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

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 ...

New book idea a la Captain Caffeine

Captain's Log, Stardate 04.14.2009 So my husband, Captain Caffeine, had lunch with a few friends a few days ago. And they asked about my writing, and if I’d been on Oprah yet. (Yeah, right) They then discussed NYT bestselling books, and why can’t Camy write a NYT bestseller. (Sure, let me just open a vein over a blank page and it’ll come right out.) So Captain Caffeine came home with ideas for my new NYT bestselling novel. First it starts with vampires, because Twilight is so hot. But not just any vampires. This one’s an Amish vampire. And he’s not just an Amish vampire, he’s a cop in disguise, infiltrating the Amish community to protect a witness. (Hmm, that storyline sounds familiar ...) But wait! There’s more! To add more conflict and stick with my brand of Asian fiction, we introduce the Tibetan monk! Who joins the Amish community to get away from the pressures of monkhood. But in reality, he’s protecting the Chinese princess on the run, trying to escape from her father’s Hong...

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...

I sold to Steeple Hill!

Captain's Log, Supplemental Remember that romantic suspense proposal I blogged about earlier? Well, it just sold to Steeple Hill’s Love Inspired Suspense line! I am so jazzed! I am beyond jazzed! The story’s working title is Sinister Spa The story's title is Deadly Intent and here’s a blurb (but it’s probably not what will appear on the back of the book): Massage therapist Naomi Grant could use a massage herself. With her father at home recovering from a stroke, Naomi is put in charge of the family’s elite day spa in Sonoma county. The new responsibilities sit awkwardly on her shoulders, and things only get worse when handsome Dr. Devon Knightley breezes into the spa, demanding to see one of the female clients. And the woman is found dead in Naomi’s massage room. Suddenly, Naomi is a suspect and her family’s spa is shut down. How could God let this awful thing happen? Devon only needed to see his ex-wife about a family necklace she still hadn’t returned, but when she dies and...

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...
