About Tawana
MY STORY
"Tawana" writes and performs songs that have a unique way of sharing with others the struggles, victories, celebrations, praises, and just a "normal" day in various chapters of her life. Like a good book, with God's hand-turning the pages, she invites her audience to take a look at life through her eyes. Attending one of "Tawana's" concerts is more of an experience rather than just another show. Her music & lyrics go straight to the heart. She then, allows God to take over from there. Whether it's a secular event, a Christian music venue or bible based church, "Tawana" shares her faith woven within the context of her songs. This is well received by her audience which often leads to common ground and ministry.

Through the pages of her journey, God has blessed "Tawana" for her desire to honor him through her life and music ministry. The past two years, she was nominated for the Momentum Awards (Indep. Christian Artist Award) in 3 categories: Contemporary Artist of the Year, Song of the Year (2006-Living Water & 2007-Dancin' On The Clouds), and Female Vocalist of The Year. She released her first music project "Just Sing!" in November '2007 that she had produced in Nashville, TN. Due to this step of faith, God has given "Tawana" favor in having her music reach more people by means of traditional and internet radio. Shortly, after the release of her project, 88.1 FM in Kansas picked her song "Keep Christ In Christmas" as the #1 Christmas Song of 2007. In 2008, several radio stations in the U.S. aired this song as well as other songs from her "Just Sing!" project. Also, due to radio promotion efforts by "Christian Artists Int'l", "Tawana" received her first international airplay at an AM station in "Guam", an FM station in "The Netherlands" as well as other radio stations around the world (See Airplay page). "Tawana" is thankful that God is opening doors to reach more people through radio in her own neighborhood as well as around the world (Matt. 28:18 & 19).

In relation to partnerships, "Tawana" is an Artist Affiliate CovenantEyes.com which is endorsed by "Focus On The Family". She is excited about joining forces with this ministry to help others who may struggle with internet related addictions, or may just want to have internet integrity/responsibility in their home or workplace.

"Tawana's" desire is to allow God to use her to help others through the music he's given her. She strives to honor God with her talents and life as she continues through the pages of this journey that he's chosen for her.



"Tawana" is available for church and "family friendly" community concerts and special events in her local area as well as out of state. Also, "Tawana" is open to sharing her ministry outside of the U.S. too. She can also assist with being an M.C. for your event coupled with sharing her music. For booking inquires, please contact her at: Bookingtja@yahoo.com.

Thanks for adding me to your circle of friends, Tawana! That is so cool! Yeah, it is a small world. I just sang and led worship for the ladies' Church of God conference last month.... a very sweet and fun group of ladies! Give me a shout out if you're ever passing through Finday and maybe we can meet for coffee or lunch or something. It's always great to meet other Christians in our occupation. =D Stay encouraged, and go out and glorify Him, girl!

If you're looking for unique reading material for children, check out my latest book "Abby the Sheep"! It's the Nativity story told through the eyes of the animals. I also have my historical fiction series entitled The Land Of... Series for those who enjoy early Americana and the Wild West. Autographed copies are available through my artist myspace or shoutlife pages, so stop by and check out my books and music.

Now Available!!!

May this year be full of joy and peace for you and your family. Remember to keep your eyes on the prize, Jesus Christ, and may the Lord bless you in all you do.

Rise up and be God's,

Hello my beloved friend! Just wanted to stop by and remind you that you are a treasure, an exquisite jewel, in the crown of God, our Father!

SENDING LOVE Pictures, Images and Photos

This is Sunday let us celebrate God and His goodness! Let heaven and earth hear us as we boldly proclaim Him Lord and King! Let us Praise Him with joy filled hearts! After all it is He who supplies all of our needs according to the distinct and definite measure of His riches in glory! Let hell stand in silence as you lift up the name of the One who has taken all of your troubles upon Himself. As you praise Him give Him your burdens and receive His gift of the abundant life which He purchased with His own life's blood.

Isa 53:3 He is despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.
Isa 53:4 Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted.
Isa 53:5 But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.
1Pe 2:24 who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness?by whose stripes you were healed.
2Co 4:7 However, we possess this precious treasure [the divine Light of the Gospel] in [frail, human] vessels of earth, that the grandeur and exceeding greatness of the power may be shown to be from God and not from ourselves.

Have a wonderful Thursday as you drink deeply from the river of our precious Father's grace!

OUT OF THE DARKNESS INTO THE LIGHT
River of Life Fantasy Pictures, Images and Photos

There is a river of life flowing! See Revelations 22:1. Giving and preserving life to those who drink. Are you approaching it with a tanker, a barrel, a bucket, or a spoon?! Wouldn't it be great if all God's people would just dive in and fully go with the flow of life that is stored up for and awaiting us in Christ? No nibbling around the edges of the bread of life but completely consuming the spiritual nourishment of our redemption? See John 6:3, 48. Our father has not only delivered us out of the kingdom of darkness, He has brought us forth into the kingdom of His eternal sovereignty! And in this awesome place where He has designed us to be, His knowledge and wisdom is made available to us. He has determined that we in the likeness of Himself may be observable instruments of His holiness. God has purposed that through us, He will implement His goodness throughout the whole earth. However, this is a voluntary position not an automatic one. He will never force our participation. Forced labor is not His aim. He wants a fully functioning family who will cooperate with Him in His mission of loving a lost and desperate people from a life of destruction and defeat, into one of abundance in all the facets of life! He wants our trust! This He must have in order to be able to display Himself through us. He wants us to relax and enjoy the fullness of His Spirit as well as minister its benefits to others! He also wants us to know that the world will not love us! It will hate us just as surely as it hated Jesus. They will try to trap, reticule and persecute us in order to stop us from bring forth on this earth that for which we have been created and commissioned to do by way of God's Spirit. He has brought us into His kingdom by the blood of the Lamb and genuineness of our faith. Faith which He has given to us and expects us to use until it becomes greater and greater in measure. In other words He desires us to grow up in Him so completely that the world will see that we are here as representative of the supernatural function of His divine kingdom in an earthly natural world. See Romans 12:3; Ephesians 4:15; Matthew 13:31-32. We are vessels through whom His Spirit is meant to flow freely. We have been anointed and the Spirit of the Lord is upon us as it was upon Jesus. 1 John 4:17 tells us: Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the Day of Judgment because as He (Jesus) is so are we in this world. Therefore, as the Spirit of the Lord was upon Jesus, He is now upon us. "The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord." Luke 18-19. See also Mark 16:15-18. It is now our turn to shine in the likeness of our Lord, as He shined in the likeness of the Father. Copyright © Sylvia F.Liani 2009

It is the word of God that illuminates your life according to 1Pe 2:9 which tells us, "You are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light." May all of your days be bathed in the enlightenment of His love!

Hugs and Prayers

Have a blessed weekend.God bless.


Matthew 18:18-20
Truly I tell you, whatever you forbid and declare to be improper and unlawful on earth must be what is already forbidden in heaven, and whatever you permit and declare proper and lawful on earth must be what is already permitted in heaven.
Again I tell you, if two of you on earth agree (harmonize together, make a symphony together) about whatever [anything and everything] they may ask, it will come to pass and be done for them by My Father in heaven.
For wherever two or three are gathered (drawn together as My followers) in (into) My name, there I AM in the midst of them. [Exod. 3:14.]
