Please pray that my health will be restored ...quickly. ON horrid antibiotics for sinus/chest thing that are making me feel worse at the mo. Supposed to be resting (drs....don't you love 'em!)....oh what a laugh with 4 children and a dh who works all hours!

HallelujahHeisBorntoMary · 28/01/2010 12:55

Amen! Wonderful job again CD!

madhairday · 28/01/2010 13:08

Could I join you....I've wanted to for a while and saw a new thread up today...so thought I woould go for it, if you don't mind, would love to join you in praying.

HallelujahHeisBorntoMary · 28/01/2010 16:05

You're welcome, Madhairday

MrsCadwallader · 28/01/2010 19:24

Thank you CD!

Praying, and psyching myself up for a prayerful and calm Lent. Well, I can hope, can't I?

HallelujahHeisBorntoMary · 28/01/2010 20:06

Would welcome prayer. A tricky situation looks like its about to flare up again, and I'm not sure if I can handle it in calmness, as I feel I've been lied to, or at least things have been concealed from me.

JentlyDoesIt · 28/01/2010 20:12

Hello all, how fortuitous that I should look for you today, with CD's lovely shiny new thread - a God-incidence perhaps?

Am so sorry I have been absent for so long, life is really tough at the moment and all my strength is being rather used up. DC's are both well and DP is ok. I just can't wait for April to be over and for us all to be able to move on.

Please know that I am praying for you all and that I will try and be better and catch up more often.

Love and prayers xx

CaptainDippy · 28/01/2010 22:19

A God-incidence indeed Jen - I was just thinking about you and praying for you and thought I would nip by and see who has "tarnish" my shiny new thread!!

You are very welcome madhairday!!

We have an unsettled DD2 in our bed - She hit her head on a table at school today and has a big cut just above her eye - ouch! She's woken up because she turned over and scraped it on her pillow. Hope she settles soon. I want to go to bed!!

Night all. xx

stanausauruswrecks · 28/01/2010 22:29

I would like to thank you all for your prayers for my friend (posted about her a while ago)I am delighted to say she had her baby boy a few weeks ago, and he is just gorgeous!

Swaliswan · 28/01/2010 23:06

Thank-you CD. I'm off to bed now that I've completed forms for nursery. I had to let you ladies know that DD2 slept through last night albeit very noisily. I'm not expecting the same tonight as she seems quite unsettled but you never know!

MrsCadwallader · 29/01/2010 05:31

I should have let you know that DS2 has been much much happier through the last week - in fact, he came out of school one day at the end of the week last week and announced "I didn't cry at all today, Mummy" and then, as a whispered aside just to me "I think we've sorted the problem out now....."

Which made me laugh. So whatever the big problem was it (please, God) seems to be fixed for now at least. He also has a very firm new friend who came for tea last night with his Mum and his little brother (who will be the same school year as DS3). We had a blast, everyone got on really well and I think I have found a new friend in his mum too, so blessings all round, there

As an ongoing prayer - my study is very very hard going at the moment, so would very much welcome some prayer for calm, strength, energy and focus. Also, for God to show me the path he wishes me to follow (I am beginning the process of looking for jobs for when I finish my course. It's all very daunting and stressful!)

Continued prayers for all.

DutchOma · 29/01/2010 09:25

Such a lot to give God thanks for.
Prayers too for Mary and MrsC and specially for Jen. May God hold you and your family closely in His hand

CaptainDippy · 29/01/2010 11:17

Great news Stan!!!

... and great news SS!! How was last night?

....and great news MrsC!! Glad your little man seems more settled. Praying for time and clarity in your study. xx

madhairday · 29/01/2010 11:44

Praying for you all..
I have quite a bit of time to pray as I have a chronic condition, so thought it would be good to join in here. Thanks for making me feel welcome.
I would really appreciate prayer atm as my health is bad and the hundreds of meds are making it worse in some ways. I know God is with me, and have experienced instantaneous healing a few times in the past of the symptoms, so could do with some of that now as I have a conference later this week.
Mrs C - hope your ds continues to be happy in school.

meltedchocolate · 29/01/2010 12:54

Nice new thread. Good job CD

Will keep reading but my head is all over the place atm so might not be seen for a while. I cant think straight and I feel stuck in limbo

My thoughts are with you all.

amberlight · 29/01/2010 14:50

Thanks for the new thread, CD. Praying for everyone as I read through your messages.

DS had his eye test yesterday and definitely needs specialist contact lenses and things and may in future need surgery but the chances aren't that high of it getting that bad (phew).

DutchOma · 29/01/2010 16:56

Phew indeed Amber, praise the Lord.

MaryBS · 29/01/2010 17:24

Praise God indeed!

God is also working to rectify all that has gone on, over the past couple of days, for which I give thanks. I pray that "normal service will be resumed shortly". However the next couple of days are going to be difficult, so please keep me in prayer, at least till Sunday pm!

PositiveAttitude · 29/01/2010 19:01

SS - so pleased to here of a full nights sleep! Praise God

MrsCad - a happier boy, always good to have!

OM - prayers with you today. Was the funeral today, or have I got that all wrong?

Mary - Prayers aplenty!

CD - thank you SSOOOOOOoooooo much for the fantastic round-up. Very well done you!

Hello to everyone else and sorry not to have made it on to here til now.

DD3 not so good healthwise.
DD4 needs an operation on something we thought was sorted out 6 years ago. Planned for April. But prayers of thanks for a lovely "God" conversation we had on our way home from hospital this week.
DD1's interview went well, but may not have enough experience for the post she went for, but she may get an opportunity for another within the same company. Please keep praying.
Many thanks.

CaptainDippy · 30/01/2010 10:54

Popping by to say hello

PAO - Hope your DD1 perks up soon, great about the others - progress

and prayers to all. Hope you have good weekends. xx

OP posts:
MrsCadwallader · 30/01/2010 11:03

Continued prayers for all.

madhairday I hope you get some relief from your symptoms very soon.

PA Prayers for all of your DDs.

While I'm here, I'm really hoping for a prayerful Lent this year and was wondering if anyone has any thoughts / recommendations for Lent books / studies I can do at home? I was looking at the Wesley Owen website this morning (looks at though they will be saved from administration BTW - thank God! ) and they have a few directed studies there (I quite fancy the Julian of Norwich one - I've been meaning to look up her work for ages so it could be a good opportunity) but I really don't have much time to devote to a study each day - the last thing I wan to do is start a study and end up beating myself up because I'm not doing it 'properly'! Is anyone else planning anything this year, or do you have any suggestions?

God bless, and have a good weekend

amberlight · 30/01/2010 11:25

Continuing the prayers for everyone

MrsCadwallader, what sort of book do you like - very wordy thoughtful ones, practical doing-ones, ones with lots of illustrations and visual things?

MrsCadwallader · 30/01/2010 12:19

Hi amber - I'm not worried about illustrations/ visuals really. I guess I'd like a directed prayer / study guide for Lent with a daily reading and reflection. Anything that will help me deepen my relationship with God and apply my faith to my life and relationships through the Lent period, if that makes sense? I guess it could be any study guide really, but I do need something that is easily do-able in 5 or 10 minutes each day (to be reflected on throughout the day) - not because I'm not committed, but because I am genuinely pressed for time! (aren't we all?! )

I guess i'm looking for more of a 'practical' guide than anything, then?

amberlight · 30/01/2010 13:38

I'm trying "Strangely Warmed" by Andrew Rumsey as a Lent 2010 guide for something that's easy to read through, and really makes you think.

MrsCadwallader · 30/01/2010 13:57

Thank you! I'll look into it
