Sunday Prayer

Captain’s Log, Stardate 01.15.2006

Leave any prayer requests 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 or email me.

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.

Father, thank you for your grace on us, and your sovereign will. We trust you in all things.

I lift up Wintervision retreat to you. Lay your hand over all the kids, the cabin leaders, the staff. Rain down your power and your glory and your grace. Change lives and reveal yourself powerfully to everyone there.

Please give wisdom and skill to Squirl's doctors so that they can treat her hip. I pray for healing for her so she doesn't have to live in pain.

Give Pammer your affirmation for her writing, Lord. Help her to seek your will alone, and lead and guide her in her writing. Help her to resist the spiritual warfare making her feel insecure. Help her ground herself in you.

I pray Julie's lumps are benign, and that you will not only heal her completely, but that you will heal her wounded spirit, too.

Give Heather strength to do what she needs to do for you. I pray you blessed her at the retreat this weekend and gave her direction for her writing.

Give Dineen guidance in her writing for 2006. Lead her and encourage her.

Be with Robin as she waits for replies to proposals. Give her the right agent soon. Continue to protect Emily.

Lord, please guide and direct Ronie in her writing. She only desires your will Lord—please reveal it to her. Help her to know what you want her to write and where to submit, so that she can be used for your glory alone.

Lead and guide Ron in his writing. Help him to write for you.

Be with Gina as she waits, and give her the assurance that you will provide her with the agent you want for her.

Encourage Crystal in her writing and give her comfort and direction.

Thank you that Mir had a great ACT ONE workshop. Lord, I pray for healing for Mir--her carpal tunnel and everything else. Please ease her pain and touch her body with your power. Give wisdom to her doctors. Please continue to motivate her and give her strength for her diet and exercise (me too, Lord). Also give her discipline and inspiration on her writing this next week. And lastly, I pray for her family's salvation.

Help Paula continue to keep her eyes on you as she juggles her writing and family. Give her affirmation in her priorities.

Please give Megan guidance and direction about this new part-time job she’s been offered. Help her to know your will for her so that she can follow you alone.

Please give Lori and her doctors wisdom about her ACL after they look at her MRI.

Help Donna continue to dedicate book #4 to you.

Please continue to help Gail heal quickly from her surgery. I pray for healing for Brenda and that you will ease her discomfort from the chemotherapy.

Help Heather G. to both find good friends at school and find a closer walk with you.

Give Malia and her doctors wisdom as they look at her knee. Please also give her guidance about her schoolwork, patience with her teachers, and direction as she figures out what you want her to do.

Be with Yim in her writing, her job, and her career direction.

Lord, please heal Amber from her injuries. Give wisdom to the doctors and strength to her body.

Be with Glynna as she waits on her query to JKG. Assure her of your love for her and your plans for her writing. Give her guidance and encouragement.

Be with Tina F. and help her to prioritize her writing/editing, her family, and her work. Give her your peace and guidance.

Provide a job or income to Becky, so that she can continue to care for her children and attend school. Give her wisdom and guidance. Help her to look to you and to trust in whatever direction you take her.

Be with Angie P. and continue to help her and guide her. Heal any hurts, lift her spirits. I also pray for healing for Pattie. Give her your strength and power.

Please heal Margaret's husband. I pray he responds well to the new medication.

Please provide Audra with a good accountability partner, and help her through these last weeks of her pregnancy.

Lord, please be with Margo as she starts up a new Bible study. Please give her guidance and descend your spirit upon everyone in the group. Grow them into women who will know you, love you, and serve you.

Lord, I lift up Kelly to you and ask for your hand over her right now.

Thank you for helping LaShaunda reach her goal on her writing retreat!

Father, thank you so much for fixing Lynette's Alphasmart! Please help her as she races toward her deadline.

Please be with Tiff as she starts her new job. Thank you for providing for her!

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, I pray my ACL isn't torn. If it is, give me peace about what has happened and wisdom about what to do next.

Cover your persecuted church with your wings, and give them strength to continue to persevere. Shower them with your power and might.

All your people worship you. Amen.

Bible in 90 Days: day 7. I'm in the dreaded Leviticus. It's actually not bad because I'm reading it so fast and flying through. If I were reading fewer chapters a day, I think it would be harder to keep moving through it. My Life Application notes say to think of Leviticus as God's instructions in worship, which is an interesting attitude to take as I read it.

Writing: This is my day of rest from my manuscript, but I'm hoping to get another Swain article done today. I'll also be interviewing TRACEY BATEMAN on my blog in a week or so--I'll have to figure out some great questions for her.

Diet: Didn't do great yesterday, but I was still in comfort food mode. I had four cookies for dessert. :)

Today, I had a Greek steak sandwich--really great. Tonight...maybe some vegetable soup.

Laura’s Apricot Shell Shawl knitting pattern

I usually have a knitting project in mind when I write it into one of my books, but Laura’s apricot-colored shawl just kind of appeared upon the page as I was writing the first scene of Lady Wynwood’s Spies, volume 4: Betrayer , and it surprised even me. I immediately went to my yarn stash to find a yarn for it, and I searched through my antique knitting books to find some stitch patterns. I made her an elegant wool shawl she could wear at home. The shawl ended up tagging along with Laura into the next book, Lady Wynwood’s Spies, volume 5: Prisoner , where it imparts some comfort to her in her trying circumstances. The two stitch patterns are both from the same book, The Lady’s Assistant, volume 2 by Mrs. Jane Gaugain, published in 1842 . A couple excessively clever and creative knitters might have knit these patterns in the Regency era, but they would have only passed them around by word of mouth or scribbled “recipes” to friends or family, and it wouldn’t have been widely use

Matthew 22:37-39

Dear Lord, You have done so much for me. I am so grateful to you for sending your son to die for my sins so that I can be renewed, so that I can come before you and feel the comfort of your presence. I know that I am not alone, because you are with me. I want to love you completely and without inhibition. Teach me to be like you and love others as you love them. Your love is truly unending and glorious. Amen 親愛なる神様、 あなたは私のために多くのことをしてくださいました。私が新しく生まれ変われるように、あなたの前に出て、あなたの存在の快適さを感じられるように、私の罪のためにあなたの息子を死なせてくださったことに、私はとても感謝しています。私は、あなたが私と共にいてくださるので、私は一人ではないことを知っています。私はあなたを完全に、阻害されることなく愛したいのです。あなたのようになり、あなたが人を愛するように、私も人を愛するように教えてください。あなたの愛は本当に尽きることがなく、栄光に満ちています。 アーメン

In-N-Out from A DANGEROUS STAGE

Source: tumblr.com via Camy on Pinterest In-N-Out, one of my fav burger joints, makes an appearance in the first chapter of A Dangerous Stage . It's a chain on the West Coast and Hawaii, I'm not sure how far east they have restaurants. They don't freeze any of their food, it's all fresh, including the buns and the french fries. When you order, you can see them use this french fry hand-crank machine to make their fries, it's pretty cool. The specific restaurant in A Dangerous Stage doesn't exist at that location, but there's a couple of them near me and I go there way too often than is good for me, but it's oh-so-yummy!

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

From now until March 11, 2023, Necessary Proof digitally-narrated audiobook is free! Pick up you free copy and let me know how the audiobook sounds.

Quiz from Lady Wynwood's Spies #6 - question 4

The latest volume in my Christian Regency epic serial novel just released, so I thought I’d post a few of my favorite passages from Lady Wynwood’s Spies, volume 6: Martyr . The laughter died as abruptly as it had started. “Don’t worry, you’ll be suffering even more soon.” The muscles in Jack’s neck drew taut, and he bared his teeth at Michael. “In fact, I want to see you all suffer.” “Why?” Michael asked. “Because you wronged me simply by being born,” he said, spit flying from between his gritted teeth. “And I want you to feel my pain.” QUIZ: Where are Michael and Jack in this scene, in the gentleman’s club or Stapytton House? EXTRA CREDIT: When did Michael first see Jack (in the flesh) without his makeup? I actually wrote this scene back when I was still outlining the entire series, before I’d finished book 2—I stuck the lines of dialogue in my outlining notes. I was just waiting to be able to put them in the book. Start the series with Lady Wynwood’s Spies, volume 1: A

Toilet seat cover

Captain’s Log, Supplemental Update August 2008: I wrote up the pattern for this with "improvements"! Here's the link to my No Cold Bums toilet seat cover ! Okay, remember a few days ago I was complaining about the cold toilet seat in my bathroom? Well, I decided to knit a seat cover. Not a lid cover, but a seat cover. I went online and couldn’t find anything for the seat, just one pattern for the lid by Feminitz.com . However, I took her pattern for the inside edge of the lid cover and modified it to make a seat cover. Here it is! It’s really ugly stitch-wise because originally I made it too small and had to extend it a couple inches on each side. I figured I’d be the one staring at it, so who cared if the extension wasn’t perfectly invisible? I used acrylic yarn since, well, that’s what I had, and also because it’s easy to wash. I’ll probably have to wash this cover every week or so, but it’s easy to take off—I made ties which you can see near the back of the seat. And

ひとり寿司第３５章パート２

「ひとり寿司」をブログに連載します！ ひとり寿司 寿司シリーズの第一作 キャミー・タング 西島美幸 訳 スポーツ狂のレックス・坂井 —— いとこのマリコが数ヶ月後に結婚することにより、「いとこの中で一番年上の独身女性」という内輪の肩書を「勝ち取る」ことについては、あまり気にしていない。コントロールフリークの祖母を無視するのは容易だ —— しかし、祖母は最終通告を出した —— マリコの結婚式までにデート相手を見つけなければ、無慈悲な祖母は、レックスがコーチをしている女子バレーボールチームへの資金供給を切ると言う。 ダグアウトにいる選手全員とデートに出かけるほど絶望的なわけではない。レックスは、バイブルスタディで読んだ「エペソの手紙」をもとに「最高の男性」の条件の厳しいリストを作った。バレーボールではいつも勝つ —— ゲームを有利に進めれば、必ず成功するはずだ。 そのとき兄は、クリスチャンではなく、アスリートでもなく、一見何の魅力もないエイデンを彼女に引き合わせる。 エイデンは、クリスチャンではないという理由で離れていったトリッシュという女の子から受けた痛手から立ち直ろうとしている。そして、レックスが（１）彼に全く興味がないこと、（２）クリスチャンであること、（３）トリッシュのいとこであることを知る。あの狂った家族とまた付き合うのはごめんだ。まして、偽善的なクリスチャンの女の子など、お断り。彼はマゾヒストじゃない。 レックスは時間がなくなってきた。いくら頑張っても、いい人は現れない。それに、どこへ行ってもエイデンに遭遇する。あのリストはどんどん長くなっていくばかり —— 過去に掲載済みのストーリーのリンクはこちらです。 *** ＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊ レックスは、携帯のフリップを開けた「ヘーイ、リチャード」 「どうだった？」 「何がよ」冷蔵庫がブンブン言う音は数秒やんだ。レックスがバシッと叩くと、また始まった。 「オリバーとのディナーだよ」 「何で知ってるの？」 「あいつが言ってた」 「あなたから聞いたの？ いつから私の恋愛生活に興味が出てきたのよ」 「別に……ちょっと興味があっただけ」 レックスはお尻に手を当て、リチャードの純粋ぶった顔を想像しながら、冷蔵庫をじっと見た。「今まで『

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
