But, Hl gladly tell the world that most of my wrongs were because I was
a single, widow mom that had kids. A mom with four kids of my own and
lot of other peoples kids, I raised. I stole, sold, and bought; all was for my
children. Now that my kids are all grown up, none of those things matter
today, for God being my witness, I can proudly say (that) those were my
falls. But when I learned the “Word” it taught my that (we) means every
human being falls and comes short of the Glory of God. I knew that one
day rd get it right by repenting, asking (God) for forgiveness and keep on
living, not being the same, doing the same, but living different (honest),
that was a big step for me. Being real and not counterfeit, that’s me and
the pleasure in it is not caring if the world cares or not. (God cares) that’s
all that matters to me.
Hitting the bottom was (Hell). Job, that’s one of my blessed brothers
to read about, he taught me how to be a blessing to get a blessing. Naomi
was a blessing by being in this world. Jesus said, “Lillie Price pick up your
mat and walk”. My life is crowned for Jesus. I am not ashamed nor afraid.
While you’re laughing. I dare you to try my Jesus, don’t give up -Try Jesus!
He won’t let you down. He’ll do just what He said!
Don't Give Up. I Dare You,
Lillie Price

"CawY Give Up Now” |
I will never give up (life). I sometimes sit in a deep a
thought about this thing called life. There’s so much I
Tve seen, so much I’ve heard, so much Fve done, so |
much I don’t quite understand, but in everything 11
ever said or done Fve always, even in the mist of my I
wrongs or rights, Fve depended on Jesus. I know I
I had the strength to endure the courage to take I
each day as it comes and the faith to know that 11
wasn’t alone. Giving up means to not care; I know I
Tve done things in my life that Fm not proud of. -
