How do I donate towards Lily's Toyota? I am already a member. God paired the two of you to keep those of us already wide eyed, sane in this warped time we live in. Thanks to both of you for all the hours you put into your investigating and writing.

Willing to help out as well...

God has brought Lily into your life for the same reason that He brought Lily’s grandmother into her life. He wants you to see the fruit and experience the truth of truly knowing and trusting Him. You do not need to become frustrated and use obscenity’s to express your anguish, internal and external. You have recognized her value, she is precious beyond what we deserve. He brought her into your life to help you “still the demons”. He has a plan. He knows the outcome. He told us, and He showed us, it would not be easy. Our faith in Him is more important, to us and Him, than our intellect. (“and lean not unto thine own understanding”). I am not “preaching” to you, or anybody. I’m describing a path I am called to walk, and failing at miserably. Set the stake, and stretch the cord.

so do we call you the Wise Wolf Cub. The best advice I've heard in a very long time and great journalism. Concise and to the point! And so much more effective than saying "you need the word of God" An encouraging light in a very dark world. 💖💗❤️🤓

It gives me hope to realize young people like you. Lord Jesus give this soldier a car. You are the God of the impossible. You make a way when there is no way and you go before us.Amen

This is a beautifully written and incredibly timely piece, Lily. Your grandmother gave you an invaluable gift—not just her Bible, but a lens of truth through which to see the world. It takes real courage to stand firm in your convictions, especially in an environment where conformity is demanded. Keep writing, keep questioning, and continue sharing your perspective. We need more young journalists with your clarity and anchor.

Ps…..going to contribute for a yearly plan on 5/20, I promise.

Kudos to your grandma Lily! You turned into such a wise young woman with a promising future in this life or the next. I love your writing!

This may be one of the most brilliant (*and* beautiful) pieces you have ever written. You are truly bearing good fruit with your gift— even before you have your own kids with whom to practice. I love you for this, but more importantly, the Lord appreciates and will reward you. The hearts of your children will be fertile ground for embracing wisdom and the love of God, because they will have been sown with His Word, and with His values. The engraving of holy scripture upon their hearts will cause them to be the people they were created to be. 🩵🩵😇😇🩵🩵

Lily is a far better person than I ever could be.

Lily is truly a lovely person, and we should all be grateful for the gift she is to the world. You are gracious to show such appreciation for her. 🩵

Please remember, though: "There is none good; no, not one" Rom. 3:10

Any righteousness that any one of us can claim is due to the sheer grace of God covering us by the sacrifice of His Son. Any glory we have is in Christ alone. You are as valued and loved as every other person created in the image of G-d.

Here's how indescribably valuable you are: If you were the only one on Earth-- or if every other person here was already saved before He came-- He would still have suffered and died just for you. 😇

From the mind of William "Bill" Cooper:

"Whether people believe in God or not, if they don’t understand that freedom and liberty must be creator endowed — then we are opening the door for somebody to take it away from us — because they don’t have to answer to a creator! Otherwise put, our country had darn well better get back to believing in God if we want to stay free!

If we want to stay free, we have to believe in God — and not the God of the Deists or Freemasonry.

There must be something that human beings answer to, in order to protect us from ourselves, because the minute we become God..."

Well, what do you see happening on the world’s stage? What is Yuval Noah Harari saying on stage? “We will become like God’s”, right? Crazy! There it is, right there. Right on the world’s stage. It’s happening. Again.

"She was vaccinating me." Good Lord that was powerful and gave me chills throughout my body. I'll take that vaccination any day!

Because of you, this beautifully written article, and the simple fact that God is truth, I'm going to start "vaccinating" my children with the word of God. Thank you for this!

The Wolf and Lily, the Two Witnesses. Lifting you up to the T of G.

Diabolical disorientation is the zeitgeist, Lily ... spiritual warfare and psychological warfare dialed to 11. But Big T Truth and little t truth shine like stars against that dark backdrop.

The Wolf and you are on the right track, and making a difference. Keep it up

My grandmother read the Bible to me as well, what a blessing to have a foundation built on rock rather than sand! Keep up the fight for our Savior Jesus He is the only way to peace and He is our Justice. Amen I pray you can buy the Toyota!

Superb article. I enjoyed this. I am a Gma trying to do the same in this difficult world. Battle, sadly against the dark Harry Potter. These young adults have no idea what they are doing to their children. Thanks for your wise words. Must get them from a wise wolf💜. The training…

Lily, I love and appreciate you sweetheart, Thankyou for keeping the Faith, this gives me hope for your generation. It's so true that God's promises offer more Hope than anything secular ever could. I read the NA literature this morning and felt condemned and like I was defective and then I read my JESUS CALLING devotional and felt Loved, Cherished and Encouraged. The Holy Spirit told me that I can stop feeling guilty that I no longer want to go to those meetings because My Creator and Jesus offer me more validation, Peace & Encouragement than anything secular ever could. I just know that your car is on the way to you!!!

Amen! Before I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior, NA and AA were my church. I was firmly agnostic. I wanted nothing to do with God, and I proudly considered myself Wiccan.

I could never get past Step Three: "Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him." -- though I truly did want and crave that spiritual experience.

And then it happened. And I did!

I'm coming up on 8 years clean and sober in just a few days. Praise the Lord! I give Him all the glory.

God led me to AA and AA led me to God!

God bless you, Christine.

Beautiful story. Lily definitely has remarkable talent for writing thoughtful and meaningful articles. Hope she is saving her posts to look back on when she is an outstanding and honored scribe. Sent this to all family members for their enjoyment and thought processes.

Amy's avatar

Wow! Excellent words. I am praying you get your car and WW gets his teeth out. Your grandmother's prayers to Our Heavenly Father have been answered, how awesome that the Bible was retained in your mind as a young girl even when you were distracted, God's Word was planted and it is guiding you through this chaotic time we live in.

My grandmother left me a Bible too. An Old KJV Catholic version. Even had the extra books in it like Judith, Maccabees and Wisdom. It stayed on my nightstand for a while. It had a bookmark in it. When friends fail you turn here, when grieving turn here, when afraid turn here, etc. Well one night I became afraid. I had to sleep with the lights on as I was seeing things. Evil things. I remembered the Bible and the bookmark. When afraid turn to Psalm 27. I read it out loud. Wow, everything changed from that day on. In the most amazing ways. The spoken Word of God is POWERFUL.

Psalm 27 The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

2 When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.

3 Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.

4 One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple.

5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.

6 And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the Lord.

7 Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.

8 When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, Lord, will I seek.

9 Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.

10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take me up.

11 Teach me thy way, O Lord, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.

12 Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.

13 I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.

14 Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.
