Sunday Prayer

Captain's Log, Stardate 03.19.2006

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.

Thank you, Lord, for another day to worship you.

Father, please comfort all those who are grieving with the incomprehensible comfort only you can give.

Continue to be with Christina as she prepares to come home from her missions trip.

I pray you will provide Heather with more clients, Lord.

Help Pammer continue to work for you and work through her fears.

Please heal Squirl's hip, and give wisdom to everyone involved so she can be free from pain. Thank you for her recent contest finals and also for the request for her manuscript. Please help her do revisions quickly.

I pray you will lead Robin’s writing to the right editor.

Help Ronie’s move go smoothly and safely.

Thank you for bringing Dineen back safely and help her get back into the rhythm of things.

Help Lori’s surgery go smoothly, and I pray for a quick recovery.

Keep your hand over Gina H.’s projects, and be the one leading and guiding her career.

Give Paula your peace, and I pray their clients paid their overdue invoices.

Help Megan at her job to work for you, and help her to set aside time for her writing.

I pray for healing for Malia and that everything with the insurance will turn out well.

Give Donna energy and strength as she finishes her manuscript.

Be with Mok in her new job and help her to perform well.

Keep your hand over RagamuffinDiva.

I lift up Angie to you and pray you will continue to hold her and help her. Please heal Pattie.

I pray for smooth and quick recovery for Tiff’s mom.

Please help Tina, Mary C., Julie, Pam, and Ruthy (SAYSFers, did I miss anyone?)hear back quickly about their manuscripts.

Please help Myra’s house be sold quickly and smoothly. Help Tina move smoothly.

I lift up Missy’s father. Thank you for a clear scan, and I pray you keep him in good health.

Continue to lead and guide Mariah.

Give Dream peace this week.

Father, please be with Synner and her grammy. I pray the transition to assisted living is smooth for everyone.

Comfort Tiff and her family during this difficult time. I pray for healing for her mother.

Please give Linda peace amidst all the losses and family illnesses causing stress. I pray for healing for her grandson's heart and wisdom for the doctors. Please also comfort her daughter and the rest of the family as only you can.

I lift up Eileen and her mother. Please give them both rest.

Lord, only you can solve Sigrun’s complicated family problems. Please help her to hear you, what you want her to do or not do. Please help her to rest in you, that you are taking care of her and the situation.

I pray Rose’s daughter’s biopsy went well, and I pray it wasn’t cancerous. Grant peace and blessings to the family.

Please continue to help Zola heal. Help the chemotherapy go well.

Give strength to my friends married to non-believers this week.

Continue to strengthen your persecuted church.

Please continue to help me heal from surgery. Give me discipline in my writing, eating and exercise. Please also give me wisdom on how to adjust my chair so my back isn’t so sore.

How great is our God. Amen.

God moving: The pastor had a good question for the youth group last night—where did you see God moving in your life this week? A lot of times, I think we forget to look for him.

I’ve been hearing him speak to me through my Bible in 90 Days. It’s so great to read his word this way.

What a blessing to know you are praying. Some of our clients have payed, PTL! Please pray specifically that the one who owes us $2000 will quit playing with us and be faithful to his commitment. Thanks.

Also, please pray for my emotional strength and that God would lead my writing journey and show me how to be the mom my kids need. Blessings on you, Camy.

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 ...

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...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
