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.

Be with Malia as she sees other doctors about her knee. I pray everything turns out fine, Lord. Give her your peace during this time, and trust that you will work everything out.

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.

Thank you that Angie has been able to quit smoking. Please help her to continue to find her smiles in you.

Lord, be with Pattie as she struggles to stay nicotine-free. Give her strength and peace and cover her with your power.

Please heal Margaret’s sore back.

Lead the right accountability partner to Audra. Please also be with her these last few weeks before her baby’s birth.

Lord, I lift up all my friends who are married to non-believers. Give them love and perseverance and grace. Encourage and bless them as only you can.

Lord, you are holy, mighty, awesome. Amen.

No Cold Bums toilet seat cover

Captain's Log, Stardate 08.22.2008 I actually wrote out my pattern! I was getting a lot of hits on my infamous toilet seat cover , and I wanted to make a new one with “improvements,” so I paid attention and wrote things down as I made the new one. This was originally based off the Potty Mouth toilet cover , but I altered it to fit over the seat instead of the lid. Yarn: any worsted weight yarn, about 120 yards (this is a really tight number, I used exactly 118 yards. My suggestion is to make sure you have about 130 yards.) I suggest using acrylic yarn because you’re going to be washing this often. Needle: I used US 8, but you can use whatever needle size is recommended by the yarn you’re using. Gauge: Not that important. Mine was 4 sts/1 inch in garter stitch. 6 buttons (I used some leftover shell buttons I had in my stash) tapestry needle Crochet hook (optional) Cover: Using a provisional cast on, cast on 12 stitches. Work in garter st until liner measures

Grace Livingston Hill romances free to read online

I wanted to update my old post on Grace Livingston Hill romances because now there are tons more options for you to be able to read her books for free online! I’m a huge Grace Livingston Hill fan. Granted, not all her books resonate with me, but there are a few that I absolutely love, like The Enchanted Barn and Crimson Roses . And the best part is that she wrote over 100 books and I haven’t yet read them all! When I have time, I like to dive into a new GLH novel. I like the fact that most of them are romances, and I especially appreciate that they all have strong Christian themes. Occasionally the Christian content is a little heavy-handed for my taste, but it’s so interesting to see what the Christian faith was like in the early part of the 20th century. These books are often Cinderella-type stories or A Little Princess (Frances Hodgson Burnett) type stories, which I love. And the best part is that they’re all set in the early 1900s, so the time period is absolutely fasci

Tabi socks, part deux

Captain's Log, Stardate 07.25.2008 (If you're on Ravelry, friend me! I'm camytang.) I made tabi socks again! (At the bottom of the pattern is the calculation for the toe split if you're not using the same weight yarn that I did for this pattern (fingering). I also give an example from when I used worsted weight yarn with this pattern.) I used Opal yarn, Petticoat colorway. It’s a finer yarn than my last pair of tabi socks, so I altered the pattern a bit. Okay, so here’s my first foray into giving a knitting pattern. Camy’s top-down Tabi Socks I’m assuming you already know the basics of knitting socks. If you’re a beginner, here are some great tutorials: Socks 101 How to Knit Socks The Sock Knitter’s Companion A video of turning the heel Sock Knitting Tips Yarn: I have used both fingering weight and worsted weight yarn with this pattern. You just change the number of cast on stitches according to your gauge and the circumference of your ankle. Th

A visit to Zondervan

Whew! After being offline for two weeks, I finished a book, read the Twilight series, and visited my editors at Zondervan! And I have pics! Isn't this nice of them? This was at the front door. This is the lobby area. This is my macro editor, Becky Philpott! This is my senior editor, Sue Brower! This is editorial assistant Bridgette Brooks. On the side, she teaches voice lessons and she gave me a cool pointer about supporting my breath. :) I didn't catch her at her desk, but this is the desk area of my Marketing Director, Alicia Mey! I love her wall. Some of you may know, Zondervan moved its distribution to a centralized location run by their parent company, Harper Collins. So we visited the ghostly warehouse. We thought about throwing a few paper airplanes in the space.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving! May your day be stuffed (haha) with good food, great company, and a nap or two!

"Let Me Hold You" Crossbody Bag Knitting Pattern

My novel, The Lone Rice Ball , is in the multi-author box set, Once Upon a Starry Night , a Christian contemporary romance collection. Also in the box set is my friend Jan Thompson’s novel, Let Me Hold You . I made this pattern for her to celebrate our box set being released. It’s the crossbody bag worn by Jan’s character Maggie. You can download a free PDF of the pattern here (no email necessary). See this pattern in Ravelry. If you are savvy with a sewing machine, you can make a cloth lining and sew it to the inside. If you use a stretchy fabric, you can take advantage of the stretchy nature of the bag. If you leave it unlined, you can take this bag to the beach and easily shake the sand out of it. I happened to have a D-ring and buckle, which I used to make the strap adjustable, but you don’t need these to make this bag. You can simply sew the end of the strap to the bag rather than using the D-ring. If you have a D-ring but not a buckle, you can do a (YO, k2tog) in the
