Dear Solveig

“I am writing you to thank you for your latest CD, "Surrender". It has ministered to my husband Jim and I more that I can say. God was doing a major healing in both of us, and He used your CD to do it. (Our beautiful, sweet and godly 15 year old daughter suddenly became ill and died.) I played it for a month straight (it was probably more than that, God told me to). Your CD was the only music that I listened to, and I had it on all of my waking hours. (I wasn't working at the time).

Every one of your songs minister to me. God gives me them in the night, sometimes it will be one or the other of your songs, but He gives me each one, and each one carries his love and power. All I can say is thank you so very much for your sacrifice and your love of the Lord that comes through on that CD. It is a sweet savor of love. HE COMES THROUGH ON IT! I just can't explain it. I guess if I had to pick a favorite, it might be "Streams in the Desert", But then again, when God is using a particular song to minister to me, it shines the brightest. All I can say is, it has paid off to listen to it, because God has healed my broken heart. I am healed! "Surrender" works!

God used some other CD's to minister to me for a while, but for the past two weeks, guess what, it is "Surrender" again. I have it on constantly, even when I have teaching tapes or videos on. It so blesses me. He is doing something powerful right now, instead of healing He is propelling me forth into my calling, and "Surrender" is anointed to do that. It is so exciting.

We watched a little baby for an evening, and it was cranky and needed to sleep. I played "Surrender" in the background, and when it stopped, the baby woke up. (I hadn't put it on again because I thought it might wake up the baby with the opening song). Jim said put back on, so I did, and the baby went right back to sleep. This baby was very different while your CD was on, usually not that peaceful. It had been adopted, and it's womb experiences had been difficult. You and God ministered to it.

That's all. I just felt God lay it on my heart to put into words how you have blessed me. I know that He blessed me through you, but you were obedient. I thank Him, but I thank you too.”
