Sunday Prayer

Captain's Log, Stardate 10.14.2007

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, 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 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 Father,

Thank you for another day with you.

I pray for complete healing for Bruce, Doug, Malia, and Tony.

Please help Cheryl’s proposal be accepted. Guide her to the right agent at the right time.

I pray for justice for Case.

I lift up SMH’s family. Please give her husband wisdom and guidance as he considers another church, and help the family to support whatever he decides. I pray that his decision will be what’s best for them all.

Please be with Melissa’s mom and heal her completely. Bless her doctors with wisdom and compassion, and help her not suffer too much from nicotine withdrawal. Help everything go smoothly for her.

Be with Gretchen, and I pray she can go home quickly. I lift up her health to you.

Please be with Glynna as she talks to her boss. Give her peace and strength. I pray he’ll be receptive and you’ll allow things to move forward quickly and smoothly to improve the work environment.

Give Missy wisdom about this mentoring opportunity. Please let her know clearly if this is what you want her to do.

Help me learn your humility. Help me to serve you whole-heartedly.

Amen.

Camy, thanks for the prayer. Can you please include my family in your prayers? My DH is a pastor ans is considering going to another church. It's a very hard decision to make, for a number of reasons I won't list.

Please pray that the decision is clear and acceptable to our whole family.

Thanks!

SMH

That's very nice of you, Camy! My mother and I are going to the hospital tomorrow. She's not doing well. She has a UTI/bladder infection among a lot of other things her body has to deal with. She's had the infection since March. She won't be allowed to smoke at the hospital. That will be tough for her. Please pray for her. Thank you so much!

Hi Camy,
I have some medical tests coming up to check out a mass in my lower left abdominal area. They think it's on my ovary, and I'm praying it's benign. Please pray that they get the results in quickly and that it's not cancer.

Love you and your books!

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...

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...

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...

Pink Sunshine Shawl

Captain's Log, Stardate 01.06.2010 While in Arizona, I visited three knitting stores (all I had time and money for, unfortunately!) and bought this gorgeous yarn by Colinette. The model had this silk colorway with a pink mohair, which made it more pink than I wanted because I already have a very pink shawl and while I love pink, I wanted something both dramatic and different from, well, pink. So I paired this mostly pink silk colorway yarn with a greenish yellow mohair to get this gorgeous shawl that looks like pink sunshine! If you’re on Ravelry, you can see my more detailed notes here . Here’s the shawl! Isn’t it pretty? The mohair makes it very light and airy, while the silk gives it beautiful drape. I edged it with gold glass beads.
