God is always great....

It’s always a blessing from God when we get free stuff. Free doesn’t mean that it is cheap and lousy but it means that someone pays it for you and you got it as a blessing. Someone has to pay for the stuff.

This morning, we got free Mc Donald big breakfast. Totally free as my colleague pay for the minimum payment. Two days ago, we got free vegetable. What a great God we are serving… Feel happy already and ready to start my day counting His blessing.

** God is always good **

Mime....

Last Sunday, I was given the opportunity for the first time to dance mime. The movements are simple and nice but the expressions are not. However, we enjoy doing it…. Though we don’t like the mask/makeup. What to do... mime have to put on something like that on the face.

** All glory to God **

Made my day

Happy and ready to start my day.

Cooking…

Cooking is much easier, fun and faster now. Well as for this period of time, I have to learn to cook fast due to the pack with ministry at night… So, have to finish it within 30 minutes. So, we have 3 dishes and rice in 30 minutes. With one new dish some more… I am impressed…


Tada… let me introduce you, the BBQ corned beef with carrot, egg and onion. Danny said… Very nice…


Sometimes, we have corned beef fried rice and chicken wings.

Creative Ministry for Children?

For the past 4 days, I was in the training, not as a participant, but as one of the trainer and coordinator. The whole training went well and amazing. It amazed me how creative our God is and how God use an ordinary people to magnify His name. The training was about teaching the children leaders to start creative ministry in their church for their children and hope that they capture the concept of creative ministry.


I enjoy a lot in the training. Firstly, because this is something I really like and secondly, I able to work with Rachel, Chanel and Cory. They are marvelous... I heard about them a lot and this is the first time I work together with them and try to work this training out. We have a lot of laughter and fun together in the preparation as well as in the training. It was my joy and honour to dance together with them as they all have great experience and greatly used by God.



They have workshops...


And we have the youngest participant... Enoch Chia


In all the busyness and tiredness, I am grateful that I didn’t miss God’s presence. Personally, I experience him and my soul is lifted and refreshed. Healing takes place and His love assure me of His greatness and promise.


It was a priceless experience to work together as trainer with them and to see how God move each participant to dance gracefully for Him.

** Enjoy every moment with the moms **

有一位神

A song that minister to me and find much comfort in it that i have Him...

有一位神，有權能創造宇宙萬物
也有溫柔雙手安慰受傷靈魂
有一位神，有權柄審判一切罪惡
也有慈悲體貼人的軟弱

有一位神，我們的神，唯一的神，名叫耶和華
有權威榮光，有恩典慈愛，是昔在今在永在的神

有一位神，有權能創造宇宙萬物
也有溫柔雙手安慰受傷靈魂
有一位神，高坐在榮耀的寶座
卻死在十架挽救人墮落

There is a God, has right to create all things
Has gentle hands to comfort the wounded soul
There is a God, has power to overcome all crimes
He is compassionate and considerate to human weakness

There is one God, our God, the only God, His name is Lord God Almighty.
He has Authoritative glory, grace and mercy, He is in the past, in the future and an everlasting God.

There is a God, has the right to create all things
Has gentle hands to comfort the wounded soul
There is a God, who sit on the glorious high throne
But died on the cross to save the man fall

** 有一位神 **

The provincial gathering

On 21st – 24th February, I was given the chance to go to the provincial gathering together with many clergy and pastors. It was a nice trip because I eat a lot and laugh a lot. It was nice spending some time with our pastors (some of the young ones around our age).


This is the second time I went to Penang. I was kinda worry that going back to Penang might flash back some unwanted memories. But I was coping it well and amazingly well. The places that I went are new or rather I have forgotten them. Maybe I have really forgotten most of the memories that I choose to forget.
Anyway, the trip was nice though I am a bit reluctant to go at the first place but it was nice. We manage to go out for a supper and some last minutes good food and shopping. Didn't manage to buy anything but i look like a ball after 4 days eating and having fun in Penang and I successfully gave Danny Wong a shock when he sees me. I think i really eat a lot for that 4 days. Hehe...

** Penang **

A flash back that bring me a smile

I was having my breakfast alone today with lots of student around me. Suddenly, there is this flash back about my teenage time when I was in secondary school.

There is this boy that felt in love with me when we started to click along. Let’s call him ABC. ABC happens to be one of the so called “gangsters” in the school. To be a ‘gangster’, I think one of the requirements is big size. ABC is kinda a big size boy.

He has his enemy also. They have these two groups of different gang. If you happen to bully one of the members in the gang, they will start a flight.

To continue my side of the story, I was a prefect that time. I don’t think I fear any of them because I know they only have loud voice. Faithfully, I do my duty as a prefect and do what is right and ‘saman’ what is wrong.

One fine afternoon during lunch break, the other side of the gang try to threaten me when I advised them to clean what they have eaten in the canteen. But his ‘member’ stop him and said, this is ABC girl.. Better don’t touch. If not, war will happen. I stand there looking at him and he said to me, you are lucky.

That flash back really gave me a smile. We didn’t end up together because I really don’t like ABC. According to him, he was in love with me for 2 years and waiting for me to accept him.

As time has passed, sometimes, I hope I can meet him and know how he is doing now. I guess even if we meet on the street, we hardly recognize each other because it has been so long.

** Memories are nice **

Gift of hospitality

Someone said, to be a pastors’ wife, one of the gifts that you should have is the gift of hospitality. Well, I think gift of hospitality means you have to be good in cooking, serving and happily open your house for guess. I have to admit that I don’t really like people coming to my house because after they left, I am the one that left cleaning up all the stuff.

I guess I really have to learn to love cleaning stuff so that I will love doing it than complaining it. As for now, let’s start with learning how to feed well my husband to be. So he will be a happy man and proud that he choose me.

** Gift of hospitality **

Learn...

Jenny Liau, you must be strong… Learn the mistake and move on.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.

** Proverbs 3:5-6 **

CNY / Holidays

We have a lot of fun travelling together.

First of all, we are really happy to be back to the places where sales are really cheap not like here (feel like being cheated), lots of things to see, lots of shopping malls to go to and most important, we get to eat Ikea meatballs, TWICE.
We spend our CNY Eve in Raub, Pahang and the 1st and 2nd day of CNY in Cameron. Cameron is filled with strawberry stuff. They even have strawberry ear warmer.
We went to some farms such as strawberry farm, tea farm, cactus farm and bee farm.

After back from Cameron, we went shopping in KL and we love it. Because we don’t have a car in KK, most of the time, we walk and date at the same time. With walk and date, we are well trained to walk a lot.

So we walked shopping malls from 12pm to 8pm. Of course when midnight came, we felt the pain.

Then we end our last three days holidays in Sandakan, my home. We rest a lot in Sandakan since we walk a lot in KL.


Being 10 days away together with him is such a joy. We laugh a lot, we eat a lot, we walk a lot, we sleep a lot but we didn’t take a lot of pictures.


Coming back to KK this time feels tougher. It might because of the position, the burden, the tension or the people. But in another hand, knowing that we are coming back together, did make a different.

** We loves our holidays **

Happy Valentine's Day

Sometimes, I still can feel the butterfly in my stomach when I see him. When he walk over and give me hug, my hearts melted. When he hold my hand, I feel blessed. When he tease me, I feel annoyed but I will laugh together with him.

I thank God for this man. He makes me laugh a lot.... Most important, he loves God. What else can I ask more? But to be grateful...

** Happy Valentine's Day **

KL - A place where I used to called home last time

Coming back together with him feels so different this time. It's good to be back for a short holiday. Hardly believe that I kinda miss the food here. I still remember the difficulties that I used to have about the food in KL when i just reached KL last time. I was complaining and grumbling about the weird taste of the food the first few months in KL.

With God's grace and plan, I manage to further my study in KL which I never plan to when I was younger. Seems like God's plan is always better than our plan.

I manage to find Him in my midst of lost and struggle in a new place and new environment with new people.

With His sovereignty, he bring us to FCC and we meet and become friends. Slowly we become close friend.

As I was walking and traveling around this place, I was wondering.. How my life would be if I choose otherwise? Would I ended up where I am now? Will my faith be shaken? Will I manage to meet him? Could Grace and I still become best friend?

I guess no one knows because I have choose this path and each step, He is guiding me.

My heart filled with gratefulness as my mistake He will take and turn to glorify Him, my heart was harden and He manage to soften it. I doubted His goodness and His patient and love never fails. How could I, Jenny Liau deserve all these?

I was a young and simple girl from a small town called Sandakan and never thought what her future will be. But my heavenly father from above, have a great plan for me.

Happy Chinese New Year

Talk about CNY, I really hate packing. Because CNY always related to packing stuff and the worst part of packing is, you have to plan what to wear for the whole trip when you are away from home. With all the planning and stuff, makes me frustrated.

Back to CNY.. Look forward to this trip so much and not really about CNY but more towards, happy that I can be away from my office for a period of time and to out of my normal routine and meet up with some old friends that I don’t normally do every day and get myself refreshed and recharge to start again. Look forward also to spend some time with my family and with my man also.

This trip starts tonight and I really look forward and excited to some times with this young lady.

I miss her a lot… Miss laughing with her, quarrelling with her (which by the way just happened not long ago), miss sharing with her, miss making her miserable having me in her life… miss a lot of what we have build since like forever.

I pray that tonight the flight will not delay and we able to spend some beautiful time together. In Jesus name, Amen.

** Till then, Happy Chinese New Year everyone…**

Companion

Every couple have their journey and things that they need to bear with one another. The same goes to us.

As I lean on his shoulder, I count my blessing and grateful that God is in the centre of us. With God’s grace, we believe we can face the future together.

I just love hanging out with him. Sharing what have we learn today, what have we do today and what do we feel about the whole situation.

** Enjoy each other companion **

A phase that I would love to remember

Maybe you are not God’s first choice.
Maybe not the second choice either.
Maybe you are the third or fourth choice.
You never know.
But let this be God’s last choices to choose you to do the things that you are called to do.


** Would like to remember **

Being young

Sometimes, being young in an organization holding a heavy post doesn’t mean is a good thing.
Sometimes, you got bullied
Sometimes, people instruct you going here and there doing this and that
Sometimes, you get blamed
Sometimes, you don’t get the chances to explain, even if you did, people will not listen
Sometimes, you being expected highly
Sometimes, you don’t get to choose what you like to do
Sometimes, you don’t have authority to instruct even your position is higher

So what do we get being young? Energetic and beauty? How long that can last?

Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity. ~ 1 Timothy 4:12

May this verse give help us to have the courage to move on.

Picture of the day # 6

I find this interesting...

** Nice... **

New Theme

New year gonna start with a new theme too…

Last year my focus is to not give up and believe that faithfulness is the key because at the end of the days, we all hope to hear God said, “well done you good and faithful servant” and not “well done you good and very hardworking servant” nor will he said “well done, you good and generous servant”. From that point, I realize that faithfulness is the key. God is faithful and being faithful to him will please Him.

It is indeed a year of not giving up. There are many times in my last year that I am so tempted to give up and walk away for various reasons. It is only by His grace that I am still surviving here, holding what I am holding now.

With not giving up theme for last year, I felt that this year should be a year to learn to be still and know that He is God.

Feelings come and go. Seasons will also pass by like wind. Emotions can be swinging up and down but my will and soul must stay firm and still to know that God is God and He is in control. Many times in my weakness, I forgot that many things in our life are out of our control. We can only do our best with all our heart and leave it to God that in control of everything to do the rest.

Throughout this year, I pray that not only I able to taste the stillness in my soul with knowing who God is and also to be able to know Him deeper. That has always been my prayer. In order to do so, I have to go through different kind of struggles. May I hide under your wings and find refuge.

** Be still and know that He is God **
