WREADING WEDNESDAY – FEATURED BOOK EXCERPT – THE TILTING LEAVES OF AUTUMN
#WreadingWednedsay is now dedicated to ‘wreading’ bits and excerpts from my books! Today I give you a bit to introduce you to Scarlett.
[image error] * note: not the final cover.
“You’ve changed.” Simone leveled her accusation as a statement of fact.
Still I burred up, even though I had thought the exact same thing about Mercedes just days ago. She was right, though, I had changed.
“Simone, I’m only going along with Mercedes.” She and I walked along the boardwalk toward Versailles. I snugged my wool coat tighter, already the buttons not meeting over my middle. “I’ve not forgotten who I am—or my place.”
She nodded and I thought I detected a muted harrumph.
“Truly, Simone. This won’t last, it can’t.”
We walked in silence.
“What of you? Have you recovered more of your memory?”
“Some, yes.” Simone peered into the dense trees and I wondered what memories the Chicora village held.
“Did you ever go there?” I tried to contain my anxiety over the thought. I had always been frightened by the thought of Indians although I couldn’t say why.
“I had a friend there, Elizabeth.”
“Elizabeth?”
She explained that missionaries had come and many natives had taken Christian names.
Silence shrugged about us like the damp from the marsh.
“Shall we go there now?”
Simone looked at me as if my senses had taken their leave of me. “To the village?” She said the word almost reverently.
“Is there some reason we shouldn’t?” We were at the place where the boardwalk branched off toward the village. I wondered now that there would be such a clear path if the very existence was supposed to be secret.
And still Simone hesitated, but joined me after some moments.
“Are you afraid?”
“Afraid?” She let out a hoot of laughter. “Why should I be afraid?”
“If you don’t want to go…”
“Don’t be silly.” And she skipped on ahead just as she had done when we were girls.
We entered what seemed to me to be a large hut. But it was long and seemed to serve more than one purpose. Simone approached an elderly gentleman, dressed in native regalia and seated on a low cushioned bench, and I presumed him to be the chief. There were mats on the dirt floor in front of him and Simone lowered herself to one; I followed her lead.
She spoke with the man, surprising me with her knowledge of their language. I leaned to her to ask what she had said but thought better of it.
The man spoke and nodded at me, and Simone spoke my name. He nodded again and reached his hand to me. I looked to Simone, and she nodded as well.
“He is Chief Winyah.” The chief’s eyes smiled as she spoke to me. “It is an ancestral name. All chiefs of their clan have had this name.”
His hands were ruddy colored, leathery and wrinkled, and I wondered how old he was. He smiled at me, his dark eyes alight with joy and warmth.
He spoke again to Simone, and she answered, then asked me, “Why have you come?”
My furrowed brow must have entertained him because he laughed then. I cut my eyes to Simone.
“We came…” Then I realized Simone had not drawn me here but it had been my insistence that drew her here. “I wanted to see…” But I knew it was more than that. More even, than recovering Simone’s memories.
“I don’t know,” I finally said. “I’m not sure.”
Simone translated, and Chief Winyah took a long draw on his pipe, his eyes never leaving mine. He spoke again.
“He says you seek answers.”
I wanted to feel relief because of course I was seeking answers. Answers for Simone. But he didn’t mean for Simone. He meant for me and I knew it.
And he was right.

TUESDAY REVIEWS-DAY – BOOK REVIEW – FINDING LOVE by TONI SHILOH
Accepting the unacceptable, consenting to that which was a deal breaker, loving what was deemed off limits.
When a young Army widow finds herself falling for another man in uniform she fights it til she can fight it to more. But can Delaney Jones, truly give her heart to Luke Robinson?
Luke is on a mission, a mission of repentance and restitution. He never meant to fall for the widow of his former buddy in arms. Will he choose a life with her? Or will he return to his life in service? Or, is there middle ground for them, accepting the past and looking to the future? Can they trust the hand of God in the midst of their burdens?
Ms. Shiloh does not disappoint with this story. Intense emotions, real and raw, foil with a love that is just as intense and real and raw. As both Delaney and Luke wager their own personal battles, each must face their own personal demons, and Ms. Shiloh portrays this very well, and very true. No battle is easy, nor is it pretty, and this story exposes the ugly that we each must face before the beauty of victory can emerge.
I purchased this book on Amazon. I offer my review of my own free will, and the opinions expressed in my review are my own honest thoughts and reaction to this book.
[image error]Toni Shiloh is a wife, mom, and Christian fiction writer. Once she understood the powerful saving grace thanks to the love of Christ, she was moved to honor her Savior. She writes to bring Him glory and to learn more about His goodness.
She spends her days hanging out with her husband and their two boys. She is a member of the American Christian Fiction Writers (ACFW) and the president of the ACFW Virginia Chapter.

BLOGWORDS – Sunday 15 October 2017 – FRONT PORCH FELLOWSHIP – THE MASTER POTTER (repost)

FRONT PORCH FELLOWSHIP – THE MASTER POTTER
This week I borrow a prophetic word I read Friday on Facebook.
THE MASTER POTTER
by Elaine Tavolacci
The Holy Spirit showed me a lump of clay on a potter’s wheel. The potter began to spin the wheel as he molded and shaped the piece of clay as he formed it.
When making pottery on a potter’s wheel, the clay has to first be centered, then water is applied before the potter begins his creation. The potter then shapes the clay into the image that he desires. There are different wheels used to create different vessels. The Lord has designed each one of us in a distinct way with a specific calling. Each person is created for a unique purpose and plan.
The Lord told Jeremiah to go down to the Potters house to give him a prophetic illustration. When he went, he had seen the potter making something at the wheel. The clay vessel that the potter had made was marred in his hands; so he made it again into another vessel, as it seemed good to the potter to make.
Many people don’t understand the process of the potter’s wheel. The potter’s wheel is not to judge us or punish us, but it is to form us into the masterpiece that Jesus has created us to be.
The Lord says; just as the potter designs each clay pot into different shapes and sizes, I have designed and created every individual. Every person has been born with a unique purpose and plan. Each of you have been strategically designed for a particular purpose, and I will work with each of you in a specific way.
Do not fear the potter’s wheel and do not refuse it, for this is My workmanship. This is the place where I am molding you and conforming you into My image. This is the place where all impurities and defilement will be destroyed and all bruises and blemishes will be erased.
This is the place where the rough edges will be smooth out, broken vessels will be restored and old mindsets will be dismantled. Afflictions, traumas and misfortunes from the past will be removed, and dreams will be birth and brought forth.
This is the place where your mind will be renewed and you will learn to walk in integrity and maturity. This place is necessary for your spiritual growth to bring forth the gifts that I have placed on the inside of you.
Do not refuse the work on the potters wheel but allow Me to transform you as I shape your life and destiny. Trust Me when the process seems too difficult. Don’t say that this is an uncomfortable place, but know that it is for your benefit and it is necessary to bring you in to the fulfillment of My plans. Do not resist the work that I am doing on the inside of you, but allow Me to accomplish My perfect will through you.
Allow Me to work with you and fashion you into My image. I Am the master potter and as you allow Me, I will design your life so that you will become all that I have created you to be. You will become a glorious vessel of honor, and others will see the brilliance of the transformed life that I am creating in you. I desire to make something beautiful out of your life as you allow Me to work in you and through you says the Lord.

1000 was my goal and I made it if just barely! Am also marketing The Long Shadows of Summer AND editing The Tilting Leaves of Autumn for release in November AND researching for The Whispering Winds of Spring which comes out in May and wraps up the series!
