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

428 replies

CaptainDippy · 18/06/2010 11:34

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!!

MaryBS · 01/07/2010 09:19

Can you please pray for Andrew Gosden's dad? He has got a career-threatening hearing on Friday, and is understandably worried about it.

Please also pray for the family of C. C (aged 3) died last year in an accident, and the inquest was this week. Its been in the papers too. It was a tragic accident, but C's mum blames herself . C's gran is a friend of my mum's.

DutchOma · 01/07/2010 13:07

Will do. All such sad and tragic circumstances.

shieldbug · 01/07/2010 14:39

I have to have regular scans because I have large fibroids, making this a higher risk pregnancy. Anyway, we have been praying regularly about this situation and in the last scan yesterday, the fibroids had stopped growing, so that's some good news to share with you all. As the baby (I call it sproglet) grows, the problems increase because it will have less and less room so please pray that sproglet will be able to grow normally and that the fibroids won't do it any harm (for example they could cause prem birth). Cheers!

Mary will pray.

Soozi I grew up in Notts and my parents are still there. Hope you had a good shop!

DutchOma · 01/07/2010 18:45

That's wonderful news about the fibroids Shieldbug. It is of course entirely possible for God to shrink them into nothingness and for Sproglet to have all the room (s)he needs to grow to full maturity.

Hermya321 · 01/07/2010 18:51

Shieldbug Hello there, fancy seeing you round these parts!!

Praying for you all!!

Fink · 01/07/2010 18:57

Hi all,

I wondered if I could join you too?

I'd like to offer thanks to God for the healing of 3 teenagers at my school - 2 with cancer and 1 anorexia, all completely cured!

DutchOma · 01/07/2010 21:30

How wonderful to have you here, Fink, with such wonderful news. Praise God for His goodness.

ZipadiSoozi · 01/07/2010 23:56

Hia Fink! Indeed praise God!!!

Had a lovely shop, even got change! rofl
although prayers for issues at work to spoil a lovely week! roll on tomorrow 'DANCING' yehaa

ZipadiSoozi · 02/07/2010 00:00

ooh shieldbug! hello to your mum and dad! we live South Notts - prayers for your F's and indeed for your 'sproglet' aw!

amberlight · 02/07/2010 08:28

Keeping everyone in prayers. Situation with charity work has gone from bad to worse. Off on holiday today for a week for a much needed break. Could do with prayers that we return refreshed and with a few new plans for the future...

weegiemum · 02/07/2010 08:31

I'm off on holiday tomorrow morning for 3 weeks (eek! exciting) so won't be around.

Have to spend today packing and cleaning, so don't know if I will be back on before we go (this time tomorrow!)

Byee!

madhairday · 02/07/2010 11:34

Hello hello!!

Got home yesterday after 2 weeks in the five star resort as I like to fondly call it

Am pretty wobbly, and tired after some full on treatment, we will see if it does the trick and kills the bugs - still have home treatment to carry it all on. Just soooo happy to be home - it's been hard, most of all being away from dh and the dcs. Lovely, lovely to be home - slept for 12 hrs last night. sheer bliss.....

I will catch up on the prayers, thanks Dippy for the new thread. Praying for all on here, welcome to newbies and waves to everyone very happily to be home!

CaptainDippy · 02/07/2010 16:16

I am exhausted!! Goodness me!!

Mary, will pray for Andrew Gosden's dad and for the inquest into the death of C - so tragic Do keep us updated. xx

I echo the prayer that your fibroids would just "disappear" shieldbug That would be amazing xx

Great stuff Fink!!!* Thank you for sharing ....

Right, off to start tea .....

Flying by for a quick update as I'm off to bed ASAP.

Prayers of praise please for my scan today. All was well. I'm due on 7th Jan so 13 weeks today.

I ran into a friend on the way out of the hospital who had just had it confirmed that she had just miscarried Lord, please wrap this little family up in your love. You know how hard it is to watch horrible things happen to people who deserve nothing other than happiness? I could actually feel my gut wrenching with sorrow for her as she cried and we hugged. And, do you know what she was more bothered about? Seeing my scan pics Please Lord help me to be a good friend to her through this and don't let my pregnancy be hard for her.
