- What You Need to Know About Me:
- Lily L. Ratliff is a writer, educator, entrepreneur and speaker. Lily is the debut author of the Christian autobiography, The Life of a Lily. Once being the product of the adoption system, God turned what the devil deemed as nothing into a mover and shaker that He could use for the Kingdom!
Lily has taught elementary through high school English and Reading for eleven years. She has served in many ministry capacities, from singing in her local church choir, to teaching Sunday school and reading enrichment for the youth in the community. She also owns and operates "Everything That's Lily, LLC,” an online book and inspirational jewelry business.
Her first work of fiction, "All is Not Lost" will be featured as a short story in the Christian anthology, After You’ve Done All You Can to be released December 2008. She is currently working on a children's book series entitled "The Last Shall Be First” in which two of the six books will be released December 16, 2008. Lily is also a dynamic inspirational speaker who has been sought after by churches, writing circles, schools, and community organizations to motivate, encourage, and inspire today's youth & young adults.
Lily resides in Lithonia, Georgia, with her daughter, Asia Denise.

Not Only Forgiving, But FORGETTING!
“There is no revenge so complete as forgiveness.” -Josh Billings
Someone you love so dearly has done the unthinkable to you. In all the years that you have known and possibly grown up with her, you would never think that this person you’ve called your best friend, would treat you this way. To your surprise, you find that you have been talked about, and even scorned for something so trivial and meaningless, but not to the point that it didn’t affect you when you realized who it came from. Just w… Continue

There is Hope...In the Midst of the Storm!
What a refreshing anointing I felt today as I listened intently to the message of the day! This morning I went to visit Greater Saint Stephens Full Gospel Baptist Church where Pastor Debra Morton preached on “Oh the Glory-Be Not Weary!” Hallelujah Lord! My God, My God!
She used the scripture reference: Galatians 6:9 which reads: “And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” When you get the chance study these scriptures for greater understanding: I C… Continue
