June 2010 - MN Christian Prayer Request Thread: Captain Dippy apologises for going AWOL ....

She's back!!!!!!

Gosh, I am soooo sorry for a rather prolonged absence. Since going on holiday last month to Center Parcs I just feel like life has been zoooooooooming along at about 100 mph. I kept meaning to catch up here, but never quite meaning to do it. so sorry!! Having said that, I have been "chatting" to DO, Mary, Jen and others on Facebook a bit and Mary very^ kindly took my 'phone call about my mother outlaw's friends' daughter and granddaughter who have been involved in the horrific car crash.....

There was no one else involved. It seems that the daughter just drove into the wall of a shopping centre. No idea why. It was though initially that the granddaughter had the more severe injuries and was airlifted to hospital; but the daughter had to be cut out of the car and turned out to have the worse injuries. They have both been through hours or surgery and are now in induced comas. They both have some really awful injuries including broken bones, major internal abdominal injuries, possibly spinal problems and the granddaughter has concussion and possible major cranial injuries. It is just unthinkable awful. Please, please just pray for a miracle. The major worry at the moment is the daughter's abdominal injuries might cause Peritonitis, which could prove very serious. She also has a very dangerous blood clot in the top of her thigh. I just cannot imagine what her parents are going through, and her husband. This is all too awful.

Gosh.

Well I have a summary of all the prayer requests from the beginning of May to the present for you all. I am afraid I just simply couldn't cope with summarising April as well. I hope you don't mind!!

Here they are:

A heart murmur has also been discovered too.

Praying Amber. Its in God's hands!

BlueEyeshadow · 24/06/2010 18:48

Feeling tired, hot and frazzled today.

Had a stressful morning on a playgroup outing with the boys and then had to come back and work. It's relatively productive but going to be taking up all my free time for the next few days.

DS2 doesn't like the heat and is still sleeping badly, which doesn't help at all.

Praying for all.

CaptainDippy · 24/06/2010 19:01

Bad stress at work today, horrid horrid horrid. Left feeling inadequate and like a naughty school girl Sigh .....

Prayers for everyone, and thank you for the prayers said to get me through the last 24 hrs. Just so shaken...

shieldbug · 25/06/2010 13:31

Hello all! I've just found out about this thread from the religion debate that's raging at the moment, so thought I'd sign myself up. A special hello to Hermya who I've already met on MN .

MaryBS · 25/06/2010 14:42

Welcome shieldbug, we're very friendly here! At least something good has come out of that thread, other than the usual atheist/theist debate

teaandcakeplease · 25/06/2010 15:00

Hello Shieldbug

shieldbug · 25/06/2010 16:21

Just to let you all know a little about me. I'm 36 and pg with my first and due in October, like Hermya. My DH is Christian too. I'm a PhD student and struggling to complete as much of my work as possible before I go on mat leave. No specific prayer requests at the moment, but I shall try my best to support all of you in prayer. Oh yes, and I'm currently living in NI, which is where DH is from. Don't suppose any of you are too?
Looking forward to getting to know you all better.

BlueEyeshadow · 25/06/2010 20:41

Hi shieldbug.

Not doing too badly here - work is going quite well. Just could do with being slightly less knackered!

DutchOma · 25/06/2010 20:46

Welcome Shieldbug.

CaptainDippy · 26/06/2010 23:03

Still praying for everyone.

MaryBS · 28/06/2010 10:27

Can I just offer up a prayer for all who are adversely affected by the heat?

Keeping you all in prayer also...

weegiemum · 28/06/2010 13:10

Hi shieldbug and welcome! I'm not in NI but that is where my dh is from too - he swears he'll never go back though, so we live in Scotland.

We had a fab weekend at Solas, which was the first ever Scottish version of Greenbelt. It was great fun and the kids had an absolute ball, from storytelling to Samba drumming to Gaelic singing to junk modelling in the woods to watching bands like the Peatbog Faeries (a favourite of mine) . Sun shone, midges mostly stayed away, and it all went really smoothly.

Prayers for you all!
