted today. Prayers also for your work situation.

Headache seems to have lifted for the moment, please God it stays that way. I had a more restful night which always helps - thanks SO much to all who have been praying for me, the power of prayer is something special!

Today I go into work to be told officially I am being made redundant, and hopefully, what will happen over the course of the next month, whether they will let me leave earlier. Going in there each day is seriously getting me down

PandaG · 27/02/2009 08:48

congrats on the job NSFN!

praying for all, but particularly Mary today, that you be released from your job early, and that the right new one comes along very quickly!

BouncingTurtle · 27/02/2009 10:19

Morning!

Congrats NotSoFarNow - assume you are accepting the offer?
Sorry to hear your dd is still in pain, I shall pray for healing.

I have another prayer request which I've lifted off the Lent study thread/

By MrsMerryHenry on Thu 26-Feb-09 21:55:07
Hi all,

Sorry I've not kept up with this thread at all and haven't even read St Matthew's Passion yet, but can I just ask for prayer for a dear and wonderful friend of mine? Her marriage is breaking up - they're officially separating this weekend and they have two lovely young boys under 7. All I can say is that it's incredibly complicated, and of course, incredibly painful. I'd really appreciate it if some of you remembered to offer your thoughts and prayers for all four of them.

Thanks so much.

DutchOma · 27/02/2009 10:47

Congratulations on the job offer NSFN, hope you will be very happy with it.
Glad to hear that your headache is feeling a bit better Mary and that your job(s, present and future) will all work out.

All well in the Oma household.

CaptainCaveman · 27/02/2009 11:31

Thanks for lovely round-up Dizzy

Praying through the 'list'.

Ds1 poorly with what i think is an ear infection, we're off to the docs later. Am very tired as Oliver is still waking twice a night to feed . Much appreciated continued prayers a) for him to carry on taking formula from the bottle and b) to sleep at night!!

MrsMerryHenry · 27/02/2009 12:28

Hi all,

I've already posted on the Lent thread but can I just ask for prayer for a dear and wonderful friend of mine? Her marriage is breaking up - they're officially separating this weekend and they have two lovely young boys under 7. All I can say is that it's incredibly complicated, and of course, incredibly painful. I'd really appreciate it if some of you remembered to offer your thoughts and prayers for all four of them.

Thanks.

Please can you pray-having had a really bad week, it has ended with an horrendous day. Don't want to go into details but please pray for protection, wisdom and discernment for me to deal calmly and eloquently with something. Thank you.

DO-looking forward to Easter-about to email you!

ZipadiSoozi · 27/02/2009 20:07

Sorry to moan and bore you with same old same old grumbles, but without money, we are under!

DH has really broken his wrist badly, at hospital today, they were talking of operating at one stage, decided to just re-plaster {again} take another xray 4th in 1 week, and leave it till next Friday and have another x-ray, I know they are doing their best for silly people (dh) that have accidents but he can't work for what will be 7 weeks in all,(told if he did it would be a 6 month recovery) we are really worried how we are going to pay for bills and eat, I will just have to get myself a day job, (as if I didn't have enough work in an evening, don't know if I am strong enough to carry dh duties on, so have lost loads of customers and may have to just start his business up again from scratch. (Who wants to wait 2 months for a gardener)

Blar blar blar blar blar blardi blar!

Sorry, I know I should be grateful for our good health, but I worry soooo much, feeling sorry for myself.

ZipadiSoozi · 27/02/2009 20:08

Sorry I just cancelled that post but pressed the wrong button, I feel there is alot more to worry about in the world, so take no notice of me, toughen up sooz, just find a job!!!
