Sunday Prayer

Captain's Log, Stardate 02.26.2006

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.

If you don’t see yourself and you want to, email me or leave a comment. 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.

Lord, thank you for your glory in the whole earth.

Lord, I lift up friends and acquaintances who have lost their spouses this month. Cover them with your powerful hand, comfort them as only you can, in all your love, and let them feel your presence.

Father, give Christina courage and strength as she finishes her last weeks in Japan. Thank you for how you've used her for your glory. Continue to be leading her so that she can serve you as a strong woman of God.

Thank you for being with Heather this weekend at the retreat. Open her heart to your voice. You know that she only desires to be obedient to whatever you want to do in her, through her.

Protect Pammer from the spiritual warfare working against her self-esteem and her writing. Help her to listen instead to you voice and your word.

Give Squirl and her doctors wisdom about what to do with her hip. I pray for complete healing for her.

Father, I lift up the orphanages in India to you. Please protect them physically and spiritually from the attacks, and cover each of those children and workers with your mighty hand.

Father, guide Robin in what you'd like her to do. Keep your hand over each of her submissions and let it fall into the right hands.

Be with Ronie as she prepares to move. Help her to trust you in all things, and feel your incomprehensible peace.

Work through Dineen as she finishes her projects. Help her to write for you alone.

Please heal Mir from her persistent pains and aches. I pray for healing for her, Lord, and peace in her heart. Help her with her writing this week and her health discipline (me too, Lord!).

I lift up Lori to you and pray for a good surgery and smooth recovery.

Continue to heal Amber by your might and power.

Give Gina H. and her agent wisdom about her projects and her writing. I pray you will help her to find the right editor in the right house.

Help Crystal to know your will, and give her assurance of your love and power.

Continue to help Paula to keep her eyes on you. Be with her in her writing, the waiting, her family, and all the other church and social things in her life. Help her to continue to walk toward you, Lord.

Continue to help Megan at her new job. Give her wisdom. Help her in her writing, to lift it up to you.

Grant the healing that only you can give to Darlene's friend's daughter.

Refresh Donna, and give her strength as she finishes her book in the coming weeks.

Help Donna C. as she recovers from heart stent surgery. Help her recovery to progress smoothly, without complications or pain.

Continue to cover RagamuffinDiva with your sheltering hand.

I lift up Angie to you, especially as her job becomes busier. Thank you for her sense of humor. Heal her body, Lord, and help her continue to be smoke-free. I pray for healing for Pattie and a quiet spirit.

Thank you for Audra's smooth delivery! Give her strength and energy as she cares for her new baby girl, and keep her in good health.

Continue to guide Lynette on her new projects. Be with her as she writes, and help her to lift her writing all to you.

Guide LaShaunda about where to send her projects, and be with her as she waits.

I pray for Tiff's submissions, and pray they are fruitful. Help her with her job, and to find time for all she wants to do.

I pray Tina will hear soon about her manuscript. Thank you for the opportunity for her, Lord.

Help Mary C. as she waits on the committee's decision on her book. I won't say the P-word, but please give her strength and peace, Lord.

Give Missy your peace and strength. Help her decide about going back to work or not, and help her no matter where you tell her to go.

Cover Mariah with your love and peace, Lord. Make straight paths for her feet.

Continue to provide for Dream and keep your hand over her. Give her discernment and power and peace. Lord, she is your child and you are all she needs. Protect her and comfort her, calm her and strengthen her.

Please be with Sigrun's sister-in-law's parents. They really need you, especially now. You've kept watch over them. Please comfort them now--heal them, if that's your will--but mostly please give them an awareness of you and how much they need you.

I pray for healing for Zola, in Jesus' name

For my friends married to non-believers, Lord please give them hope this week.

Father, cover your persecuted church with your grace.

Thank you that my surgery recovery has been good so far. Please continue to help me heal smoothly. Please give me grace and strength for my discipline in my writing, eating, and exercise.

Our Redeemer, whose name is the Lord of Heaven's Armies, is the Holy One of Israel.

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

Narrow Escape contest for January!

I’m so excited because my January Love Inspired Suspense, Narrow Escape , is now available! Here’s the back cover blurb: KIDNAPPED IN BROAD DAYLIGHT Arissa Tiong and her three-year-old niece are snatched off the street by members of a notorious drug gang. Having lost her police officer brother to a drug bust gone bad, Arissa knows the danger she's in. But she has no idea why they want her. Desperate to protect the little girl, Arissa escapes and runs straight to Nathan Fischer. She knows the handsome, weary former narcotics cop hasn't told her everything about the night that ended her brother's life and Nathan's career. But he's all that stands between her and dangerous thugs who are after something she doesn't even know she has. This is the 4th book in my Sonoma series , but each book is stand-alone. The hero is Nathan Fischer, who had a minor role in the 3rd book, Stalker in the Shadows . To celebrate, I’m giving away 10 copies of Narrow Escape ! Her

Keriah’s Pyrennees Shawl knitting pattern w/ @knitpicks Palette

Why I knit this shawl: I wanted to knit the sunset-colored shawl Keriah was wearing in chapter 5 of my book, Lady Wynwood’s Spies, volume 2: Berserker , so I looked for an antique pattern that might have been used during the Regency era. This one caught my eye, even though it was published in a knitting book a few decades later than the Regency era. The Spider-Net border pattern was most definitely in use in the Regency period, but it’s also remotely possible that the Alice-Maud stitch and the lacy border stitch patterns were also in use during the Regency, being passed on from knitter to knitter via hand-written receipts, by verbal instruction, or with knitted sampler squares (like how many Shetland lace patterns and Bavarian cable patterns were shared). My/Keriah’s version of this shawl would have been lacy but warm because it is knit with fingering yarn on small needles. Since Keriah was cold, I think she would have grabbed this shawl rather than something more elegant and airy.

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

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

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

I GOT A CONTRACT!

Captain’s Log, Stardate 03.29.2006 I had a wonderfully funny blog post planned for today, but I got sidetracked by some news yesterday! Zondervan has offered me a three-book contract on my Asian chick-lit series ! I’m still stunned by everything that’s happened. The series is actually a 4-book projected Asian chick-lit series about four cousins who fall under the infamous family title "Oldest Single Female Cousin," and their ruthless, wealthy grandma applies pressure on each of them to improve their lack of love interests. I think the first book is tentatively scheduled to be released in August 2007. The blurb on the series is on my website here . Brandilyn Collins posted to the ACFW loop about my writing journey, and Tamara Cooper asked that I share it. And since you all know how much I like to talk , here it is. My writing journey: Like most writers, I have wanted to write since I was very young. (In high school, I wrote a fantasy novel that will never see the light of day
