Artist description I Surrender All To You Lord! To God Be The Glory! I Can Do All Things Through Christ That Strengthen Me! I Order My Steps In Your Word Lord So I Can Be Guided Down The Right Path! May Gods Anointing Continue To Fall Down On Me! Amen! In every family there is someone with a dream. Many people don’t have the help needed to achieve those dreams and they become shattered. Lolitha Oliver have a dream. Sometimes dreams are not easy to accomplish. I have been singing since I was a little girl in the church choir. I formally attended New Bright Star Missionary Baptist Church where the Rev. L. J. Scott was my pastor. Due to his retirement, I am a recent member of Logos Christian Center where the Rev. Olivia Hines is my pastor. I love doing outreaches in the community. In my singing ministry, I was a participant in The 8th Annual New Artist Record Manufacturers Showcase Concert 2001 given by Rev. Robert Woods as well as musicals. I have opened for several block parties giving the young people a word about God. I counsel young and old about the goodness of Gods grace during their storms. I have song at many churches and shelters for the elderly in and out of Texas. My soul purpose for singing is to reach the hearts of people with Gods word. Not to get the glory myself, for I know that God is the reason we all are here and blessed. When you know that, things fall into place. My mother would always say, “God gave you a talent use it!” By those encouraging words I did use the gift and became a well respected young woman of God. I have experienced the ups and downs positives and negatives you get in gospel groups. I know now that God had to mold me for five (5) years to get me at the level I am now. I am Glad I had that test and pasted. Gods anointing power is awesome. Before singing gospel I wasn’t sure what dream I wanted to take on first. I thought man it is so hard to sing gospel. I would enter into The People’s Workshop here in Houston to try for The Sammy Davis Jr. Award given by his wonderful wife. It was an honor for me to get nominated for two (2) years and get a certificate of recognition. Being a young lady nominated for an award meeting the Mighty Clouds of Joy was great. I tried acting as well. I was in the movie Jason’s Lyric as an extra. No matter what I did I always put God first. Things would always workout great. That was another test. I got to experience how one minute you can mingle with the crowd and the next they can be your biggest enemy. It was nothing you done. God just chose me out of a crowd of extras to walk infront of the camera. I thought I was being thrown out. I had no idea because I wasn’t showing skin I would be picked. So I do know the Lord works in mysterious ways. I began writing music soon after that experience. The only songs God gave me were Gospel. No matter how hard I tried to write a love song Gospel came in my mind. I would tell my mother I don’t know what to do. Should I sing Gospel or R&B. She would always say “God is showing you what you need to do Lolitha”. Satan had put doubt in my mind through other people saying you sound good singing R&B. Gospel isn’t going any where I was told by powerful people. We have to be careful what we tell young people. Gospel is good and I wanted to sing. One night a tragic accident happened at my apartment. A car came through my apartment off the feeder at 102 miles per hour while I was sleeping God watched over me. I was in such a shock I couldn’t speak. I had lost my voice for a split second. People would ask if I was ok? I couldn’t say anything just crying. My voice came back when I calm down and I knew then I am singing Gospel no matter how negative people are to me. God spared my life. We never know how many times in a day our life is spared by God’s protection. Do I have “Faith”? This is a question everyone needs to ask themselves as deciples for Christ. May it Bless others like it has truly Blessed me. God gave it to me and I want to share it with you. Thank you for listening. You will like what you hear. God Bless you and keep you is my prayer. This is the life of Lolitha Oliver singer, song writer, wife, mother and proud woman of God.
