to my funny friend who always has a question for everything ...

reason why i chose the name lilybride is because during my first trip to israel in 2002, the lord renamed me lily... then of course it didnt mean a thing to me, except that i somewhat remembered that the year before, someone had prophecised song of songs 2:1,2 over me when i was in canada.

in 2003/2004 when the lord started giving me language to this bridal journey, it dawn on me why i was renamed lily ...yup, lily the leaning bride; the flower whose stem is so long hence she cannot stand on her own but has to lean on her lover. lily, the flower which has 50 bulbs but they are all underground cos her fruitfulness is kept hidden so that only jesus her bridegroom will get the credit ... so to answer your question why lilybride, i guess when jesus created me, he desired that i would be his lily bride. guess even before i was in my mother's womb, he had already destined sos 8 over me. yes, i believe the day will come when people would say who is this coming out of the wilderness, leaning on her beloved ... that when they see me, they will see only jesus. so i guess with this, i must embrace my wilderness seasons, and i must go into the refiner's fire
