Tahnk you for praying!

At 11.04 when you posted, DO, our service was just starting. It went really well, although I had to stand there and dab at my nose while I was talking!

I'm going to have a nice realxing evening to try and recuperate...

CaptainDippy · 26/04/2009 19:55

Good for you CF. Glad it went well, despite much dabbing

I'm tired! x

Weegiemum · 26/04/2009 20:55

H i ladies .... sorry been away since Easter!

Could you pray for my depression as I am worried my improvement is tailing off - not going back, but not getting much better ....

And dd2 is having some spectacular tantrums .... goinf crazy!

Will pray for you all, and check in soon!

BouncingTurtle · 26/04/2009 21:52

Weegiemum

God is with you, may He comfort you with His love.

DutchOma · 26/04/2009 22:00

CF, God is good, across Cyberspace.

Weegiemum, is this the dd with the health issues? How are you all doing?

Weegiemum · 27/04/2009 09:09

DO, thanks for asking - yes, this is dd2 who has a hip problem - we think that the tantrums are sheer frustration that she can't go out to play with all the other kids at the moment - but it is driving us crazy!

I see my psychiatrist on Thursday, so hoping for another increase in the dose of my antidepressants.

Could I ask any of you who see this to pray for a very close friend's nephew, baby F, who is 3 days old and they are switching off the ventilator today - if he doesn't breathe alone, they will lose him.

CaptainDippy · 27/04/2009 11:42

FAQinglovely · 27/04/2009 16:00

Just a quick update on DH and I.

I questioned him last week about what he wanted from the relationship (after he'd asked me and then failed to give a definitive answer about what he wants).

I've had a sneaking suspciion that perhaps his questioning of me was actually him questioning himself, so have felt like I was stuck at crossroads - happy to go either way (friends, or relationship) but not wanting to go in either direction without knowing what he wanted.

Well today he "came clean" and admitted that friends was what he really wanted.

So we had a rather sombre sobre dicussion for 5 or 10 minutes, and then spent the next 1/2hr talking about random stuff like friends.

I'm fine with it - I feel I can actually move forwards now, and tbh given how freely we chatted after the decision was made I think we've made the right choice.

I think if we'd kept hammering away at the relationship side we risked falling out and not even being able to fall back on being friends.

So I'm now officiall young(ish) free and single again. (but in a much better frame of mind about it than I was last year LOL)

MaryBS · 27/04/2009 17:21

Aw, glad you're happy with the decision, FAQ. Btw, whatever happened about his job appeal?

notsofarnow · 27/04/2009 17:33

Evening all - I posted yeesterday but it seems to have disappeared. Never mind.

Faq God works in mysterious ways and you had to go through this process to sort your head out. Well done tho for feeling in a better place.

Prayers for baby F poor little soul.

I just want to thank God for being there as a constant even when we don't feel him. Found a prayer in a prayer book at friends church today from Jan 2005 and as i re read what i had written realised that it was all before life fell apart, then realised how far I have actually come. God is good. Just pray that satan's attacks become smaller and smaller and that thoughts of God's love and graciousness become more and more.

FAQinglovely · 27/04/2009 17:46

his job appeal - oh yes he had his work appeal meeting inn Feb and they spent most of the time trying to tell him that the licence must have been mine as I'd been paying it, the fact that his name was on it must have been a "mistake" . He then spent most of his talking time explaining how couple who keep seperate accounts and don't have much money split the bills............twits!

They agreed to pay him for February and he decided to just leave it at that.

CaptainDippy · 28/04/2009 08:17

Glad you feel happier and more "decided" FAQ

Any news on Baby F???????

Only popping by quickly as off to tackle school run .....

Love & Prayers!!

PS Potty training and Big Beds don't come til later in this household Soooooz I value my sleep and my carpets too much xx

Hi everyone! Thanks for the welcome back.

Hope you all are happy and well.

Maybe see some or all of you on a thread sometime soon.

amber32002 · 28/04/2009 20:04

Hi everyone. Have been a bit quiet on the prayer thing, but I do read them and pray

DH's heart tests today but won't get the results for three months which isn't very good from our point of view. I think if it was a big problem, it'd be sooner, but it's just that we're not good at "not knowing things". Could do with prayers for patience, I think
