MrsCadwallader · 06/03/2010 09:20

Could you please pray for my sister? She has just had the letter confirming her DD's school place and has been given a place at the one school she absolutely didn't want. She's in bits over it but can't do anything till Monday. Please pray that she will find a solution that they can all be happy with.

amberlight · 06/03/2010 13:14

Keeping the prayers going for everyone

MaryBS · 06/03/2010 20:54

Just wanted to add a Praise God, for DD's friend is gaining weight slowly, to the extent they can now book a family holiday abroad. They HAD been told not to go because of E's health concerns

Hermya321 · 06/03/2010 21:03

MaryBS That is such good news, praise God!!!

Cadwaller Prayers for your friends as well.

Could I sneak in a prayer request as well, I've had two friends who suffered miscarriages this week. One at seven and one at fifteen. They're both cut up about it and could use some prayer for them both as well.

Could you also pray some sticky baby to be prayers for me as well. I've had some brown spotting yesterday and today (sorry if TMI) and I'm a little worried. The midwife said it can be common around about the stage that O'm at (seven weeks) but you still do worry don't you. So peace and sticky baby thoughts would be good. I do feel and have felt all along that God is very much with this LO. I really felt him speak to me about this LO and it really was Gods timing in this one. I mean it even had a name before I knew I was expecting. So well yeah, prayers would be good.

Praying for you all!

CaptainCaveman · 06/03/2010 21:41

Hey lovely prayer thread ladies , I have been very quiet of late haven't I? I do think of you all often and keep you in my prayers. And now that you're back on my 'threads I'm on' I shall try my hardest to post more often and share your fellowship.

Quick update - dsis is doing fantastic! Been dry for 11 months and dneice is very settled in her school. Praise God for saving her life

DutchOma · 06/03/2010 21:43

Oh definitely Hermya. May God bless and protect you and your little bean. Worying for you that you have two friends with mscarriages, that must make you more anxious at the best of times. Miscarriage makes you feel so inadequate; I know it is not your fault, but you still think you should do a better job of hanging on to your bean. If you can, hand it all over to God, Who knows what is best for you.
Happy weekend everybody.

Praise be for E's weight gain Mary. Hope they have a very happy holiday.

madhairday · 07/03/2010 18:36

Sorry to hear about your friends Hermya. I will pray for you. I had some bleeding at 8 weeks with both of mine, it is reasonably common I think but worrying at the time I know.

Good news Mary about Es weight gain.

Hi CC I don't think we've 'met' as I'm new to this thread. good news about your dsis and dneice.

DutchOma · 07/03/2010 18:50

Oh Caveman, what wonderful news. So pleased for all of you, a real answer to prayer. How are your two ds's doing?

debka · 07/03/2010 18:53

I'm debka's mum. A prayer and a prayee. I've got terminal cancer and I just want to encourage you all that prayer truly works. God's peace is great and all he does for us is good.

CaptainCaveman · 07/03/2010 20:38

Hi madhairday nice to meet you! Tis a lovely thread isn't it?

debka thank you for your positive statement - I really don't know what/how to respond to that, except Amen?!

CaptainCaveman · 07/03/2010 20:39

Or debka's mum even

CaptainCaveman · 07/03/2010 20:41

And I meant to say, I had a really overwhelming sense of peace and joy envelop me in church today that has stayed with me. I'm just bursting with joy I keep singing "Such Love" over and over to myself (only the first verse mind, I can't remember the rest!!)

teaandcakeplease · 07/03/2010 20:47

Hello would it be OK for me to join this thread too? I just saw it on the "active" board and thought Ooo how lovely.

Gone to church my whole life and have never thought "maybe he doesn't exist". He is so good to me, love to pray with you guys.

Being stuck indoors with my 2 LO's often napping as so young still. I spend way too much time on MN. If I make better use of it for his glory, that would be a good thing! I gave up facebook for lent but have just come on MN even more

Shame on me!

CaptainCaveman · 07/03/2010 20:49

Hi teaandcakeplease welcome welcome welcome to the best fellowship in town

CaptainCaveman · 07/03/2010 20:53

Oh, could you please pray for a colleague at work - she has recently had twins and the little boy wasn't breathing at birth. They resuscitated him and I think he has been moved today to a normal ward with his mum and his dt. They think he may have some brain damage though from the oxygen starvation . Please pray for a minimal impact on this lo's life.

debka · 07/03/2010 20:58

Hi lovely people, it is debka not her mum this time, saw you on active and was so excited there was a Christian thread. A real encouragement when life is a bit tricky and my DH is struggling to settle in church (so I am also having trouble settling). Plus I look after my mum (cancer) so to be amongst women of faith is a must for me! Can I join too please?

teaandcakeplease · 07/03/2010 21:00

Thank you for your kind message.

Just lifted up the little baby boy in prayer. It was awesome, got goose pimples whilst praying. Far better praying for others than myself and kids all the time! Will keep praying for them x

amberlight · 08/03/2010 08:19

Prayers for all children in need of God's loving care, and for all mums and dads worried about them, and for all here who so need to find peace and love in God.

Debka's mum, there are no easy words to say when facing some things, but there are always prayers, and always friends. We can help with both bits of that, I hope. And God'll do the rest.

arsebiscuit, welcome
Ask, pray, enjoy...

We could still do with a bit of prayer here. We've realised we can't get to the funeral of a much loved relative because it's being held so far away and dh's health isn't up to it. We're also seeing the specialist about ds's eyesight tomorrow so praying for a good outcome for that too.

DutchOma · 08/03/2010 09:51

So many messages that I have just relaxed in prayer and let God take over. Great relief.
Blessings on all

MrsCadwallader · 08/03/2010 09:57

Continued prayers for all. It's Monday, the sun is shining, I actually made it to church yesterday, which gave me a much needed lift and I'm determined to have a more prayerful week this week!

teaandcake I've given up face book for Lent too. The idea was that I would spend the saved time in prayerful contemplation but so far I am falling well short of my aim! However, I am growing in appreciation of all of my friends, on face book and otherwise, so I guess I'm gaining something from my time 'in the wilderness'!

Special prayers for all the little ones lost and suffering on this thread, and for their families.

Hermya - how are you today?

MaryBS · 08/03/2010 09:58

Same here, DO, I've just done the same . To add to this, please keep me, my family and my church in prayer. I'm in God's hands, and have retreated a little to allow healing to take place. I am not sure if this however may be giving off the wrong message, so ask God's blessing on this, and forgiveness for all I accidently offend.

CaptainDippy · 08/03/2010 12:30

Happy Monday all!!

Your sis must be gutted MrsC!! Praying that a positive solution can be found asap!!

Sticky Bean prayers for you Hermya!! Prayers for you friends in their sad losses xx

FANDABBYDOSEY news about your DSis and your DNiece CC!!!! She is often in my thoughts and prayers, as are you my lovely Praying for your friends and her lovely new twins, especially for her poor wee DS. Prayers that the damage isn't too great. Do keep us informed. xx

Welcome to teaandcakeplease (yum ) and to debka and mum

My work email is finally working, so praise God - not as much as I thought I would have to catch up on, which is a huge relief - phew!!

weegiemum · 08/03/2010 12:35

CC - is it this Such Love

Such love, pure as the whitest snow
Such love, weeps for the shame I know
Such love, paying the debt I owe
O Jesus, such love

Such love, stilling my restlessness
Such love, filling my emptiness
Such love, showing me holiness
O Jesus, such love

Such love, springs from eternity
Such love, streaming through history
Such love, fountain of life to me
O Jesus, such love

There you go!
