About Lily the Pink

Lily the Pink has learnt the hard way what it is like to be trapped in difficult circumstances. She knew God and had tried to follow His ways of doing things in the Bible for many years but somehow things just got worse and worse. In the end she screamed at God to get her unstuck so that she could serve Him better Nothing seemed to change at first. However some things were starting to happen behind the scenes.

Looking back the first noticeable change was starting to do some voluntary work that has been useful experience and has helped shaped her ideas of what Lily the Pink Ministries CIC should be doing. One thing that was happening behind the scenes was that friends, both male and female were encouraging her husband to divorce her. He had been talking about it for 20 years so it was a shock when he actually did something about it.

Looking back it is strange that this happened after she asked God to change her life in the way that He wanted it to change. She had been asking Him to change it the way that she wanted it to change and that had not had any effect. Once she allowed Him to do things His way she was moved out of the circumstances that left her trapped and unable to do what she wanted to do. With the divorce came the loss of many dreams. One being the dream of working with her husband to do what God wanted her to do. He chose to go his own way rather than go with her. She moved out of what she had thought would be a good home to develop such a work into a new home. Amazingly the divorce negotations led to her having a date to move out and on that date someone came round to offer her a new temporary home. Nearly a year later when it became obvious that she needed to find a permanent home she was told about a house that was up for sale at a social event. When she looked at it she found that it was perfect for her needs and she was able to move in very quickly. She lost one home that she thought would be a good one for what she wanted to do but God provided first a temporary home and then a permanent home at the exactly the right times.

Looking back each time He helped prepare her for the move and then made it happen for her. Now she is in a much better place to do what she feels God is calling her to do.  God has allowed her to learn a lot of things the hard way. Experience that has proved useful when helping other people. She knows what it is like living through hard times her heart is to do all she can to support others facing problems, and help them find a way out into a better future. Hence the desire to build up Lily the Pink Ministries CIC.
