Awesome God - Michael W. Smith - Viewing God's Creation from Genesis



Today concludes a year long study of the first book of The Holy Bible - Genesis taught each Sunday since last summer by my Pastor Greg.  As you view the video and listen to the words recognize the awesome power of God in creation.

Praise God for the life He provides you today, no matter what.  God truly is  in control and I am not.  Praise His Holy, Holy, Holy Name as you and I worship today. I look forward to any comment you choose to provide on this Sunday's Song post today below.

July 15th Scripture Meditation/Memory

Psalm 28:7 (NIV)

The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trust in him, and I am helped.  My heart leaps  for joy and I will give thanks to him in song.

I must remember that steadfast strength comes from the LORD.  So many opportunities for learning surround me, however, I am comforted when  realize it is THE LORD who gives me the strength to persevere and accomplish what He has purposed in me. When these accomplishments are completed the joy of the LORD often comes out in song.  Praise God from whom all blessings flow.

Music and song have always blessed me richly as I seek to know my Heavenly Father.

This scriptures memory in Psalms 28:7 is a Song I Must Sing. PTL

Happy Birthday to My First Born - Victoria Lesa

July 12, 1972, I was pregnant with Les and my first child. The baby was two weeks late.  Les had to force my swollen feet into my shoes for the last month or so.  I was so tired of family and friends calling to see if I had delivered our baby yet. I was so ready to see my feet again and get back into regular clothes.  This was Wednesday, I think my regular doctor day. This day my blood pressure had begun to rise and the only way the doctor said to eliminate that was to deliver the baby and to report to the hospital at 6 a.m. the next morning.

Thursday, July 13, 1972,  As Les and I were driving from Garland, TX over to St. Paul's hospital in Dallas near Love Field, I was excited and yet very scared not really knowing exactly what to expect that my experience would be in "delivering a baby" even with the lamaze class. I just thought about all the incredible pain and war stories I had heard from my friends and others.  At that point if there was any way I could have gotten out of delivering this baby to avoid the pain I would have done it in a New York minute. However, I was also excited to finally discover what it was like to hold my baby. Yes, this would fulfill another one of my life long dreams. After I met the man of my dreams and married. I desparately wanted a big family.  I loved children and I wanted my own.

I was blessed to only experience hour and half of hard labor before Victoria Lesa announced her arrival in this world with that beautiful cry. At the time I didn't know that the doctors and nurses knew what the gender of the baby was according to the heart beat and blood pressure as during labor. Dr. Nabors commented as we moved from the labor room on to delivery that the last boy had been delivered so this would have to be a girl. And yes it was my precious Victoria who changed Les and my life forever on that day.  We are so blessed to have the privilege our first born daughter.

Today, my first born is a beautiful wife to Brandon and mother to 7 year old son, Micah and 5 year old daughter, Lauren . I am so thankful for God's Grace and Mercy as he grew Les and my family beginning with Victoria who changed my life forever in such a wonderful way.



This is a Song of Love I must Sing Happy Birthday to Victoria Lesa a.k.a. Vicki who by her self and through her own family has brought tremendous joy to my world.  Happy Birthday!
Love, Mom

Ann Voskamp - The Rest of God

Today on Holy Experience, Ann Voskamp discusses how it feels to be bone tired. 

I don't know about you but there are days when I am and have been bone tired.  I especially remember that feeling while Les and our two girls were growing up at home.  And even today in my life I can feel bone tired. Not every day, but there are those days; those days when I try to accomplish too much and end up more than exhausted.

The way in which Ann writes inspires me.  Click on the link below and experience for yourself.  Be blessed as you listen to the soothing music and the words that describe her day and she is bone tired.  This is Wednesday, July 7th.  I remember those days she describes in my own world.

As I follow her blog I was uplifted today enough to make the time to share this with you, my blog community.  She encourages me on my journey in discovering the many ways of The Rest of God.

Maybe you can relate in someway.  I look forward to reading your comments below.  This is a  song I must sing.  Sylvia

July 3-5, 2010 Let Freedom Ring Weekend




Today is Saturday the beginning of July4th Freedom Weekend 2010. I am so thankful for the founding fathers of America who created this nation, The United States of America on Christian prinicples. You understand it is only through Christ and His death on the cross for my sins over 2000 years ago that any of us have REAL Freedom. Freedom is not free there is always a price to pay.

I praise my Heavenly Father that in His abundant grace and mercy, He chose for me to be born in America and grow up in this nation. Be blessed as you view the youtube video of several years ago.

Praise God for the freedom each of us experience today. Do not take this freedom for granted, someone paid a price for my freedom. Now, I must do what God calls me to do in preserving and protecting the freedoms I have come so dearly to love.

July 1 - Scripture Meditation and or Memory

2 Corinthians 9:8 (NIV)
And God is able to make all grace abound to you,
so that in all things at all times,
having all that you need,
you will abound in every good work.


This is a verse I need to meditate and memorize yesterday. Please understand God is all about exhibiting His Grace, Mercy and Peace to and through those who Love and Believe He is who the Holy Bible says He is.

This year, 2010 is now half over...where did it go? For me, a large part of 2010 God has set me apart that I may KNOW more of who HE is and can be for me, Sylvia.

Just last week God made a way when there did not seem a way for me to be able to accurately re evaluate an issue God, my Heavenly Father brought to my life this past January. I am so thankful for God's Amazing Grace in my life.

I look for your thoughts or scripture in my comment section of this post. Thank you in advance for your comments. This is a Song I Must Sing.
