Sunday Prayer

Captain's Log, Stardate 01.13.2008

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 Lord, thank you for another day.

I pray for complete healing for Bruce, Doug, Malia, Helen, Kelli, Kristy.

I lift up Case and his family to you.

I lift up Christa to you, and her unspoken prayer request concerning her writing. Please be with her, give her the wisdom she needs, and continue to lift her up.

I lift up Elysa and her kids and their Swaziland trip. Please heal her kids and help Elysa to stay calm and focused and trusting you to take care of everything.

I pray for healing for Tami. Please give her and her doctors wisdom about what is wrong and how to treat it. Give her peace and help her family continue to love and support her.

Please give justice to Elysa's friend. I pray for everything to turn out as you desire it to, and I ask for peace over everyone involved.

Please help me with the work I have to do, and please continue to give me discipline in my life.

Amen.

Hi Camy!

Still seeking your prayers for our upcoming trip to Swaziland with Children's HopeChest. Looks like my 2nd daughter (who is scheduled to go with us on the trip) is now breaking out with chicken pox. Pray that she'll be healed up soon so she can go with us. I know that God is bigger than chicken pox and if He wants my girls to go, then they will go!

My oldest daughter has not had spots though for several days last week she had all the achy, tiredness, etc. that is associated with chicken pox.

I also ask that you pray that I won't fReAk OuT but will TRUST my loving Father.

Thanks so much,
Elysa Mac

Hi Camy,
I am asking for prayer regarding an ongoing health issue. I have been struggling for a long time to get a diagnosis and a solution. What hurts the worst is the affect that this has on my young daughters as they try to understand why mommy doesn't feel good. I don't even know what to ask for, but I know I need God's help.

Thanks for your prayers!

Another prayer request, Camy. Please pray for someone close to me. This person is a hardworking, very honest business owner who has been falsely accused of illegal business practices. This situation has been going on for over a year and it is about to destroy them physically. They are meeting with authorities today. Please pray that the truth will prevail and this situation will finally be put to rest. But most of all, pray that all of this is used for my loved one's good and God's glory.

Thanks so much,
Elysa

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...

Free Christian Romantic Suspense Novels by Camy Tang / Camille Elliot

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. Christian Romantic Suspense: Necessary Proof (Sonoma series #4.1, novella) Click here to buy the FREE ebook on all retailers Alex Villa became a Christian in prison, and because of his efforts to help stop a gang producing meth in Sonoma, he has been set up for the death of a cop.

Fantasy short stories: Pixies in a Garden in Kyoto There were pixies in the garden.

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...

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...
