For a win for Mr Lamb vs the Encroaching Creature.
For Grammatica's friend, for healing.
For Starbug, for healing.
For a successful test for Hugal.
For comet's nephew Patrick to be returned safe.
For conflict resolution in the Overberg, for peace and safety.
For Gill H's friends the S family, for justice, peace, and healing to prevail.
For Jenn., for healing.
For better employment for Zeke.
For daisymay's M, for healing.
For T, still unemployed.
For R.
I received the wonderful news that it's time for my 6-month review. I have no reason to think that this will go badly, I seem to be doing my job pretty well and you'd think I'd know by now if we had any problems. But the Vietnam flashbacks are overriding my rational thought right now. Put together with the demos I have to show off to the customer next week, and I am struggling with anxiety and totally unearned shame. Rationally, the biggest danger is that my shame takes over and I end up stigmatising myself for no reason. (I hope that's the biggest danger.)

My Grandad is dying. Peacefully and sleepily with good care, good company, a solid faith, and a loving family, but it still hurts a bit because we've always been very close.
Please pray for him, for the rest of my family, and for me as I rearrange life for a return trip to the other side of the world to be with my family.

Thank you for praying for me yesterday. At times, I had a tickly throat and sneeze, but I took some Lemsip Max and remembered your prayers and it just disappeared! As our office is full of sneezers, coughers and other unhealthy people, this is amazing. So thank you and Thank You, Lord. : ![[Smile]](smile.gif)

Reading and praying.
Praying too for a quiet night for my grandpa J in Oz - he was taken into hospital on Wednesday and needs a pacemaker but they were unable to do the operation on Friday because he was too confused and agitated. If he has a quiet night and is relatively lucid in the morning then they can go ahead.
And, selfishly, I'd rather not lose 3 out of 4 grandparents in a sinlge 12 month period.

for Nanny! Wish I was close enough to buy you a beer.
I am struggling with sciatica. (I went to the doctor - she said it should wear off in 6-8 weeks.) So now I have some work to do I'm finding it hard to do it, as I'm only really comfortable lying flat out. I dare not ask what else can go wrong, as i know plenty can, but could Life just ease up a bit?

pls pray for:
-the Magician (my beloved) to find a job soon
-The Girl's friend, "A", who smokes at 15. Turns out that the Girl (my bonus daughter-beloved's daughter) gets smokes from her own dad. Her dad lives in his car out in front of the convenience store near us and is homeless. I have told the Girl to reach out to A, as long as she doesn't try to involve her into her shenanigans, as she could use a good influence in her life, maybe God is putting the Girl in her life to help her? I would like her to go to the youth group at our church with the Girl. Please pray for something to happen to help her and her dad. thanks.

For Ultracrepidarian's Grandad, for a safe journey home. For Ultracrepidarian and his family as he organises the logistics of travel on this earth.
For Rayncatt, for healing.
For healing for Starbug. (Also, for the Telemum to still not get this. While I spent Christmas swooning and snorking, she was all "no, dear, when you reach my age you're immune to nearly everything, and besides I don't have such unhealthy habits as you" - well, I hope she's right.)
For travelling mercies for PeteC.
For more effective and sensitive policing, and successful wage negotiations, in Mary LA's neck of the woods.
For To The Pain's grandpa J, for healing.
What? For Nanny Ogg's housing to be sorted out immediately.
For Robert Armin, for healing and successful completion of work.
For Otter's T, his family, and friends.
For duchess' Magician to find work and housing soon, and for the Girl and her friend A.
So I got a notice about my redundancy consultation today and freaked out. I had to break my façade of cool long enough to phone the admin, who said that both this, and the review, were completely standard as I'm six months into a 12-month contract. So, phew.
Second, I'm working flat out to get the demos ready and of course the last 1% of the work had to be absolutely monumental, didn't it? I still have to visualise it, rearchitect it, and deploy it and hello, fun weekend. I really need to impress Boss and Funders this coming week. Curse you, sickly pre-Christmas week, for delaying me unto this.
Oh yeah, and I'm also six months into a twelve-month contract. This means I have to start looking for work. Did I ever mention how much I enjoy that?
Of course, I always have the option of not worrying about any of this. Some spiritual help with that would be good.

Been away a week and just catching up
For Abigail
For Ross
For Amanada B. Reckondwythe's nephew John and Amanada's sister and her husband, now devastated by grief
for for Mr. Lamb and Lamb Chopped
for PeteC's Ana
for Telepath's Visiting Cat
for Comet's Patrick
and for each, though unmentioned, being prayed for by name and need
LM, a friend of mine, a very caring person to both humans (including me when I was in serious need 12 years ago) and non-humans, called me in tears because CeCe, her beloved and sweet cat of several years (whom i've had the pleasure of meeting) has been missing now 3 days. I feel guilty not posting this prayer request yesterday as that would have added ammunition from this prayer navy 24 hours earlier. She was still missing as of this morning.
A hallelujah of thanksgiving that God is so far upholding me in this new year.
That i can get more organized financially and that i may be able to get a car somehow.
That i can conquer an insect infestation that has recently manifested in my home.

Can I ask for prayers for work collegaues involved in a court case at present, that the outcome is fair for all concerned. Also for my friend C who has on-going problems with money.
Also for me that I can get through these next few weeks until I take up a new post at work with as little hassle as possible.

Tired.
Fed up at work but almost too tired from that job to put 100% into my interviews for another. Missing my cat - which sounds pathetic but is undeniably the case. And it's not easy to make rational and well-considered decisions about jobs and security and the like when what you feel like is just running away to somewhere warm and safe and hiding under a duvet with a box of chocolates. This latter is not an option, sadly. I want to live life to the full but with my current work situation I feel as though I'm wading through porridge.
I'd so appreciate your prayers for some oomph, and some direction.

Miss you, Erin.
