Watch Your Life Bloom

Welcome to the Official Blog of Author Dr. Lily L. Ratliff Jenkins, of the inspirational Memoir, The Life of a Lily: Growing in His Strength, Blooming in His Love, and many other writings.

Thanks for coming by to sit awhile and reflecting along with me on everything biblical. On this blog, feel free to share your thoughts and feelings about the various topics I present. They all do come from the heart and are meant for us to ponder, be enlightened, laugh, cry, and ultimately give God all of the praise.

You will hopefully find resources on everything from writing tips to creating your own memoir, how to journal, becoming better Christians and how to walk in your callings, destinies, and witty inventions that we have deep inside of us but sometimes don't quite know how to tap into and walk in. But GOD! It is in his wisdom along with an open mind that we will get through this together. Amen! So I welcome you my brothers and sisters!

From inside a teenager's heart...

It is with great honor that I get to share this with you today because it comes from inside a teenager's heart. One heart that happens to be within the confines of the high school in which I teach. It's good to know we have caring children this day and age that really makes your heart smile. This video that you are about to see is about one of our seniors (Raven Johnson) who has a life-threatening disease that could have taken her out years ago. But she's a fighter and also God's very own. I cried when first seeing this video, one because it happened with one of our kids, but also because it shows the testament of God's divine love for His own. He will use people for His glory to bring about change, restoration, and his greatest gift--His love. I won't tell you the details of the video, or even the circumstance regarding her illness (I'll leave that for you to see). However, I will say, please remember not only this story, but this young lady because it will indeed warm your heart. It makes me praise God even more. Our complaints of what we don't have should cease knowing that if God never did another thing, He has done enough! We have life, health, and strength, and we should give God all the glory for it!

Be blessed!
