Feeling a lot more human today after 2 good nights in a row and a nice day in the sunshine. DS2 seems more or less back to himself now, although he's just had a little grumble as I'm typing! Typical. ;)

Prayers for Amber and family, Gabrielle and MHD's friend's baby.

DH has a long day travelling on Thursday. Prayers for safe journeys would be welcome and still no news on the job thing.

Thats good news BES. Praying that your DH is kept safe tomorrow.

Would welcome prayers for DH. He is having problems with the leg that he had the DVT in. He is having blood tests, seeing the Dr and an Xray tomorrow.

Please pray for C., who has an important potentially life/career affecting meeting tomorrow. He has so much to offer, but people can be SO stupid sometimes.

arsebiscuit · 04/03/2010 11:00

Sorry to butt-in on your lovely thread, but do you think you could say a small prayer for me?

A while ago i would have called myself an atheist, but for the past couple of months i have felt God's presence in my life, and i feel scared and unsure of what has happened to me.

DutchOma · 04/03/2010 11:07

Arsebiscuit, oh sweetheart, you should not feel afraid of the presence of God in your life. God loves you, He has your very best interests at heart. He has good plans for you.
What is it that makes you afraid?

arsebiscuit · 04/03/2010 11:54

Thanks DutchOma.

I think it is the fact that i have grown up surrounded by atheists (still am) so to believe in there being more is a really big deal for me and something that i am struggling with.It has taken me totally by surprise. How can my whole outlook on life change in just a few weeks?

DutchOma · 04/03/2010 12:04

These are big questions to which nobody can give you any answers. But we can certainly help you unpack your feelings a bit, although I can only come at it from a Christian point of view.

CAT me if you would like to talk off board.
I can't CAT you since you have chosen not to receive messages.

arsebiscuit · 04/03/2010 12:44

Thankyou again, i'm going to take time while my daughter is having her nap later to sit and think about all of this, it has really come as a shock to me!

madhairday · 04/03/2010 14:29

Sooz, that is so sad, will pray for Mia's parents and for Erin.
Praying for your dh, Mary.
Hi arsebiscuit, you're very welcome. Sometimes people do describe what seems to be like a pull towards God, which I guess can feel really odd and scary if it's a new thing. We are more than happy to explore it all with you, and will pray for you.

Good news about my friends baby dd, she is out of hospital. they haven't found what is the root problem but she is much better, thankfully. I'd appreciate prayer for her that she stays well.

MrsCadwallader · 04/03/2010 14:51

Arsebiscuit - welcome

If it helps you, I come from an atheist family too (or at least agnostic one - I had an atheist upbringing, and while my parents never absolutely said there was no God, my grandparents and other family members did) My situation might be slightly different as (despite my upbringing) I don't ever remember not feeling that there was a 'God' / something, but I didn't find the courage to commit to the idea until I was 30! I do understand, though, how it can be difficult to 'come out' and explore the idea when no-one else in your family has done so.

So - fire away with any questions, musings, ramblings, whatever - we will all do our best to answer! And of course, a prayer for you

Sooz, prayers for little Mia and her family too.

CaptainDippy · 04/03/2010 18:35

Sorry, but I just had to LOL at you all typing "Arsebiscuit", especially DO

Ahem.

How exciting, but confusing for you honey - I am sure that all of us here would be very happy to support you / listen to you /answer (to the best of our ability) any Q's you might have.

OP posts:
MrsCadwallader · 04/03/2010 19:16

Should it worry me that 'arsebiscuit' tripped off my keyboard quite happily?!

DutchOma · 05/03/2010 09:19

Or me? I don't honestly know why you all think I am that prim and proper? Don't forget English is not my first language and these are just 'words' to me.
But I have learned that it is very effective on the odd occasion that I do use an Anglo Saxon expletive because I am really angry.
Then you all fall off your chair laughing.

CaptainDippy · 05/03/2010 11:56

I would very much like to hear that DO!! I don't really think you are Prim and Proper DO, I am only teasing [smiling]

My work email hasn't been working for about three days now. Ho Hum ....

DutchOma · 05/03/2010 13:59

Nah Dippy, you don't Sorry to hear about your work e.mail. Do we need to come and lay hands on it?

CaptainDippy · 05/03/2010 16:39
