I had been worried about being left alone with my MIL once Mr Liow went back to work after our holidays early this month (last week, to be exact).
Those worries were really unfounded.
It's been a great week with good opportunities to talk to my MIL and get to know her better. My impression of her had not been the best since we got married. I know she dotes on me but have always believed that it was because I dared not defy her. This is partly true tho (hehe), that if I had been of a defiant character, we probably wouldn't have spent quality time chatting for the entire week that had just passed. Also I never liked how dominating she had been.
During several casual conversations scattered over the past week, I saw a much softer side of her I never believed could exist (sorry Mr Liow). I know it's the work of the Lord in her and I praise the Lord for that!
She shared a little of how she found faith in the Lord, how she attended church when she was a teenager with siblings and how things happened that made her turn far far away from God. A friend of hers brought out the fact that God actually waited 40 years for her.
It just goes to show the Lord never gives up on anyone and there's virtually, literally, practically, seriously, whateverly no one that the Lord can not move.
Of course my MIL has not suddenly turned perfect.
There are still existing values and strongholds in her life that are less than godly. Will continue to pray for her as she grows deeply rooted in her relationship with the Father.
Praise the Lord!
