MrsC - You could've been talking about my DD2 there!

OP posts:
MrsCadwallader · 10/03/2010 20:18

CD I'm sorry you have middle-child issues too, but it's so reassurring to know that it isn't just us!

Hermya321 · 10/03/2010 21:32

MrsCadwaller Lifting you up in prayer.

I'm relieved about the scan, although now it's got me a bit jumpy. I just need to get a grip, hand this pregnancy over to God and let him get on with it. He is very in charge and I need to remember that. Amen!!

Prayers for everyone, may God keep you all and make his face to shine upon you.

madhairday · 11/03/2010 09:24

Praying for your ds2 MrsC.

My niece is not yet responding to the IV abs as it was hoped she would, so please do pray for her, we are all so anxious.

teaandcakeplease · 11/03/2010 09:48

Still praying MHD.

My hubby and I are separated as you know, he doesn't usually look after both kids on his own as he gets super stressed as they're so little and only 17 months apart but he has agreed to as a special treat today, so I can go and spend a spa voucher I was given at Christmas by him. I never get time off, so I'm looking forward to this (sorry to much info). Can you pray my little ones are good and my hubby stays calm and enjoys time with them etc. It's not as serious a prayer as some of the ones on here but it would be great if you could send a prayer up. As he may never offer again if too hard today for him Most of our marriage problems have been compounded by our kids and him not coping and running away IYSWIM.

Thanks ladies x

DutchOma · 11/03/2010 10:20

In the big scheme of thing tacp, I think this is still a very worthwhile prayer request, because a lot hangs on it.
Let us know how it went, won't you?

MrsCadwallader · 11/03/2010 10:32

Prayers for your niece MHD - I do hope she begins to respond soon.

Also for TACP - I hope your children and husband have a good day together. I also hope you enjoy your treat!

CaptainDippy · 11/03/2010 12:09

Prayers for your niece MHD. xx

Have a wonderful time MTACP Exciting!! I have 13 months between my first two; so I feel your pain Sooo glad I did it though!! They are 6 & nearly 5 now and (most of the time) get on so well and play nicely. DD3 is 23 months behind DD2 and she is getting there too. (Most of the time) they are a lovely bunch and I am very Blessed. (Keep telling yourself that CD )

teaandcakeplease · 11/03/2010 14:11

My daughter burst into tears and begged to come with me. So in the end she did. She sat on the floor and coloured in a bible stories colouring book, whilst I had my treat. She was very good and cute. Whilst my hubby took care of DS and had "daddy time". So not quite what I planned but it all worked out OK. They're both asleep now, so I'm enjoying the peace. God is good

My hubby is still very confused and has left to go to his counseling now. He's had an affair (did I say?) he can't face loosing us but is having trouble letting go of the OW, as they were friends for years. Probably as he doesn't have many good friends and she was one. So he's very confused and torn. It's all so tricky right now on me and the LO's

amberlight · 11/03/2010 17:17

Prayers continuing for everyone.
Teaandcakeplease, words fail re your dh and what's happened. I am so sad that he put you through it all. Prayers that the counselling will lead to him keeping it in his bloomin' trousers in future.

Hermya321 · 11/03/2010 20:37

Prayers for everyone here, also prayers for that poor mans family in Manchester.

Teaandcake I pray that God continues to strengthen you on this difficult walk that you're on. I pray that you find peace in this process and continue to lean on him for your strength and needs. I pray the same for your DH as well.

CaptainDippy · 11/03/2010 21:03

I just ran two miles without dying

OP posts:
ZipadiSoozi · 11/03/2010 21:22

Captain, I take my hat off to you, and I am glad you didn't die

MrsCadwallader · 11/03/2010 21:26

CD you made me giggle! I'm one of those freakish people that really loves running but well done you!

TACP more prayers for you. May God bless you and be with you all.

DutchOma · 12/03/2010 09:08

But nearly Dippy? Well done for not.

CaptainDippy · 12/03/2010 10:01

Nope. I am still alive.

I think.

OP posts:
ZipadiSoozi · 12/03/2010 13:49

CD - You know what they say about heaven on earth? are you sure?

ZipadiSoozi · 12/03/2010 13:50

Whats the next challenge - 3 miles?

amberlight · 12/03/2010 17:50

Need ideas. Our much loved Uncle died. The funeral was today, but for a host of reasons including our level of disability we weren 't able to make the epic journey to it. I'd love to commemorate his life with a simple something closer to home, but dh isn't religious. Anyone got bright ideas? Prayers continuing for all. Could also do with one or two here as we prepare for a disability and faith event...

PositiveAttitude · 12/03/2010 18:57

Amber Sorry to hear about your uncle. When our daughter died we planted a cherry blossom tree in the garden. We have a beautiful permanent reminder and each year when it blossoms we say a prayer and thank God for getting us through the pain of that time. (She should have been 21 years old yesterday )

CD From someone who most definitely could not run a mile I am impressed! Well done and I hope you are not collapsed in a heap now.

MrsCad - Do people really love running? Are you sane? Running to work when I am late (only about 3 or 4 times a week ) is my limit!!

T&C- Glad you sort of had your pamper time! Prayers for your family.

Hi to DO.

Hermya321 · 12/03/2010 19:53

Urmm I know I've popped a lot of prayer requests on here recently, but my DH has been given his weeks notice (a week????!!!) by his temp job. He has an interview on Monday, I'm really praying that God will move on this one. He has before and I know he will again, but you know prayer is always good.

teaandcakeplease · 12/03/2010 20:18

Praying for your hubby Hermya. I had this verse come into my head whilst praying - Matthew 6:25-34 Particularly pictured the lilies in the field whilst praying.

I always feel silly saying these things but what if God wanted me to share them and I didn't? But feel free to disregard if it doesn't resonate with you but I am praying for provision x

Hermya321 · 12/03/2010 20:41

Teaandcakes Nope thats brilliant thank you!! God has been very good to us in the past and he will continue to do so. I should stop worrying really, it doesn't add a day to my life nor does it change anything. But God in his infinate grace and mercy will when I direct myself to him in prayer.

amberlight · 12/03/2010 21:52

PositiveAttitude, thanks, and very large prayers for you for your own memories....goodness me, there are never words enough, are there?

weegiemum · 12/03/2010 21:58

I don't know if any of you have seen this news story about 3 asylum seekers who died following an apparent suicide in Glasgow at the weekend.

One of the ladies I tutor has been badly affected as they knew the family, and others I tutor (am a volunteer literacy tutor) live in the same flats.

There's a lot of pain and unrest there. Could you keep them all in your prayers please.
