Shadows of the Past (2005)
Amber is dissatisfied...

Though modeling brings her fame and fortune, it also steals her privacy and freedom?and made her a stalker's prey. Amber is intent on burying the past while building a future as a writer.


Jay Wilder is comfortable...


As Jay finally realizes his dream of teaching theology, now is not the time for finding love; it is the least of his concerns.
However, when he meets Amber he is drawn to her like no woman he has ever known. He finds himself pursuing her even as he tries to distance himself from her.


But all is not safe in paradise...




Amber's dreams are coming true. Her career has taken off, her relationship with Jay is blossoming, but her storybook ending is not to be. The stalker resurfaces and she finds
herself running for her life. She fears this will separate her from Jay forever. Then again, perhaps it will draw her closer to God.

Hot Chocolate (2004)
After Cocoa Tanner's husband is murdered, she moves from Chicago to Grand Rapids, Michigan to be nearher family. Determined to rely only on herself, and not on God, Cocoa is finally starting to make her dreams come true. The grand opening of her coffee

shop, Common Ground, arrives and business is even better than expected. Now she'll be able to provide for herself and her three-year-old daughter Brianna.

Bill James lost his wife and twins in a car accident. The only way Bill can cope with his grief is by immersing himself completely in his career. He has turned away from God and is growing more distant from the sole surviving member of his family, his three-year-old daughter Ashley. But from the second Bill steps into Common Ground, he finds himself enamored with its bubbly owner. At Cocoa's invitation he even finds himself back in church, a place he never thought he'd be.

A series of frightening events soon proves that someone is watching Cocoa's every move. When she disappears, Bill finds himself helpless, unable to do anything but pray. Bill's renewed faith is put to the test and may or may not be strong enough to survive losing another love. And Cocoa must discover if it's possible to trust God, even with her life.

Hello there my friend! I hope you are enjoying a beautiful day and that your life is filled with love, peace and joy!

PRAYER WARRIOR

Are you walking in love, dressed and ready for battle? Have you forgiven those who have offended you? Do you love your enemies and your neighbor as yourself? Are you esteeming others more highly than yourself? Are these things that you think about each day in order to incorporate them into your life? If this is true then you are well equipped to pray.

What do you expect when you go to prayer? Do you have the same faith and confidence that Christ had when He prayed? You can. God expects us to. Our Father wants the same communion with you and me that He had with Jesus. Do you understand that the blazing fire of Holy Spirit power to overcome evil God opposing powers is ignited when you pray? Romans 8:26, 27 Jude 20. Your power in prayer is based not on how you feel but on the word of God. Prayer is not merely giving God a list of your needs and desires only. It's a relationship and a way of life. In communion and love with the Father much is accomplished for His kingdom and your life is enhanced with the manifestation of all of His promises. Jesus prayed that the Father would make us one with the Father in the same way that He is one with Him. (See John 17:21-22) This should be our very highest priority in life and in prayer. If this is the state of our being then we can ask what we will as Jesus did and it will be done for us just as readily as it was for Jesus.

I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them and you will have them. Mark 11:24. (You will have them if your heart is one with His, God's promises are conditional on this all important stipulation.) Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him. 1 John 15:14-15.

A beautiful Sunday to you. May your prayer life be filled with excitement and anticipation at the certainty of God's promises? May you never be shaken from your faith in Him to perform all that is contained in His word in your life.

Love, blessings and prayers
Sylvia
