DO, I agree with Jen, he should at least point you in the right direction. Maybe seek another opinion on it all. Sounds like you have been through a traumatic time with it all. Hope things get better for him soon.

Amber - praying for you. Hope this week is better.

Hermya - didn't read properly earlier, so sorry things are hard at the moment. Prayers.

TACP - really praying for God's provision for you.

Jen, praying for your dh and for you as the trial starts. Hang in there and rest in God's love. x

Small request, could you pray for my dd, who suffers from psoriasis, it is getting v v bad again after getting it under control over the winter and we seem to be facing another summer of bleeding scabs all over her scalp, for which she gets bullied at school, etc, so feeling rather upset about it all for her.

DutchOma · 11/04/2010 18:37

I'm afraid that it is back to the GP for us. And then a whole round of specialist appointments the end of which will probably be that they don't know what it is but that it isn't blah blah. We've already clocked up nearly a dozen things it is not and have now added another one.
Sorry to hear about your dd Madhairday, it's horrible to be bullied for something you can do nothing about, at least we don't have to cope with bullying.

roslily · 11/04/2010 18:50

Can I ask for some prayers please. On good days I cope fine and enjoy anything. Had an awful day today of illness and screamy baby, and I am just in meltdown. Can feel panic attacks rising.

I know it isn't much com[ared to what other people are going through.

madhairday · 11/04/2010 18:52

Am praying for you now [roslily]

madhairday · 11/04/2010 18:53

ooops not meant to be a link, was giving a hug

amberlight · 11/04/2010 19:03

Praying too

and thank you good people - feel a bit calmer than I did but so need to get past this bit somehow...

teaandcakeplease · 11/04/2010 19:08

Roslily - I had a colicky baby that screamed for 2-3 hours a night for 10 weeks. It is very very wearing and would make me feel like I was going mad. So I can imagine how you feel. Sending hugs and prayers for peace x

CaptainDippy · 11/04/2010 20:03

So frustrating DO Hope they can get your a better indication of what the trouble might be ASAP. xx

Prayers for you Roslily. It is hard to be ill when you have baby. xx

You poor DD MHD Prayers that it would heal quickly. xx

Here for you xxxxxxxx

PositiveAttitude · 12/04/2010 06:49

So much to pray for on here at the moment. And what a privilege to be able to pray.

Jently - God knows the outcome of this, He knows how tough it is for you and your family. Rely on Him. Praying for you today and over this time.

DO - Sorry to hear about DH. Praying for answers for you both and an understanding doctor.

Roslily - prayers for you, for health and peace.

MHD - Prayers for DDs healing.

CD - Prayers for you too. How are you feeling today?

TACP - Prayers for peace for you in your situation. Rely on God. He knows!!

Hermya - Really pleased you are getting support. Praying for you.

Amber - Ooooooohhhhh! You sound like me!!! Prayers for a better week and for you to feel more positive.

roslily · 12/04/2010 11:09

Thanks. I feel better today. He was colicky, but he is 7 months old now. He had a nasty stomach bug for 5 days, ended up in hospital for fluids, and now he has a bad cough that stops him sleeping and makes him wheeze.

Thank you ladies

JentlyDoesIt · 12/04/2010 18:01

Hello all, quick first update

The jury is sworn in, case has been outlined - start on the "heavy stuff" tomorrow - i.e the prosecution evidence. However the defense has reserved the right to call me as a witness (they had said they weren't going to call me) so until I am either a) definitely not needed or b) have given evidence, I am not allowed to sit in court. I am really upset and frustrated by this as I have been sat outside the court room for 4 hours on my own today wworrying about what's going on inside. This could go on for the whole week until the prosecution has made its case.

Sorry, bit of a offload there Hope everybody is ok and well xx

roslily · 12/04/2010 18:49

I am praying for you jentlydoesit.

PositiveAttitude · 12/04/2010 19:06

Have been thinking of you throuthout the day, will continue to pray Jently.

Hermya321 · 12/04/2010 19:50

Huh, well that was a bit of a turn up for the books. DH had an interview today and got given the job, he starts in 2 weeks. Fantastic and praise God!!!!

I'm also off to see a counseller tomorrow as well and hopefully this will shed some more light on whats going on in my head.

On a more exciting note, I bought my first baby jacket today and had a play with prams in Mothercare.

Jently I know it's frustrating, but they need to keep you out of the court room in order to make sure your evidence is secure so to speak. I know it's a bit of a waiting game, I have been a witness before and it is annoying playing the waiting game. But know that God is with you and he is your strength and stronghold in this time. I really hope that this isn't a long and drawn out process for you and your husband. I assume you're at Crown court, have you spoken to someone about what happens in the witness box? I will be praying for peace and strength for you this week.

DutchOma · 12/04/2010 20:36

Oh Hermya, how exciting. What's the job?
Praise God indeed.

Hermya321 · 12/04/2010 20:55

Dutch He's going to be working for some sort of wholesalers doing stock levels and the occasional fare and stuff. In all honesty my DH was a bhut vague about it all. I think he was in shock.

CaptainDippy · 12/04/2010 21:25

I am just popping by to >>>>>>>>>> Jently. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

MaryBS · 13/04/2010 08:14

Thats brilliant news Hermya!

JDI, am praying. Hermya is right, plus I guess that they are reserving the option to call you as a witness, even if they don't plan to, because I guess if you're not listed, then they can't call you. It must be so hard for you though, do you have anyone to sit with you?

teaandcakeplease · 13/04/2010 08:26

Hermya - God is good, great news about job

Jently - sending hugs too and praying for you all x

And everyone else too

CaptainDippy · 13/04/2010 09:39

Morning!! xx

OP posts:
madhairday · 13/04/2010 09:51

Hermya, that's fantastic news about dh's job

Jently, will be praying for you. It sounds so frustrating for you. Hang in there, in God's strength.xx

Hi tacp, how are you today?

Have two sick children today. They were meant to be at a holiday club today but dd has sore throat and raging temp and ds has v red cheeks and bit of a rash. They both feel sorry for themselves. A day with TV and sofa is prescribed Which does mean I can get on with some overdue work (I do admin work for church.)

teaandcakeplease · 13/04/2010 09:54

I'm ok, finances still scary but I'm feeling at peace. So your prayers are working. My DD is still missing daddy lots so associated guilt with that.

MaryBS · 13/04/2010 11:32

Hugs and prayers TACP and MHD

roslily · 13/04/2010 13:11

MHD, hope they feel better. My ds has an ear infection- explains the screaming.

I went to the first night of an alpha course last night, I really felt God's presence.

Continued praying, thank you for all your prayers.
