Oh sorry I remembered something else I saw when you were speaking. ( I'm a seer ) I saw how before we cone to know Jesus how were out there in a really tough desert. Like a no man's land. We don't understand ot at the time but we feel lost. Like were in a place all alone and it's scary. I'm not talking about France but in general. I was also relating this to my life as the Holy Spirit was giving me understanding. As I was watching you he was explaining this to me about my past. I could see my life through what you were sharing.
I saw that it's such a horrible feeling to look back and remember how we felt during these times of aloneness. Especially particularly traumatic times and how we are home now in our rightful place, safe and sound in our heavenly dwelling albeit walking still this side of heaven. We are now at home in daddy's house/ arms. Secure and never again to have to go back there.
Sometimes people wonder why we look back. But sometimes we need to in order to move forward. And again each time we reposition ourself in the now we realise " wow God is so good. I'm so blessed to be known by him and live in his kingdom"
Nothing from our past present or future is wasted now. God has it all cupped in his hands working all things for good. Wow were so blessed to belong.
Amen
if you really want to be closer and more spiritual to God...then first of all stop refering to God as "He or His"...God has no gender...God is beyound such a lowly thing as a male or female gender.
@@greenleaf8226 nah he's my dad :) and we're as close as blood.
No one comes to the FATHER but by JESUS CHRIST!
I have a couple questions, what are oracles normally associated with? What is your definition of a see er?
@@greenleaf8226Abba father.
Hi, Lilly. I have a similar experience with you. I moved to Canada when I was 16 to study English. I wanted to see the world and learn English. I had very nice host family, but I could not communicate well with them. I had severe anxiety and severe depression. Its 25 years ago, now I travel the world and live in Chicago. I enjoy watch your videos; you have a beautiful family. YUko
Omedetou...
Wow, Lilly, I'm halfway through this video and you want to know something crazy?! I also flew out on September 10, 2001 for an exchange program (but in South America). And I actually saw the twin towers from my plane on the runway in Newark and remembered thinking I hadn't known you could see them from there! I arrived late and the first thing that happened when I woke up was my host mother telling me about buildings exploding. It was crazy! Even weirder, is like you, I originated in one of the airports where the hijackers were said to have flown from on September 11-Portland, ME. I also told someone this story very recently (hadn't told it to anyone in years). What a crazy coincidence! God bless you!
French people are very blunt and brutally honest. I would have been fighting with everybody the whole time if I was there. I studied abroad in Denmark and they are the nicest people I’ve ever met and it was the place I’ve felt most comfortable out of everywhere I’ve traveled.
You can find more joyful content about my life in Thailand with my Thai family on my main TH-cam channel -Lillys Life.

Whats your relationship with your French hosts today?
Try not to dwell on your past experiences. Your past experiences have made you the person you are today and given you the wisdom to choose a great husband and a great life and of course your 3 beautiful children. You have a lot to be grateful for which I know you do appreciate
Shes going through a healing process. It's all Holy Spirit. When we open up and when we are real it gives others the courage to open up and be honest with our thoughts and feelings in order to know God is there for us too in our past present and future. God uses everything for his glory ❤
I believe God wants us to try and focus on the good things in our life and encourage positivity
@@jackieanderson4108 yes I believe we worship him in spirit and in truth.
What a fascinating life you’ve led so far. So sorry for the “lows” in your life but you’re such a kind, compassionate, intelligent and strong woman. You’ve probably experienced more in your lifetime already than most ever will. All the best to you and your beautiful family. 🙏
Surely it motivated her and her faith in God plays an important role to who she is now and future
You are a lot deeper than I originally thought. Sometimes you just see the outside and everything looks so put together. It's always nice to find out we are all human. 💚
Thank you so much for sharing. You r stronger than u give yourself credit for. Huge reminder that our past has helped us create the fab people we r today!!🥳 You r awesome Lily!! 🥳🤗💜
Lilly you and I share a very VERY similar past, not just France. I’m happy that you are in such a better place and you are indeed extremely blessed. 🙏🏿❤️🙏🏿
Hi Lilly, that's a rough experience. Thank you for sharing 🙏🏻
All our experiences that don't break us just enhances us becoming beautiful from the inside out
I admire your honesty and strength to process all the negativity,stand above it so you can pour it out....Pouring out this experience helps get rid of all negativity and appreciate the positive lessons learnt in life.I love you,Lilly!I follow both of your channels and Chloe Simone Says.GOD loves you and gave you a wonderful and loving family with beautiful children.Thank you,GOD!Thank you,Jesus!Love and comforting hugs!Stay blessed!❤❤❤
Open & transparent communication, no doubt, you are helping many people in being this way. Stay blessed siStar! And thank you for sharing this. 💥💥💥💥💥💥💝💝💝🙏🙏🙏
So glad God is present in your life Lilly!!! 🙏🙏🙏. May He continue to help you release these past traumatic events by speaking about them. I’m sure you will feel better by working through and releasing the thoughts.
Thank you Lily for sharing your story. I do appreciate your openness,sharing your ups and downs that serve as inspiration to many.
I really love hearing your stories, Lilly!
Thank you Lilly for sharing your story. We all have our own struggles and it helps when you hear someone else's story. Have a nice weekend ❤️❤️❤️🙏
Thank God with all those suffering and hard time you've find peace in your life. In every dark time there is silver lining for every one. You are strong now and have three kids, I'm sure you can prove to be a good mother for them. All my best wishes for you and your family.
I remember as a teen I felt lost too. I didn't know what to do or how to handle things. I must say, someone was watching over me, because I got out of a lot of trauma. I love be older and wiser, happier and safe and have been for many years now. I too drank for a few years when I was younger. I don't drink any more and haven't since I was 21. Bless you for sharing all this. I know you have found better times too and it's quite wonderful coming through hard times and finding good times.
Ty for sharing. Be kind to yourself, we ALL are such knuckleheads in our teenage years. Our 20’s are just as bad with immaturity. Very relatable. The good thing is you had those moments where you fell and had lessons that saved you. It takes a while for some of us. I’d say most of us aren’t mature enough in life until our mid 30’s and older. I know for me my teens and20’s were messy, my 30’s was a time of lessons and reflections until about 38 is when I truly felt like a new, solid woman. And still I’m still learning and shaping myself thru faith and wisdom and self reflection, it’s a life long process. It’s not all trauma I’d say, it’s just life. And I’m pretty much of your moms mindset to learn, and move on. I truly believe in letting go of the past, closing those chapters in our lives and seeing them as lessons that you HAD to go through in your journey, But never dwelling on them. Luv u sistah
Experiences I’d say.
Your narrative was compellingand since I was born and raised in France I was very interested in your story because a lot of Americans criticize their experience in France for some reason. You however gave a moving account of your experience pointing out that you also had some great times but I think that’s probably because of you Being able to see the good in people and in experiences. Thank you for your storytelling and your faith in humanity and coming away with Seeing the good
Sorry you’ve been thru a lot and you turned out a super great person. Usually when you gone thru low point in life you always will make the best in life from there forward. Cherish what you have now God will continue to help you when you ask him. You are blessed in every way. Thank you
it seems to me you are forever complaining. Yet you live like a princess, travelling to Europe, staying in France and Italy in expensive hotels with your family; you are very spoilt and immature. You are lucky to have such a kind husband and a baby sitter who is devoted to you and takes care of your children while you are travelling. And to have parents who indulge you in everything you want. Stop complaining when there are so many people who can't make both ends meet and have barely enough money to buy food, let alone travelling all the time as you do.
This is so interesting! I remember you briefly speaking on this topic in earlier vids. So glad you elaborated on this intricate detail of your story. 🙌🏽
Your mother is your shining star.
Your honesty is so compelling.
Thanks for share your story lily 🙏😀
Lilly, I appreciate your candidness and openness in sharing all aspects of your life. Life certainly has its ups and downs. It seems like you have found your way. You have a lovely family and have discovered what works for you. You’ve had diverse life experiences and seen much of the world. And your faith sustains and grounds you. I really enjoy following your you tube posts. Keep up the good work.
P.S.-you have a wonderful mom as well as you are a wonderful mom.
wow! i love hearing more about your life Ms. Lily.
Thank you for your praise reports, Lilly!! I'm grateful you were able to share with us and flood the light and hope of God into our lives. Blessings to you and your family always.
Lilly you are amazing so many struggles in your families life and how wonderful you your mom, Marcie and Chloe have changed your turbulent lives and can now make sense of it all. I was angry for so long over my childhood it took me till my 40s to let go with counselling and god, l realised l wasted so much time on being angry now l have a loving relationship with my parents. Thanks for your vlogs l love your adventures but I really love your talks.
Great testimony, Lilly.
May God bless you/your family/Gigi/George.
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven (Matt. 5:16).
Hi ! Yours is a fascinating story ! Thanks for sharing !
Thank you for sharing your experience! ❤️
Wow What a good testimony ❤ God bless you and I enjoyed watching your videos!
Thank you for telling us your story. You give hope.
Your testimony means a lot to people who you would never think it would touch. My mother was an alcoholic and my father was a severe drinker when he was off the road. They use to tell me when I was in school I thought I was better then everyone else because I wouldn't drink and it was before I was legally allowed. To this day if I am offered alcoholic beverages I generally say no, it's not like I ever had a problem with it but saw what it did to others.
Thank you for sharing your personal story. I love you and all your family.🥰🇨🇦😘
Thank you for sharing, I learned so much from your story. 💗
Unless someone actually experienced a foreign country cultural shock for real, they will never understand. I was 16 when I came to America without speaking English, although I was fluent in 2other languages which helped me transition into English, but that cultural difference became my daily life. at some point a foreigner feels they do not belong here not there.
I adore you and love watching you as a warm and living mother to your 3 beautiful kids. May your life be happy and healthy. Beautiful lady! 👍💜💞
Thanks for sharing your story. I am blessed. Take care.
Lilly, you are so precious!! You took courage to go and be with some very different family members. And learning French. Your an amazing young women.!! I'm so understanding of the many difficulties you went thru!! I have a thing about phones to and I keep my ringer on mute. Very seldom can I let someone that needs to speak to me about something important, I allow in those situactions, for my phone to ring. God bless you and your family that's been thru sooo much, yet God helped you all to come through it!!! Inspiring!!!
👸🐛🦋💞🕊🍃
Thanks Lilly, for sharing your story, of your darks days. But i can see you overcome those trauma’s, drama’s and you have the strenght to surfive and a bevinding loving Mother. God is with yu🙏🏿
Thanks for sharing your life experiences with us, very interesting.
Thank you Lilly for sharing...x
Thank you for sharing, so proud of you, your a good person
Thank you for sharing, Lilly. ❤
The 911 thing must have been so stressful for you. It's good to get it all out.🤗
Honest and humble, thankyou for sharing and God bless you
I know that’s not all your testimony Lily as I’ve heard your full testimony before…all I can say is Praise Yahweh! Hallelujah! Just know you’ve helped many with telling us your struggles and tribulations. These trials build our perseverance and character! You’ve come a long way Lily only with the Holy Spirit who allows you to stand strong. ❤
Lilly Hubbard you are well traveled smart intelligent woman relating experiences as student exchange program in France well verse, well exposed good experiences sharing daily life activities nice to hear nice vlog enjoyable to watch pretty sure you speak French too.
Dear you were a bit screwd up before you went to paris at 17 you have seen a different way of living it was thebest thing happened to you and made you the lovely person that you are love from london uk
😊 Have nice Day end Happy Holidays in france god blees You 🌷👋👍👍😊🇮🇩🙏
I’ve been watching your videos and by far, my favorite is seeing you in street ministry to the Thai people sharing the gospel and handing out food. You did a great job explaining Jesus to them. I hope you can continue with street ministry even though you are in Bangkok. Or maybe you should pray about how long you are going to be there. You have a great testimony of coming out of the occult and could really shine a light into the darkness by telling that Jesus is the way, the truth and the life and the only way to get to God. God bless you dear.
I guess we have to try our best to be tolerant, patient, compassionate, forgiving, and loving to others...but mostly to our own selves.
Love,love, love you Lilly❤🎉. You are always uplifting and wonderful!! 0:00
Hey Lily
Firstly I wanna say that my heart was moved with love and compassion for that inner pain you went through. I literally feel Jesus compassion sometimes when people talk about events in their lives. It feels like my heart is bleeding inside. I wanted to reach out and touch your heart with his healing balm.
Its great getting to hear and see your heart.
But the other thing I want to tell you is what happened the third time you came on and were praying in the Spirit. When you opened your eyes and began talking I could barely look in your eyes as you looked back at the camera. It was like the power of the Holy Spirit was strong it was too bright to look in your eyes. I realised the glory of the Lord was shining through your eyes. It was too dazzling and bright to stay focused. I had to keep from focusing. The only way I can explain or compare it was I was seeing in the spirit the glory of God. It was like staring straight into a light. It's impossible to do so for long cos it actually hurts the iris.
I believe I was seeing the light of God in the spirit realm. Shining out through your eyes.
So amazing hey ?
I also saw something very deep and spiritual in her eyes towards the end of her video. The last few sentences, her eyes changed completely. There was something supernatural there. The love of God was shining through her eyes. Our amazing Lord and Saviour. Praise His Mighty Name.
@@pinkflamingo8088 wow yes that's when it was! That's so interesting you saw this too. Holy Spirit shining out through her eyes. The eyes are the window to the soul
@@loveoracle8797 If it’s not biblical it didn’t happen. Shakespeare quoted that the eyes are the windows to the soul.
You are such a sweet and beautiful soul. Your experiences are lessons and preparation for who you will become.
Blessings

Oh no Lily 🙁🙁
You really really have had to experience one almighty challenge 😢😢
The sadness in your face during this was painful to watch.
It’s no wonder you lost your way 💔💔
Trauma after trauma at such a young vulnerable age.
Lots of love Lily 💞 xXx
Hi Lilly, I too, grew up with a fear of answering the phone. It was a huge struggle. I thought I was the only one. Love your story, God bless your journey.
WoW what an experience etc you went through thanks for sharing.
I am 7 yrs clean from alcohol and drugs.
Thanks for sharing ❤️
GOD bless you and your family ❤
Love you you speak … love your pther channel too
Thanks for sharing I could really relate ❤
Luv you Lily
Lilly, I think this is the 3rd or 4th time I am watching this video. The things that happened to you. I can relate it to my life. My Dad was mortally scared of me. My up bringing wasn't the best. My Mum was a nagger. She couldn't keep her mouth shut for 5 minutes. There is a lot I could say, but to me the past is the past. Now I concentrate on the present and the future. One day when I come next year. I can sit with you and narrate my life experience to you. Then I can close the book, never to speak about my past again. Take care, God Bless you.
Interesting testimony Lily. Godbless.
Thank you for sharing.
Amazing Grace.
I am so very happy that you are processing this. It is part of the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit healing you a little at a time. Thank you for sharing your story. Perhaps you are being prepared to write a book. I pray that you are able to rest your mind and soak in God's healing comfort after working so hard to face these memories. Much love to you, dear Lilly.
Lily I love your sweet family! I also love how true and real you are. You are a beautiful person inside and out! I live in California so I am far away, keep making these videos if you can. I love how your videos are full of happiness and I get to see were you live since I haven’t been there. Most of all I love that you love God and Jesus❤ God Bless you and your family. Donna
Love you my sister in Christ. Thank you for sharing. Always give yourself grace and keep being the good person you are.
Perhaps not so much at the time, but looking back in retrospect what Paul says in Romans 8:28 that truly "All things work together for God to them who love God and are called according to His purpose". He uses temporal circumstances to achieve His eternal purposes doesn't He?
I appreciate the reminder to be understanding of other people's "quirks". We all have them....ugh! We never know what trauma they may have gone through. Just recently "stumbled" on you when you were on Chyna's utube channel while she was in Thailand. Was curious to know what Thailand is like and looked you up. So glad l did. You and your family and of course your mom are sweet blessings🌿🕊🕯
THANKU LILY. FOR ALL YOU DO&ALSO COULD YOU TELL US MORE ABOUT SONJA&HOW SHE ENDED UP IN THAILAND? TKU LILY FOR SHAREING
Thank you, Lilly, for sharing your story.
I think the tough times in our lives make us more empathetic to others around us. When we walk a mile in those shoes, we can relate to and help others. I have learned that I need to make amends for my past sins to others and to myself by living one day at a time.
A living amends is what my Christian faith calls for. I must forgive myself if I ask God to forgive me. Or else, I would not be accepting God's gift of Jesus and forgiveness 🙏.
I hope that makes sense.
Every time I encounter a new trial, I look back at my past to remember how God got me
through it. It shows me that God will get me through whatever storm I am in.
I journal through difficult times and have always ended by writing a prayer regarding each entry. I go back months later and have found that every single prayer has been answered!
Talk about faith building.....that does it!!!
I love you sweet lady xo you are doing so good. I'm proud of you. This is hard stuff for you, I know. Better things and even better things are already in the plan( the good plan) Father has for your life. You are brave and strong! God bless you Lilly & your Wat, Nam & babies xo
Thanks for sharing
Thank you for sharing LILY, You are Beautiful.. ENFANT DE D.IEU.
Lilly you bless me so much. I spent 33 years drinking my life away. Now I sit and obey...God every day. I choose not to be placed in my cave..acting like a slave... for how I disobeyed. Instead I show people my knoss... and pull up on it.. to get lose. I tell every body about my news. That God sees who abused the rules. I was one of those people who never cared if I was evil... until I'm sitting back now being feabal. You can NEVER BE BELIEVABLE....IF YOU DON'T SEES WHO'S ACHIEVABLE. I believe in your seeds... that bent you to your knee's... and that's why I am at ease... when I hear your story. It's God who gets all the glory.
You are wonderful ❤🙏
Thank you for sharing ❤
Oh lilly from marriage to school in france I'm in New oleans now having fun
Hi Lily , my name is Anna I am an Italian artist paiter living in New Zealand . I studied art in France and I at the moment in Paris until the 28th of October (then go back to New Zealand) . I follow your channel and I think you and your family are really great in every ways . It would be so nice to meet you , I live near the Sorbonnne and Pantheon (5 eme Arr) I would love to meet you for a coffee but never mind if you can't. Happiness to you and your family Love Anna
Hello we have left Paris. We were only there two days.
Thank you❤️I was listening about your life in your videos and all I can say is:" You are strong and intelligent woman❤️" Thank you for sharing, it's inspiring and interesting.
Your past personal Life was clearly an unblanced lost existance... mostly due to your father but also because of your mother. Your mother is a lovely charming lady that is so easy to like, and we've heard how difficult her times of working to survive were...but her input in parental guidance and bonding was not sufficient or minimal and that contributed to you living as a wild flower with your various addictions. Its no wonder you became a strict religious person. People who live a lost Life often tend to fall into 1 religious faction or another thats somewhat extreme in their beliefs, and very systematic in their practices... 1 excessive habit lifestyle gets taken over by another... even if the religious one is a clean of substance path and a character uplifting existance, its still an over powering controlling lifestyle that pushes for its personal organised systematic way. Clearly, your faith has helped you survive and supported you as you stepped away from the dustructive life you had before... hopefuly you will one day truely find yourself and be a free self Loving spirit with God, not dependent on a religion to carry you in Life.
This is terrible to hear your story.I apologise for judging you.
I pray that as you share your pain God will start the healing within you🙏🙏❤️
Listening and watching you seems you are so broken but fighting to let go of your pass. It interesting because I see in my life and family how some of us went though but we able to let go and seem to move on not really let it bother us today. Then a few are serious and try to go on but deep inside not over it. Seem your mom don't want to keep going back talking about the pass but you seem to bring it up. God is our healer and you trying hard. Wish you the best cause you are a good wife and great mother.
Wow you are so strong every thing is for a reason in the Lord
Thanks for sharing your story. I went on a French exchange when I was in secondary school and we stayed there for 10 days. I really wanted to go but I found it really difficult. As the dad assumed I knew a lot or just spoke so fast that I couldn't work much of it out that he was saying. The rest of the family made it a bit easier for me to work out some words and phrases. We had to get up early for her school. The Emile Zola school in Rennes. It was a bit of a culture shock as even though she was shy like me, she was at home in the party that we were invited to with her friends. She lived in the town on the edge of a military base with her brothers and parents. Her dad was quite high up in the military ranks there. So they had a nice house in town rather than a smaller house further out of town on the other side of the base. We could walk into town together. Meet her friends. Go shopping, we went on a couple of day trips with the family. Most of the day trips were with her and her class. Which was fun. Some of the lessons were fun. Some were too hard for me to keep up. We had 6 level classes at my school at home with French. I did pretty well but I wasn't that fluent. I struggled sometimes. I was in the top B set class and was close to getting placed in the lower A class set but I didn't quite make it. I don't mind though. I wasn't ready to move up anyway and my friend was in my class. I had a great time with my friends on the trip but I did get very homesick. I wanted to go home as I struggled to understand her father. I felt out of my depth sometimes. I got on well with my exchange student, but we were so different that we didn't know what to chat about sometimes. I was a poorer kid and she went riding and did activities that was totally different. My favourite day was when we went to a military base party and we had a BBQ and played volleyball for ages and did other sports. It was a fun day. I loved seeing different places in France and exploring the town with her and our school groups. I wouldn't change my experience as it was a great thing to do and like you I really wanted to do it. Experience another country and improving my french. I was so shy as a kid that it was overwhelming for me but important for me to do. I'm still kind of shy now but not as bad. I can talk to strangers and worked in retail for 10 yrs which is something I never thought I would do. Working in retail and meeting good friends at work helped me come out of my shell shyness wise. That wasn't until I was in my 20's.
My exchange trip was in the 90's. I struggled to remember French words and phrases as the order it goes in is confusing to me. So I can't remember much at all. Now I have been learning Dutch as I have Dutch relatives, who made the effort to speak English with us. Our cousin's spoke almost perfect English. So I felt bad as they had to work hard to think in our language all the time. So I have been learning Dutch off and on when I could by myself with books, tapes, Cd ROMs and videos. I use Duolingo now and have made so much more progress to catch up where I should have gotten to by now over the yrs. As I didn't have much time before to work on it alone and find things to work through I did a lot but had forgotten a lot of spellings. My pronunciation is okay and my comprehension was quite good but I couldn't remember spellings. I have done 270 days in a row and made so much more progress and can remember so many words, phrases and I can now remember spellings too.
Doing a Dutch Duolingo lesson right now. There is a song that I'm learning in Dutch which I can sing some of it. Some is quite fast. I watched a Dutch drama and recognised and knew quite a lot than I thought I would. So watching it wasn't too overwhelming. I enjoyed watching that series and wanted more episodes of it.
My mother in law to be is dating a Dutchman so I said Tot ziens to him as they left on Xmas day. I will try and learn from him as well by practicing my Dutch. I have a long way to go though, but I have made so much more progress than I did with French and other languages.
I have run my own pet sitting business in the UK on my own. Which I started from scratch I have been self employed for 11 yrs. So I meet new customers every yr every couple of months. So I have meet and greets with them which are like relaxed job interviews. I get nervous every time even though most of them go really well. I have built up a good reputation for myself and people trust me and recommend me. I never would have thought I would be able to do that either. Meeting strangers and working for them in different locations and with different types of pets.
Lily your are fearless for the truth. I am going thru a friendship with an alcoholic man and I asked him to listen to what you have to say.
God bless you
Hi, Im new to your channels. I’m going through some things of my own right now. Thank you for sharing. I hope to be happy someday. I’ve had my periods of happiness and trauma too. You have a beautiful family. I never found the right person to have a family with. Now at 57 it is too late. So I’m trying to find my happiness. I want to travel. Hopefully someday I will find someone to travel with.❤️
Hey Lilly..just found your new channel..
You had a adventurous life. You should write a book🙂😘
God bless our sacred women. ❤️
Many exchange students and au pairs have had the same experience with host fathers. If nothing mire, they like to flirt, compliment and make young woman feel uncomfortable.
Your beauty is so magnetic and extraordinary that it is hard ti stop watching you. Your natural charisma on top of your beauty makes you to have STAR QUALITY.
You have that X factor that comes handy in working public job!!!!
I am agnostic who don't understand when you get into religious talk yet U watch your videos religiously. 😘
