Thanks for your prayers - much appreciated and will pray for those others mentioned on this thread.

MeltedTreeChocolates · 18/12/2009 10:16

Praying for your son amber

DutchOma · 18/12/2009 11:04

Oh Amber that is hard to cope with. Prayers for you all.

PositivelyFestive · 18/12/2009 12:41

Amber, prayers for you and your DS.

Newlark, prayers for your family at this time.

Prayers continuing for everyone else on here.

Thank you for your prayers for the meeting last night. DH said what he really felt he needed to say in a very humble, gracious way and even those in the meeting who disagreed with him afterwards came and spoke about how well he had put his point across and the lovely way he had done it. Not that he did anything to please man, but as God led him. The outcome is now in God's hands and even if it is not as we would wish we are comfortable that what needed to be said, was said. We will await the result and move on in whatever way we feel God wants us to.
How I hate church politics!!

CaptainDippy · 18/12/2009 14:07

I hate them too, PF - glad it went ok though and your DH did so well Prayers as things unfold now ....

Oh newlark So very sorry to hear about your grandmother. Indeed I am praying that the end is swift and peaceful. Hugs. xx

What crap news about your DS, amber. Praying for answers / miracles. xx

Still mad in DippyLand. Want DH to come home soooooooon!!

Swaliswan · 19/12/2009 22:27

Sorry that it's been a while. It would really help if people would stop being ill and start sleeping

Anyway, we are all surviving and looking forward to a very disorganised Christmas. We have been extremely busy at church. But, you may also like to know that we've been making huge progress on the marriage front Oh, and it turns out that DH can look after both DDs when he really needs to

CaptainCaveman · 20/12/2009 11:00

Morning ladies . I'm back! Not that I've been anywhere, just been very slack on the Christian front.

I have made a decision to take some positive action on an area in my life that troubles me. Your prayers would be very much appreciated.

I would also like to renew my frienship with God as I'm feeling like I'm paddling in the shallows rather than making an effort to let God in. Any wise words would likewise be very much appreciated

3frenchhens · 20/12/2009 14:29

Hello all. I am under a festive name currently but have been on before but mainly just read as rather shy.
I would like to post to say that people in need on here you are in my thoughts and prayers.
I was wondering if I could ask to pray for my dp's late and dearly missed grandparents. He has lost both of them in quite a short space of time. His grandpa died suddenly only a few months ago. 2 days after this awful day, we found out I was pg after trying for 2 years with some awful fertility drgs and we were waiting to start very invasive treatment. I know he is behind this and dp is of course thrilled. I would like to pray to say thank you so much, you are loved and not forgotten.

Sorry for very long post.

ZipadiSoozi · 20/12/2009 21:52

CC - Prayers for your ability to swim further in God's deep end! Hope your precious boys enjoy christmas!

MeltedTreeChocolates · 20/12/2009 22:11

Tis nearly Christmas! You all organised? Afraid I am not.... as usual

LoveBeingAMummyKissingSanta · 21/12/2009 08:41

Morning All

Could you please add my dad to your prayers for today, he has his first chemo session today, am hoping it goes ok and that he doesn't get the really bad side effects he has been warned about this time.

I would also be very grateful for a little prayer for me, am struggling and not myself, dh is worried about me.

Prayers for eveyone else x

newlark · 21/12/2009 15:43

CC - your description of paddling in the shallows really resonates with me - I think I've been doing that for a long time - I recently did a "Christianity Explored" course and know that I don't have the relationship with God that I would like to have. I'll be continuing with the same group in the New Year and have found being in a group where we can all talk about all our questions and doubts really helpful and encouraging.

thanks for the continued prayers for my grandmother - we are still waiting to hear from the doctors about any further tests and treatment needed. My parents have managed to get her more help at home so she is in better spirits.

amberlight · 22/12/2009 09:04

Prayers being said for each of you as I'm reading through each of the things you've written.

May this week bring hope and friendship and love aplenty, new starts with those in our lives, and new joys with God and Jesus.

CC, I think being in the shallows is just fine sometimes. God doesn't mind a bit of paddling. He's right there with you anyway.

MeltedTreeChocolates · 22/12/2009 10:51

Things have gone horribly wrong with my DH. Thanks for those of you that prayed about my situation. Thanks DutchO for taking the time to chat to me about it and offering support and advice.

CaptainDippy · 23/12/2009 20:44

Sorry to be selfish, but prayers that I feel more and less right now would be so appreciated. Thank you.

Whatever it is that has upset you Dippy, I hope and pray you got a bit of sleep and rest in the night and that you will go shining into Christmas.

amberlight · 24/12/2009 11:56

Praying for everyone in the buildup to Christmas. May it bring unexpected peace and hope for us all.

DutchOma · 24/12/2009 13:15

Amen to that Amber.

My prayer for you all is that you may be surrounded by the love of God as the shepherds were surrounded by the glory of the angels.

weegiemum · 24/12/2009 18:32

Merry Christmas Ladies!

May you all know the blessings of Emmanuel - God With Us.
