Sunday Prayer

Captain's Log, Stardate 03.05.2006

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. 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.

Name above all names, we praise you.

Father, please comfort the grieving and give them the peace that only you can cover them with.

Give Christina the strength and guidance she needs as she finishes her time in Japan serving you. Thank you for her servant's heart.

Please be with Heather as she works through the things you spoke to her about. Give her courage and trust, and thank you for her desire to love you more.

Help Pammer overcome her fear, and thank you for how you've led her so far. Please continue to blanket her with your presence.

I pray for healing for Squirl's hip. Please give her and her doctors wisdom about what to do.

Keep your hedge of protection around the orphanages in India, Lord.

Continue to lead and guide Robin in her writing career.

Help Ronie as she prepares for the move, and be with her in the midst of all these changes.

Help Dineen to finish her projects and keep her focus on you, Lord.

Help Ron to balance his work, family, and writing projet ideas.

I pray for healing for Mir and energy to do what she needs to this week. Give her (and me) discipline in her writing and her health.

Give Sharon all that she needs to finish her manuscript. I pray for rest and peace on her body.

I pray that Lori's surgery goes smoothly and that recovery is also a piece of cake.

Please continue to heal Amber.

Lead Gina H. to the right editor, and continue to guide her writing to bring you glory.

Help Crystal know your will for her writing direction.

Lord, please provide for Paula and her family. Please motivate their clients to pay outstanding invoices.

Help Megan at her new job, and help her to make time for her writing.

Please help Malia to find favor with the insurance company so that they will pay for the treatments that have been helping her. Please heal her by your mighty power, Lord.

I pray for your hand over Darlene's friend's daughter, that she will find true rest and healing in you.

Energize Donna as she works to finish her book in the coming weeks.

Hover over Heather G. and help her to know you more.

Thank you for this new direction in Mok's life--I pray for your blessing and wisdom to rest on her.

Please continue to help Gail to heal smoothly, and I pray you will help Brenda's chemo treatments to go well. Please ease her discomfort, Lord, and I pray for healing for her body.

Give your comfort and peace to Margaret's friend, diagnosed with bone cancer.

Continue to help Donna C. as she recovers from heart stent surgery. Please patch up her tired body.

Continue to give RagamuffinDiva your guidance, peace, and power.

I lift up Angie--give her strength and energy, Father. Take any stress away and continue to help her remain smoke-free. I pray for complete healing for Pattie.

Continue to help Audra as she cares for her new baby. Thank you for this new life.

Help Lynette to write for you, especially as she works on new projects.

Lay your hand on all the projects LaShaunda sends out.

I pray you will help Tiff to craft her submissions and that they will find favor with the publisher who requested them.

Help Tina hear soon about her manuscript.

Continue to give Mary C. a great sense of humor and I pray for favor for her proposal in committee.

Give Missy peace, strength, and guidance. Provide for her family and help her to trust you wherever you lead her.

Keep your hand over Mariah's life and help her to find her way to you, Lord.

Give Dream your strength, power, and calm. Help her to continue to walk with you in joy and good humor.

I pray for Sigrun's sister-in-law's parents, that they will come to know you.

Please continue to help Zola's chemo go smoothly.

For my friends married to non-believers, grant them your wisdom this week.

I lift up your persecuted church, Father, and ask for your favor on them.

Please continue to help me to heal smoothly from surgery. Give me discipline in all these areas of my life, and help me to continue to persevere for you, Lord.

All will see how great is our God. Amen.

Bible in 90 Days: Day 53. God asked a LOT from poor Ezekiel. But he did it all without complaining, and I can't imagine how terrified he must have been by all these visions of the Lord's glory. The most profound image for me was the Lord's presence leaving the temple in Jerusalem. How astounding and humbling that Christ would enter the temple years later--the presence of God returned--and no one would recognize him.

Writing: Got a lot of great plot points done yesterday. The story's taking shape with more colors than it had before.

Diet: Did not so great yesterday--maybe 1600 or 1700--although I did stop eating around 9:20 pm (only 20 minutes late). I had a LOT of Greek food for lunch, but we're going for a walk this afternoon and I'll have vegetable soup for dinner.

I really appreciate the prayers. Amber Faith Elizabeth is a real sweetie pie, but we've been struggling with figuring out what I'm eating that makes her tummy cramp so bad. I need wisdom. :) Plus, my healing is going much slower than I'd like...patience was never my thing. :)

Thanks again for the prayers...it means a lot to know someone is praying.

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 ...

I’m done

Captain’s Log, Stardate 05.17.2006 Blog book giveaway: My Thursday book giveaway is THE PREACHER’S DAUGHER by Lyn Cote My Monday book giveaway is BLIND DATES CAN BE MURDER by Mindy Starns Clark . You can still enter both giveaways. Just post a comment on each of those blog posts. On Thursday, I'll draw the winner for THE PREACHER’S DAUGHTER and post the title for another book I'm giving away. Stay tuned. I’m done. At the beginning of the year, I made a goal of three books this year. That’s four months per book. I started this manuscript January 15th. I finished in the wee hours of May 17th, so it took me about four months, a day and a few hours. Yay me. I’m going to bed now. Yes, this is the espresso maker on the right, and a professional coffee grinder on the left. By the espresso maker, I mean the one I promised to my long-suffering husband if I got a book contract, as a reward for letting me quit my biotech job and write full-time.

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 ...

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...

ICRS Tuesday

Captain's Log, Stardate 07.11.2007 I started the day with a great meeting with Al Hsu , an editor at InterVarsity Press. We discussed Asian Americans—fiction, non-fiction, the church, family. He’s been in publishing for many years and is very wise. We had a great discussion. I also met his wife Ellen, who’s totally nice and is also into card-making! I wandered the floor and happened to meet Robin Jones Gunn. She asked if I’d eaten yet, and since I hadn’t, said to join her for lunch. On the way to lunch, we met Mark Mynheir, and he gave me a copy of his book, got The Void . Isn’t that cool? Robin has so much wisdom. I loved having lunch with her. She gave me such good advice, both professionally and spiritually. I hope I’ll get a chance to have lunch or dinner with her at the ACFW conference in September. I met up with agent Steve Laube, and walked with him to his next meeting, but on the way we were hailed by Cec Murphy and agent Jeff Dunn. Jeff had been the first editor to request...
