Sunday Prayer

Captain’s Log, Stardate 01.08.2006

Anybody have prayer requests? Leave them in the comments and I’ll be praying this week. You don’t have to be Christian to leave a prayer request. If you’d rather not advertise to everyone on the blogosphere, just leave an unspoken prayer request.

Now I’m getting paranoid I’m forgetting somebody. If you don’t see yourself and you want to, email me or leave a comment. I never promised I had a better memory than a goldfish. “Oh! I have a castle!”

Not to be mean or anything, but if you don't email me or comment to update your prayer request, I'm only going to pray 3 Sundays. I've got a couple fly-by prayer requests and a growing list.

Lord God, thank you for this day today and your love that reigns over everything else.

Please be with all the teens going to WinterVision retreat next weekend. I pray for your blessing and Holy Spirit power over all of them.

I lift up Squirl’s orphans in India and pray you will watch over them and continue to help them to grow in your love. Heal Squirl’s leg pain and give unity, love, and strength to her family.

Please help Pammer be disciplined in her writing and not distracted. Protect her from spiritual warfare. Please keep her family care running smoothly.

Be with Julie as she is examined and I pray the lumps are benign. Heal her and draw her closer to you.

Thank you for setting Heather on this new journey. Give her courage and strength to do what you want her to do, to grow as you want her to grow. Protect her from spiritual warfare and give her the strength to resist Satan’s lies.

Be with Dineen in all her writing projects. Lead and guide her as she continues with her current manuscript. Help her to surrender it to you, and bless her abundantly as she writes.

Lead Robin to the perfect agent soon. Continue to help her as she works on several writing projects. Continue to protect Emily.

Provide for Ronie and her family, and give her grace for the trials she faces every day. Thank you for her cheerful spirit and joyful heart.

Help Ron to know what you have planned for him and his writing.

Be with Gina as she waits on several agents, and I pray you will give her the agent you want for her soon. Give her your peace and joy as she writes.

Cover Crystal with your love and lead her in her writing. Bless her and encourage her as only you can.

Help Mir continue in her writing, lifting it up to you. I pray for healing for her body, and that you will provide everything she needs to serve you this year.

Be with Paula as she rests in you. Continue to help her to write for you, and give her everything she needs to both write and devote herself to her children.

Be with Megan this week like a robe wrapped around her, a whisper in her ear. Write your words through her. Help her to be disciplined and efficient, and help her to see how much you love her and desire to do wonderful things through her.

Please comfort Robyn during this time.

I lift up Lori to you and pray for whatever decision she needs to make with her ACL injury after the MRI in January.

Be with Donna as she writes her next book, and work through her.

Thank you for Gail’s smooth recovery from surgery, and please continue to heal her quickly. Be also with her daughter Brenda during chemo, and I pray you will help treatments go smoothly with minimal discomfort.

Continue to be with Janice and help her in every way.

Help Heather G. with finding new friends at school. Lead and guide her, give her your strength and courage and peace. Lead her to girls who will help her depend more on you.

Lead and guide Yim in this new year with her job and studies.

Father, please continue to heal Amber from her severe injuries. Thank you that she is showing miraculous signs of recovery.

Please help me continue to heal from my surgery, and help me be productive and disciplined with my writing time.

Lord, cover your persecuted church with your power and might. Use your people for your honor and glory.

Please provide a vehicle for Missy’s husband’s cousin’s family, serving as missionaries in Kenya.

Give Glynna peace and patience as she waits on her query to JKG.

Help Tina F. have time to edit her novel and spend time with her family, as well as juggling work.

Please provide a job or income of some sort for Becky that will allow her to continue to spend time with her kids and on her schooling.

Brainstorm - character occupation

Captain's Log, Stardate 03.23.2009 Hey guys, I could use some help. In my current manuscript, The Year of the Dog , which is a humorous contemporary romance, I have a minor character, Eddie. He’s my heroine’s ex-boyfriend, and they’re on good terms with each other. He’s a bit irresponsible, but not so much so that he’s a complete loser. He’s got a very easy going attitude, he forgets to pay his bills sometimes, he’s friendly and charming. He’s adventurous and fun to be around, but he’s a little forgetful sometimes, and he tends to spend a little outside his income. I need an occupation for him. What would a charming, easy going, slightly irresponsible guy do for a living? He’s not too irresponsible, because otherwise readers will wonder what in the world my heroine saw in him to date him in the first place. She was attracted to his charm, his easy going attitude (her family’s uptight, and he was a nice contrast), and his adventurousness. But his forgetfulness and irresponsibility ...

Window shopping

Captain’s Log, Stardate 03.14.2005 Knee update: I went to the doctor today for a checkup, and saw his assistant. I’ve been concerned because there’s still inflammation in my knee joint, and it’s been almost 4 months since the surgery. She said she’d talk to the doctor about it tomorrow and call me. Sometimes he suggests laying off the PT to see if that causes the inflammation to go away, but I don’t know if that will work because lately I’ve been pretty active outside of PT. At PT today, the therapist did ultrasound and some sort of electrical current on the joint. Hopefully that will make the inflammation start to go down. I’ll know by tomorrow, probably. Writing: Mt. Hermon conference starts this Friday! On Thursday night, I’ll be at the Santana Row Borders bookstore to help out (and hopefully learn a bit, too) at a booksigning for several of the ACFW authors who are attending Mt. Hermon . That should be lots of fun. I had a good brainstorming time at ...

New book idea a la Captain Caffeine

Captain's Log, Stardate 04.14.2009 So my husband, Captain Caffeine, had lunch with a few friends a few days ago. And they asked about my writing, and if I’d been on Oprah yet. (Yeah, right) They then discussed NYT bestselling books, and why can’t Camy write a NYT bestseller. (Sure, let me just open a vein over a blank page and it’ll come right out.) So Captain Caffeine came home with ideas for my new NYT bestselling novel. First it starts with vampires, because Twilight is so hot. But not just any vampires. This one’s an Amish vampire. And he’s not just an Amish vampire, he’s a cop in disguise, infiltrating the Amish community to protect a witness. (Hmm, that storyline sounds familiar ...) But wait! There’s more! To add more conflict and stick with my brand of Asian fiction, we introduce the Tibetan monk! Who joins the Amish community to get away from the pressures of monkhood. But in reality, he’s protecting the Chinese princess on the run, trying to escape from her father’s Hong...

Chinese Take-Out and Sushi for One

Captain’s Log, Supplemental My agent sent me an article from Publisher’s Weekly that discussed this incident: Chinese Take-Out Spawns Christian Controversy And here’s also a blog post that talks about it in more detail: The Fighting 44s This is Soong-Chan Rah’s blog: The PCS blog In sum: Apparently Zondervan (yes, my publisher), who has partnered with Youth Specialties, had put out a youth leaders skit that had stereotypical Asian dialogue, which offended many Christian Asian Americans. In response to the outcry, Zondervan/Youth Specialities put out a sincere apology and is not only freezing the remaining stock of the book, but also reprinting it and replacing the copies people have already bought. I am very proud of my publisher for how they have handled this situation. The skit writers have also issued a public apology . (I feel sorry for them, because they were only trying to write a funny skit, not stir up this maelstrom of internet controversy. I’ve been in youth work long enou...

Japanese language learning process in more detail

I blogged a few weeks ago that I’ve jumped back into my Japanese language learning after being lazy and letting it slide. I’ve been keeping my Japanese language study habit for about a month now, and I wanted to blog about my process in more detail. One thing I had noticed about my Japanese is that I tended not to do it if I left it to do at the end of the day. I realized that it was just like my exercise—if I didn’t do it first thing in the morning, it never got done. So I started doing my Japanese right after my exercise in the morning. I treated it like one of my “frogs,” as I read about in the book Eat That Frog!: 21 Great Ways to Stop Procrastinating and Get More Done in Less Time . The book is based off of a Mark Twain quote: “Eat a live frog first thing in the morning and nothing worse will happen to you the rest of the day.” It suggests doing your “frogs”—your important things that you’re likely to procrastinate doing—first thing in the morning in order to get it done, and ...
