All posting, those they are posting for and those who aren't posting for any reason.
We present our end of project report at the end of the week and the twelve parts and seven annexes & appendices are about 85% complete. By about noon Friday we'll have a good idea whether the project will continue.
Can we have prayers that everything remains peaceful and constructive and that the report is well-received.

For Kingsfold and for everyone's needs and requests here.
We returned mostly dry and none the worse for our 20-22 miles walkies apart from blisters and sore legs. Thankyou Lord that the rain didn't arive until late afternoon.
Tomorrow we are off to see mum and maybe help prepare an end of life plan. In the mean time I have to get my regular work done in the rain.
Thanks for your prayers ((((Shipmates))))

Blimey, that was fast. I got my guidance, and one of the people in question did step up.
Specifically, Telemum's really worried about being in good voice for a job she's doing today. We all know how lack of voice can cost a job, at times, and staying in work is very important to her well-being.
Also for K. whose son had an accident and was being treated in A&E last night. No updates since.

It seems that K's son appeared on her doorstep at 4am on Monday morning, having been randomly attacked and kicked in the face by four men. They then spent until about 7pm on Monday travelling between hospitals and departments. Her son will go back for plastic surgery tomorrow. Please pray for his healing, and for repentance from the four men who attacked him

for everyone and their needs
especially for Kingsfold, Kingsfold's mum, rest in peace, and Kingfold's dad and sister
for Telepath to get a good job soon and have time to do all the work she has to do -- and to have space to breathe, and for K's full healing and for his assaulters.
my cousin C's aunt called him yesterday to tell C his dad, G, in poor health and in the hospice, may only have a week or 2 longer. For G, may things better than C's aunt is saying, and in any case, comfort for G, and for all the members of the family, which is rather fraught with various relational fault lines, let there be reconciliation and understanding.
Just now this morning I just discovered a problem with accessing my website, which has a virtual library i have been asembling, and which represents several years work -- and which i have not backed up nearly as much as i should have (yes, i know that's my own fault). I'm getting ready to call the hosting service -- please God let this be cleared up quickly (And then let me not be slack in the resolution i no make to properly back things up as soon as this problem is fixed!)

Another interview :wildhair: on Monday
At least twice a day something new and onerous is getting added to my task list :wildhair: and I honestly don't know if I'm going to succeed at all this :wildhair:
If I could just get the post I'm waiting for that would take so much pressure off :wildhair:

Could you pray please: E is another very troubled person. She need professional help, possibly medical, but there's no indication that she is aware that this could be an option. In the mean time, life around her is exceptionally difficult.
Please pray that others aren't hurt by E's unresolved difficulties, that she bumps into/is captured by someone that can make her see sense.
I had a nasty bump this evening. A proper, legs chopped out from under me, ten years of CBT undone, weeping in public bump. I need to do some work to sort it out. I don't know if I should be more assertive or more forgiving, or both. Probably both. Sigh.

See, that work thing. I'm one-third the way through writing a book. Yes, I know I have to stop that to copy edit over a 1000 pages of the previous one, and I know I only have three weeks to do that in or it'll throw the entire publishing schedule out (again). I also have 60 school reports to write, which is fine, and I still have to do all the cooking, shopping, washing and cleaning and fetching and carrying as well as answering all the homework questions and taking the mother-in-law to hospital appointments, oversee the building work, take the cats to the vets and go to London to launch an entirely different book.
I've just also got the writing opportunity of my life, which I need to spend serious time on or it'll evaporate. If I can pull this one thing off, what I laughingly call a career will take a massive leap forward. Except...
I'm not Joshua. I can't stop the sun in the sky while I fight the battle. I genuinely have no idea how I'm going to both fulfil all my existing commitments and do the new thing. Six months time, yes. Now, no.

The yukon river is ice jamming and flooding pretty dramatically. As the ice moves downstream, it hits a new snag and backs up into the next town. Each village is getting their turn. I feel we're praying our way down the river. There's still hundreds of miles of river to go.
And now the Susitna (ours!) is rising rising rising... And I may be leaving town a day or two before all my friends and neighbors need help.
So prayers for those threatened by rising waters, please.

Praying for all by name. And (((hugs))) for all who need them.
Telepath, I may be joining you soon with the :wildhair:! I have a very specific (big) task to finish by Friday (as part of a bigger project) and I'm still getting meeting requests and emails with actions for this week, from otherwise very professional people who seem to be incapable of reading an Outlook calendar properly. My project manager returns on Monday and he will expect my part of the work to be done. Lord, help me to say No without being rude. [ 29. May 2013, 06:00: Message edited by: Starbug ]

For K and her son.
For M.
For kingsfold, and kingsfold's dad and sister.
For The Midge.
For malik3000's C and healing for his dad G, and reconciliation all round.
For restoration of malik3000's virtual library and for him to back things up properly!
For Mad Cat's E, and for Mad Cat.
Doc Tor, you are not Joshua, but if you and Starbug and I get together, that's three of us agreeing, so with our combined faith we should easily be able to stop the sun in the sky while we fight the battle. Failing that, we can form a hair metal band. Who's with me?
For safety for all in the path of the rising waters of the Yukon and Susitna rivers.
(Could I just, please, [sigh okay sensible if You think I should have it] get the post I interviewed for on Friday, and could I please hear by tomorrow at the latest, kith, because an interview on Monday and another on Tuesday while I have this workload no just no [oh all right then, yes])

My cousin / non-genetic brother C has received word the his father G has died. It seems to me from my observation from 600 miles away of the family dynamics that C is the only one in the family who will really miss him. I would like to think I am wrong.
G lived life on the edge -- may he now be centered in peace and joy. [ 29. May 2013, 18:35: Message edited by: malik3000 ]

I have a job offer, dependent on pre-employment checks, for a job I really really want.
In 90 minutes' time I have a "routine" appointment with Occupational Health to "clarify my fitness for the post" - where I guess "routine" means "we'd do it for anybody with such a long and significant history of mental-health problems, we're not just basing it on the look of you". I don't think they can stop me getting the job, but I don't know what they want to ask me given that I wrote them a very full declaration regarding my mental-health problems to start with.
Prayers that it goes okay would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Please pray for my colleagues at work. Someone is retiring so there is an opportunity for a promotion in our small team. Several people have applied and management is handling this in the WORST way. Please pray for a fair and transparent selection process, a good decision at the end of it and no ill effects from the inevitable competition between team members.
