Hi ladies, I have been away for a while, mad busy with work.

I have read the last couple of pages and added to my prayers. My alpha course is going really well.

Things have got much better with my dh and I, we were struggling, but we have turned a corner and it is great.

I am struggling at work full time, not teaching my subject, but just seen an excellent job in a church school, so I am going to go for that I think (if I am brave enough)

PositiveAttitude · 28/04/2010 12:07

Sooz Go and have a nice time with your friend and do a lot of talking. I hope your head re-attaches itself and you feel less stressed.

Roslily - You dont have to worrry about whether you are brave enough. Just relax that if it is right, you will get the job, if it isn't then you wont, but God will have something better for you.

madhairday · 28/04/2010 14:31

Oh Soozi - I am so sorry things are so hard. I obv don't know the ins and outs but please be assured I will pray, God knows, and he loves you so much

weirdbird · 28/04/2010 14:56

A very quick post to say I am still around and still praying.

PG seems to all be going well but midwife appt are like golddust around here so I am only having my 2nd on friday and then have 20 week scan next week!

Would appreciate prayers for my hayfever as I am not allowed to take my normal medication and the sneezing is really getting me down!

roslily · 28/04/2010 15:24

Oh, quite small considering the things going on for people at the moment, but could people pray for good weather on Sat- it is my brithday and am supposed ot be having BBQ, with family and friends- no idea what we are going to do if it rains!

teaandcakeplease · 28/04/2010 20:01

Zipadisoozi - I absolutely loved this book, I feel almost a hypocrite as I'm in the middle of a divorce with my H but before his affair, in many times in our marriage the prayers in this book brought real break through's in our marriage!

I don't know the in's and out's of your situation so please ignore if this is not a helpful suggestion.

I also loved this book too.

Hope I'm not speaking out of turn. Please completely ignore if bad bad idea.

Praying for you lovely Soozi and Amber for tomorrow, L for anorexia and self harm, Weirdbird for hayfever and Roslily for Saturday and job.

ZipadiSoozi · 28/04/2010 20:45

TACP - Thank you for your support, without upsetting too many people my dh has sn's that I struggle to live and manage with on a day to day basis, I have only just found out what the matter is and I realise I have been banging my head against a brick wall for 30 years, I have always lived in hope and prayer (must have been denial) but we have actually grown apart (or I have) there is loads of other stuff, but generally I can't fight in my head to think of ways forward any more, cause there is no way forward, I just have to lump it & accept! I can't change him.

Finding new coping strategies for myself and change my expectations of my dh is a must though, for life to become more 'normal' (whatever normal is) after 30 years of trying it is quite exhausting!

But, I am researching more info, I am the adult, I have to take responsibility for our whole family unit by myself! and it will be done!

teaandcakeplease · 28/04/2010 20:49

Soozi ((hugs))

oliviacrumble · 28/04/2010 21:35

hello to all, I have been reading this thread over a number of days and add my prayers.

Could I just ask for a prayer for ds1? He's eleven, and a lovely, caring but possibly over-sensitive and highly strung boy. Very bright, but a bit of a square peg, iykwim?

Dh and I are working very hard to support and help him, but I can't help but worry so much of the time.

Am praying for his well-being and happiness, though I know many here have far, far greater problems than ours...

PositiveAttitude · 28/04/2010 21:55

Welcome Olivia. It is soo hard when your DCs are struggling. You hurt so much for them. Prayers for him.

Thank you for sharing so much with us Sooz - such a difficult situation.

Prayers continuing for you TACP and for Amber, for peace and calm and the right outcome of your meeting.

Here DD3 is having a good day after a bad week, so praying that she will sustain this upward trend.
DH has come to a decision about his job. A bit of a leap of faith coming up! We have been in this position before, but it is not a comfortable place to be! May well be without income for a while in a few months. God has always provided in the past. We will have faith that He will again.

Hermya321 · 28/04/2010 22:05

I went back to work today and it went so so well, praise God!!!

I'd really missed everyone, and it was lovely to see everyone.

Praying for everyone!!

teaandcakeplease · 28/04/2010 22:07

That's great news Hermya

Hello Olivia, praying for your DS.

oliviacrumble · 28/04/2010 22:53

Thank-you so much for welcoming me and for your prayers.

God bless.

CaptainDippy · 28/04/2010 23:06

Just zoooooooming by before bed with biggest hugs for my lovely friend Sooooooz. You know where I am gorgeous - my driveway is ready to receive your caravan anytime you want to escape and breath Hang in there. Lots of prayers. xxxx

Welcome Olivia

amberlight · 29/04/2010 15:39

Praying for each of you.

And thank you for praying for me - I think my bosses have understood a lot more, and I didn't panic

JentlyDoesIt · 29/04/2010 20:05

Hello

Amber - well done you, that must have taken real strength - bug for you!

Olivia - welcome my dear. I feel exactly the same way about my 12 year old Godson, he sounds exacly like your DS. He is terribly bullied by others at school. Its so hard when they struggle to guide them in a way that they don't see as interfering. Many prayers for you.

Sooz - a most enormous hug for you (how mn of me!) Just like Dippy, if you need a break, you are more than welcome

Hermya - hurrah for your first day back, hope you're not too tired.

WM - praying hard for your friends.

All ok here, life back to full speed now I'm back at work... prayers for all

oliviacrumble · 29/04/2010 21:52

jently, your kind words have brought tears to my eyes.

Thank-you so much, and thanks to all here.
Am praying for you all.

I could have stayed a "lurker" but took the leap and am so glad I did.

MaryBS · 30/04/2010 07:28

Olivia, I have a 10yo DD, highly sensitive and very bright. At the moment she comes to me for comfort when she thinks she is unloved and friendless, but it does hurt, particularly when you know those doing the hurting are also at church. Hugs and prayers for you and yours... no prayer is too small to bring before our Lord.

Keeping you all in prayer, may God bless us and keep us, may his countenance shine upon us and bring us peace...

CaptainDippy · 30/04/2010 11:52

MY BABY GIRL IS THREE TODAY!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to mini captain dippy!

have a fab day!!

BlueEyeshadow · 30/04/2010 13:10

Hello all. It's DS2's baptism on Sunday and we've gto friends and family coming from all over the country. Meanwhile the lad himself has had a bug and been off his food. He seems to have an appetite today, but his nappies have been interesting. Prayers for safe travel for everyone and that this bug isn't anything too serious or catching would be much appreciated!

Continuing to pray too.

amberlight · 30/04/2010 14:18

Happy Birthday CaptainDippygirl!!
Prayers continuing.

Why am I so lacking in confidence at the moment? It's just not like me at all...

MaryBS · 30/04/2010 15:54

Praying Amber.

And yay and a happy birthday to the diplet!

Would welcome prayers... daughter is feeling REALLY low about lack of friends. School has suggested she keep a diary - page 1 today - full of negative thoughts

madhairday · 30/04/2010 17:41

Will pray for your dd Mary. so sorry she is having a hard time.
Amber, praying that God will increase your confidence in yourself again. He loves you so much....

Happy birthday to DippyDD!

Hope and pray the baptism goes well, BlueEyeshadow and the bug isn't anything too bad.

Not had a great couple of days healthwise. think it is the weather but chest has taken a downturn. Better today than yesterday. I need to see my consultant soon, it's been too long and they are rubbish at getting appts out here, you end up having to chase it, how bad is that, ... sigh. Hope everyone has a lovely weekend.

CaptainDippy · 30/04/2010 19:30

Thank you for your kind wishes. We have had a lovely day
