Sunday Prayer

Captain’s Log, Stardate 03.18.2007

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 e-mail me. If I forgot your prayer request, e-mail me. Not to be mean or anything, but if you don't e-mail me or comment to update your prayer request, I'm only going to pray ONE Sunday.

I’m trying something new with my Sunday Prayer. I’m really bad about doing it on Sunday, so I’ll be updating it during the week.

Dear Lord Jesus,

Thank you that Squirl’s hard drive wasn’t too bad and Geek Squad could recover all her files, and thank you that they’re actually fixing the laptop, too.

Please help Missy’s friend have a positive attitude and outlook, and I pray the spots on his liver are benign. I also pray the surgery will go very well.

Be with Jennifer T. and her family. Help the house rebuilding go quickly and smoothly. Let everything go well with the insurance company. Give her and her family peace and comfort during this time.

Be with Jane O.’s family. Comfort them and surround them with your presence.

Help Ronie with the changes happening in her life. Help her to stay strong and supple in the storm. Give her your strength and resilience and love. Help her boys do well in school and help the teachers better respond to their needs.

Please be with Sharon S. and her family right now. Give them your comfort and strength.

I lift up Dana and her husband, and pray you’ll provide speaking opportunities for them to build up their team and support.

I lift up Ruth’s cat Salty and pray you’ll ease her suffering, whether by healing or taking her. Please give Ruth wisdom and please spare her the pain of having to put her down.

I lift up Wendy’s computer. Please help the computer techs be able to retrieve ALL her files without problems and with minimum cost.

Give Kristin’s fingers speed to finish her book in the next week. Help the moving in proceed smoothly and without stress or hassle. Help her book develop as you want it to.

Hi Camy!

How sweet you are to pray for people you've never actually met. :)

My husband and I are missionaries with Wycliffe Bible Translators. We plan to leave for Tanzania, East Africa in late July. We are currently raising the financial support to go. My prayer request is for speaking opportunities where we can present our ministry and invite people to partner with us in this venture and for God to build our team of both prayer and financial partners.

Thanks so much!

BTW - the cover of your book - the Sushi one... It's so vibrant - it makes me want to get the book NOW. :)

Hi Camy,
Thanks for posting about your prayer list...boy did I need to read that this morning. I am really torn up inside...one of my precious cats, Salty, is off her food in a major way. She eats just little bits at a time, only when really coaxed. But she's drinking and still very alert. I am just heartbroken over seeing her look so frail. Please pray for wisdom, for me and an potential treatment, and also God's mercy. My heart-prayer is that if this is her time, He'll just take her in her sleep and I won't have to make the call to have her put down.
Thank you so much!
Ruth

Lena’s Diamond Shawl – A Free Knitting Pattern from a Regency Spy Novel

In my book, Lady Wynwood’s Spies, Volume 7: Spinster , my heroine Lena is recovering from sickness and uses her favorite shawl to keep warm. 🧵 Click here to download the FREE PDF of the pattern. Here’s the short excerpt from the book that mentions the shawl: 📖 Excerpt from Lady Wynwood’s Spies, Volume 7: Spinster Lena still felt a chill as she sat in the sunlight streaming through the window of the Viponds’ drawing room. She was swathed in her favorite lace shawl, a gift from Melinda, who had knit it in Lena’s favorite color, red, along with cream and pink stripes. Tabitha finished pouring the tea and handed her a cup. Lena tried to smile as she took it, but her face felt stiff, like hardened clay. She was an utter failure. Despite all her training as an agent, she’d been undone by a malicious woman and a locked balcony in the rain. Had she given up too quickly? She’d been deterred by the railing, believing it would have broken under her weight. She had also been shivering t...

Writing Goals for 2007

Captain’s Log, Supplemental I considered cheating on my goals for this year, but decided I was being a wimp. So here they are: Here are the goals required by my contract: Book 3 in the series marketing info sheet due March 15th Book 3 manuscript due June 1st Book 1 substantive/line edits due sometime in Jan/Feb Book 1 galleys due sometime after that Book 2 macro edits due sometime in Spring? Book 2 substantive/line edits due, I’m guessing in Summer. Book 3 macro edits due sometime in October, I’m guessing Dang, laid out like that, looks like I’ll be busy. Here are my personal writing goals: Long-term goals: --Complete two manuscripts and a novella by December 31st, 2007 (I have to write the two manuscripts, but I’m trying to push myself and write a third project. I chose a novella since it’s easier than a full novel.) Short-term goals: --Write a short story this year (I keep putting it off because I’m such a perfectionist about it! I think I’ve got to get just the right plot, etc. bef...

Curious about what my writing is like? Here’s a list of all my free books and the free short stories, novellas, and novels that you can read here on my blog. I’ll update this post as I add more free reads.

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...

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...
