#36 Jenni Lien [Celebrating Our God-Given Design from Hong Kong]

from Girls Talking Life · host Yohonna Smith

Jenni Lien is the writer and artist behind The Yay Project which seeks to help women celebrate their God-given design by reminding them that 'You Are You' (Yay!). Through The Yay Project, she's had the joy of e-praising God with women from all over the world. Jenni is a second generation immigrant.  She was born in the UK, moved to Canada when she was eight and now lives in Hong Kong. In our conversation Jenni talks about growing up experiencing lots of diversity and how that led her to appreciate how different God has made us. She shares what led her to Hong Kong and describes the culture, the current unrest and her experience with the coronavirus. Jenni talks about not giving into fear, but trying to be a light during fearful times.   Then we dig in to how and why Jenni started The Yay Project. Jenni talks about feeling like her life was going exactly according to God's plan and how when that plan fell apart, all she had was God's faithfulness to get her through. She says "through that whole experience, he brought me to a place where I was just so in love with him." During that time was when he gave her the vision for her project. Jenni talks about carrying a fear of rejection and needing to heal from some old wounds in order to more fully accept her God-given design, and how she wants to encourage other women to do the same. Jenni is overjoyed to connect with women so deeply through a shared love of God. When not creating for Yay, she works in children's book publishing and is also a freelance food writer.   MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE The Yay Project Praying All Day Yay Sister Series   JENNI'S FAVORITE 5 Whistles Dresses Oliplex Hair Treatment I Give You Authority by Charles Kraft        Spotify Top Christian Playlist iPad and Apple Pencil   CONNECT WITH JENNI Instagram | Facebook | Website   SUPPORT THE SHOW Pure Haven is the maker of fresh, safe, personal and home care products. Their mission is to educate consumers about pure, safe, alternative personal care choices that empower people to live the healthiest lifestyle possible. Their products are 100% free of toxins.
