Sunday Prayer

Captain's Log, Stardate 03.30.2008

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 all you do for us.

I pray for complete healing for Malia, Helen, Kristy, Colleen, and Sharon.

I lift up Case and his family to you.

Be with Kristin, who just lost her Grandmother.

Be with Anonymous’s Masters program decision. Thank you for giving so many opportunities, but please give clear direction about where you want Anonymous to go. Please give comfort and assurance of your hand over everything.

Please heal my hip, and thank you for all you’ve done to heal it so far. Please also help me to finish all the things that need to be done. Please provide for our family financially. Guide my life, open and close doors, and lead me into what you want me to do.

Amen.

Camy, would you pray for my two sons who are going thru struggles with alcohol and life in general?
I would also like prayers for my husband who has heart disease and diabetes and has a hard time with it. Lastly, I need a prayer for myself that my faith stays strong as we go through our daily struggles in life.

God Bless You,
Sandra

Hi Camy,

I am new to your blog but saw the prayer request link and had to post a comment. I have a friend who was in a car accident almost 5 weeks ago. He is a 25 year old newlywed. We have clearly seen God work miracles in his life already. He is (finally, praise God!) taking breaths on his own with only help with pressure from his ventilator. However, they are beginning to wean him off of his pain medication as well as starting physical therapy. They are also planning to move him to a long term care facility so that he will be able to receive more physical and occupational therapy. Again, I stress that we have seen miracles in this situation and he and his family have never wavered in their faith. Please pray that in this transitional time that Neil's lungs will continue to heal, his broken leg will begin to heal and that the Lord will continue to bless him with the strength and patience that he will need to get through this. Also, a prayer for the family to remain strong in Christ. If you would like to read about Neil, you can visit his blog (his mother and sister are keeping all of us up to date this way!) at http://neilgrantham.blogspot.com.

Thanks so much!

Hi Camy,

I was recently tested for HIV and am still waiting for the results. Since I have been waiting, I have felt myself overcome with fear. I have been praying daily that I am healthy and my results will come back negative. If you could please keep me in your prayers, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you!

Camy (and anyone else reading!)

I ask for prayer for my pastor, Dick. He suffered a minor heart attack a few years ago and, thanks to bypass surgery, has been in wonderful health since. Lately, he's been having a few health issues and will be having tests this week to see what exactly is going on. I will be praying for him daily until he lets us know the results of the tests. Thank you for adding your prayers to mine and thank you so much for everything you do.

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...

Captivating, chapter 3

Captain’s Log, Stardate 06.30.2006 Blog book giveaway: My Monday book giveaway is CONSIDER LILY by Anne Dayton and May Vanderbilt. My Thursday book giveaway is LOVE ONLINE by Kristin Billerbeck and Nancy Toback . You can still enter both giveaways. Just post a comment on each of those blog posts. On Thursday, I'll draw the winner for CONSIDER LILY and post the title for another book I'm giving away. Stay tuned. Haunted by a Question: Sorry, this is really long again. As before, some things I liked and some questions. Eve—What Happened? The authors say: “[Eve] brought strength to the world, but not a striving, sharp-edged strength. She was inviting, alluring, captivating.” I don’t know if I buy that. I don’t know if I really see how being inviting, alluring, or captivating is a strength. I understand how restfulness (restful inner beauty?) can be a strength, or solidity like a rock. To me, that’s strength. But being alluring? Captivating? Then they talk about “Why do so few wom...

"Sincerely" by TRUE (from Violet Evergarden)

I’ve been watching the anime Violet Evergarden on Netflix and it is possibly the most beautiful anime series I’ve ever seen. The animation by Kyoto Animation is top notch, the storyline (based on the light novel series ヴァイオレット・エヴァーガーデン by Kana Akatsuki (暁佳奈)) is emotional and unique, and the original soundtrack by Evan Call is out of this world. The vocal songs in the series are also really beautiful, but the best one is the opening song, “Sincerely” by TRUE. She not only has a beautiful voice, but the melody and lyrics are absolutely gorgeous. I can’t rave about this song enough. 知らない言葉を　覚えていくたびおもかげのなか　手を伸ばすの Each time unknown words come to mind, I reach my hand toward the traces they leave. だけど一人では　分からない言葉もあるのかもしれない But there may be words That I can’t comprehend all alone. さよならは　苦くてアイシテルは　遠いにおいがした例えようのない　この想いはとても怖くて　だけど　とても愛おしくて “Goodbye” is so bitter, While “I love you” carries a far-off scent. This incomparable feeling Is so very frightening… bu...
