Music is essential. I have eclectic tastes and choose my music according to my mood (don't we all!). For absolutely beautiful, anointed, classical music, my top choice is Eric Genuis. Then of course, there's Mozart and Beethoven--a little Bach, here and there...and then the "modern" stuff (in no particular order): Kutless, Barlow Girl, Rebecca St. James, Red, ZOEgirl, and a host of others...there's not enough room here to list them all...I just love music. |
|
I spend my life reading, so to name favourite books would be a never-ending job. Suffice it to say, I love a book that can tear at my emotions--whether it's a romance, mystery, or thriller.

The Lighthouse (2007)
AVAILABLE September 2007 from The Wild Rose Press
DANGEROUS LIAISON...
Rachel is in love with her best friend, but when Malachi doesn't seem interested, she turns to an international stranger whom she meets on the internet. At first, conversation is just a pastime, but soon, romantic fantasies form in her mind. Why not consider a man who travels across an ocean to meet her--a man who makes her feel wanted? After all, Malachi might as well be a world away--even if his concern does seem genuine when he warns her about the intriguing Frenchman.
RESCUE ON THE WAY...
Malachi has sworn not to interfere in Rachel's relationship, but he's in love with the head-strong woman who is determined to continue her budding romance. Yet, Malachi senses something isn't right about the playboy who has suddenly consumed Rachel's time, so he vows to save her from the stranger--and herself--even if it means losing her forever.

The Resurrection of Lady Somerset (2007)
AVAILABLE NOW From The Wild Rose Press
An age-old mystery, a risky assignment,
a marriage devised to suppress a secretÂ…
Ethereal Lark Blackwell has been hidden within Somerset Manor most of her young life. Few guessed her existence. With the death of her mentor comes the command to marry the new Lord Somerset. He is to protect her, to introduce her to Society, and to keep hidden the mystery of her beginnings. Ha! After his shocked tirade and obvious disdain of the arrangement, she would not marry him even if he were the last man on God's green earth.
Jonathon Rexley, Lord Somerset, cannot help falling in love with the mute beauty who talks with her hands. Without this marriage, the estate falls to his wastrel brother, who already seems to have charmed the lady. Gad, but he is torn. Despite his love, the possibility exists that in her fire-blackened past, she could be his half-sister. Marry her, yes. Touch her, never.
THE RESURRECTION OF LADY SOMERSET

Nicola is first and foremost, a Christian. Without Christ, she would be nothing else. Secondly, she is a wife and mother. Finally, she is a lover of books and music, and so had no choice but to create both.
Born in England to an English mother and an American father, Nicola spent much of her childhood outside of the United States. Now she resides in the Southwest, in a 100 year-old house that provides great ambiance for writing and composing.

May the windows of heaven be always open upon you and the light of His glory going before you to show you the way into the depths of His heart my precious friend.
JESUS IS THE LOIN OF JUDAH!
What does that mean to you? Are you following the Lion or listening to the roar of the enemy. Are you chasing the enemy, which is manifesting itself in your life, overpowering it and destroying its ability to destroy you? People who are living by the limitation of the flesh run from the enemy. But people of the spirit take control chase down the adversary and put a stop to his ability to harass and torment them. No matter how slippery the slope you may find yourself on, or the flamboyant manifestations and demonstrations of his weapons, your weapons are for greater. You may have only a mere stick of weakness in your flesh to fight the beast with. But you have the power of the Almighty in your spirit and His authority with which to fill your mouth and overpower the chief of destruction and all of his associates, whom Christ has already defeated. Furthermore, the victory is already yours, take your rightful place in Christ and by your God given authority enforce it. You will love it when you see the enemy fleeing from your very presence because He knows that you know who you are in Christ. And that he has no weapon to strike you with that can succeed against that. You are an offspring of the Lion of Judah let the world hear you roar for the glory of your King. See 2 Samuel 23:20-21.
Have a great and beautiful day!!! The Lamb of God has been slain the lion of Judah is on the throne. Hear Him roar and follow Him in all of His ways.
Victory, love and joy to you, beloved of the Lord!

May your day be filled with gladness and your heart with joy!
HUMILITY!
What is true humility? And why is it so important that we understand it?
To begin with we need to understand that the Greek word for humility is PRAUS, which means STRONG. Humility does not mean shy. Nor does it mean that we must wear clothing which is out of fashion to demonstrate our humbleness. If this was the case every humble man would be wearing a robe as Christ did. It has nothing to do with whether we shave or grow a beard, nor whether our hair is long or short. Lack of wearing makeup or going all natural does not add to our quest for humility. If the house in which you reside needs painting paint it. If new and better ways are discovered that benefit human life use them for the glory of God, who allowed them to be discovered. Instead of allowing satan to destroy us with them for his glory. Being bound by such things keeps us in bondage to the enemy not in a state of humility before our God.
Humility may best be explained as the difference between horses trained by their master for a specific purpose and their wild counterpart. The word PRAUS describes a mighty stallion. That has been trained for battle. This stallion has been broken from his wild impulsive nature and retrained in the ways of his master for a specific purpose. He retains the entire dynamic for which he was created. That is he still has the energy and, enthusiasm which is inherent in horses, which he has always had, but his sense of purpose has changed. And now he is able to get things done that fulfill the purpose of his master. The difference between a retrained horse and his wild counterpart is that its purpose in life has been brought under the control of His master. Just one slight touch of the rein and a ton of horseflesh submits its will to the will of its master. In this training process the horse's spirit is not broken, but his self-will has been giving up to the will of the master.
As we allow Christ to retrain us to think and act like Him we become bold and certain of our ability to defeat the enemy and accomplish the works that we have been called and chosen to do. Being shy and uncertain of this power active in us is not humility. It is disobedience. Humility enables us to boldly refuse to give in to circumstance and move always according to the word of God and achieve His promised results. Peter and John did this in Acts 3:1-11. Peter in affect was saying I have been broken from the ways of man and retrained in the ways of God. And what I have been trained to do is to give to others (you) the benefits that God has in Christ given me and trained me to give to others in His name. Humility is pure and simple bold obedience to the Master's desires.
Love, prayers and blessing
Sylvia
