God is Love

Hey, check it out my new blog -God is LOVE at jackyltroy-godislove.blogspot.com -

The name for this blog is taken from 1 John 4:8b; "God is love"

I was praying and asking God to give me a name for this blog and God gave me these words, 'God is love'. WOW, praise the Lord! Indeed it is so true that God is love; a loving Father and a loving Friend who never fails in loving His children! AMEN!

God bless ya!

Working On A New Blog...

Thank you for all the supports and all the comments; it really inspired me to write more! I thank God for you all.

God is my main source of inspiration in writing. I love to write and I want to write more and more about the awesomeness of God's love.

So, be patient ya for my new blog that is coming soon.

Thank you & God bless! =)

Give Thanks

Give thanks with a grateful heart,
Give thanks unto the Holy One,
Give thanks because He's given Jesus Christ, His son.

And now let the weak say, 'I am strong',
Let the poor say, 'I am rich
Because of what the Lord has done for us'

Give thanks

The Final Page

Finally, I finished writing the series of 'Few Final Pages'. This series reminded me about the faithfulness and awesomeness of God in my three fantastic years in Kuala Lumpur! Praise the Lord!

I started this chapter as a late teenager and now it ended where I am a young working adult! My heart is full of gratitude to God for His awesome guidance, blessing and His wonderful love for me throughout my three years journey in Kuala Lumpur. I can see and aware of his wonderful blessing over me especially in my studies, my friendship and relationship with people around me and my walk with Him.

Images of me -captured in these three awesome years!-
[Short hair, long hair, thin and fat =P]

I pray that everything that I learned and gained in these three years, I will use it mightily to serve Him and His people here at Ipoh where I just started my new chapter of life as a young working adult. Like what Pr. Nancy said, I am the missionary that sent out by DUMC children's church to serve in Ipoh. AMEN!

That's all folks...
Another chapter of my life is gone but it was well read and it was a memorable one and it will be deeply missed! Thank you God and everyone who imparted into my life and make it so colourful and memorable! Thank you and God bless! Goodbye!

The End

Choo... choo... The train is here and I am heading to a new chapter now! Cheerio =)

P/s: I'm excited about the new chapter of my life and I can't wait to see where the Lord will lead me to! "Lord, guide me and lead me! I will follow You wherever You bring me to in this new journey of life! I love You, Lord! AMEN!"

Few Final Pages; Part 6 - My Mentors

I am so blessed -really blessed- to have all my mentors and I thank God for them! Each of them play a different roles in my life but with one common purpose; is all about God. They help me to grow in the Lord and walk closer with the Lord. Praise the Lord! =)

Pr. Nancy -DUMC children's chruch pastor-
Pr. Nancy teach me a lot about leadership, children ministry, clowning, balloon sculpting, preaching using gospel illusion, prayer, journaling, courtship and family relationship. She also sent me to Bible College Malaysia (BCM) to equip me.

Jefrey Ong -Cell member-
Jef teach me about leadership, my walk with God -like journaling- and family relationship.

Timmy Lai -My elder brother-
Timmy is my brother, so he teaches me about family quite a lot and also about his walk with God. He also teaches me about working life and dealing with people.

Stanley Woo -Church friend & BCM classmate-
Stanley teach me about mission and photography.

"Dear Lord Daddy, thank You for all my mentors. Thank you for putting them into my life and using them mightily in shaping my character and helping me to walk closer with You. Lord, bless all of them richly, bless their family and their work too and keep watching over them and continue to use them mightily to shine Your name. Thank you Lord. In Jesus' name I prayed, Amen!"

God bless! Cheerio =)

Few Final Pages; Part 5 - God Chasers!

Out so many blessing that I received throughout my three years journey in Kuala Lumpur, having this cell group -God Chasers- was one of the best!

When I was starting my new journey of life in a new environment, it was hard for me especially being away from my family. I really thank God for this cell group! My cell leader, David Cheng and his wife, Kath and the rest of the cell members really helped me to cope well in the new environment, in addition, they also helped me to overcome my home sick.

I grown a lot when I was attending this cell group especially my walk with God and as well my thinking and my character. I was a late teenager when I was attending this cell group and I left the cell group as young -very young, I guess!- adult. As you can see, I was growing up in this cell group. Praise the Lord!

"Dear Lord Daddy, I want to thank you for this awesome cell group where I used to belonged. Thank you for blessing me with this awesome cell group! Lord, I pray that You'll continue to bless this cell group and continue to watch over this cell group. I also want to pray for David and Kath; Lord, bless both of them and grant them the encouragement, inspiration and as well as the Your everlasting strength to lead this cell group. And Lord, bless the members of this cell group too, pray that everyone will grow deeper in their walk with You and experience Your love in a greater way! Thank you Lord. In Jesus' name I prayed, Amen!"

Miss you all very much! God bless and cheerio =)

Few Final Pages; Part 4 - Mission Trips

I am so blessed that I was able to go for two mission trips in year 2007. Praise the Lord!

Children with their masterpiece; Orang Asli in Rompin, Pahang

Aborigines of Malaysia in Rompin, Pahang - This was the place where I went for my first mission trips. I went there with my cell group. It was challenging to me at first -the place where I was staying and doing our activities was dusty- I felt so uncomfortable. Then, God reminded me about my purpose for the mission trips. I changed my mind and stayed focus on Him. I ended up so much fun serving Him throughout the four days there without any distraction. Praise the Lord!

My team members and I together with the Orang Asli Pastor and his family

And my second mission trip was going to Cambodia! WOW, this mission trip was awesome! I was so blessed. God provided my whole trip's expenses! Praise the Lord! In addition, He also blessed me a group of great team members! I wrote a post about my Cambodia Mission Trip; check it out and see the awesomeness of God at www.jackyltroy.blogspot.com/2008/04/my-cambodia-youth-mission-trip.html

All praises and glories to the Lord! Cheerio =)
