God is good.

Hi all

I have been slow in delivering my testimony since I developed my faith in the Lord. Just want to share with you guys how Lord has been showing me the way, and to encourage you guys along with me!

It all started when I was studying in Ngee Ann. Back then, Lord has shown me the way to go, and when I was studying, I already knew that I wanted to do Medicine in Uni, so I prayed to the Lord, and asked Him,"Lord, it is utmost difficult to go into Medicine from Poly, but why did you show me the way to the Poly?" God just replied,"Do not worry and put your faith in me. The way will work out for you."

All through my Poly days, Lord have been showing me the way, giving me responsibilities one after the other, and blessing me on my studies, such that I can develop all characters required. Lord has been great, and Lord has been preparing me for what He has planned for me.

Just as the odds seem to be against me, and studying overseas seem to be the only way for me to be able to do medicine, Lord opened up the way for me, to apply for NUS. I was really thrilled back then, because it signifies hope for me. I applied and did all that I needed to do. And all through the several months of preparation, Lord has placed people who will help me along the way around me, and Lord has prepared me sufficiently for the difficulties ahead of me.

After I knew I was offered a place in Medicine, my next biggest obstacle is financial backing. How am I going to be able to finance my whole 5 years of studies, which would amount to nearly 100K? Yet again, Lord opened the way for me, and I applied for scholarships. With so much competition from peers who are equally outstanding, I thought I would never had a chance to be awarded the scholarship, and so I prayed, thanking the Lord for what He has done thus far.

Lord is great, and Lord is the almighty Lord who knows what each of us are here for. Lord yet again removed another obstacle in my studies in Medicine. I received a call from the secretariat informing me that they would be rewarding me the scholarship, and I am the first case to be able to be awarded the scholarship, even though it would cost the organisation a big bomb. Lord is good, and Lord provides.

All through my time in medicine now, Lord has been showing me and giving me signs and thoughts in my mind, to learn how to be a good doctor. Initially when I entered Medicine, I wanted to do well enough to be in the Dean's List, but with my limited capabilities, I couldn't. I prayed to the Lord and asked Him,"Lord, what is it that you want me to achieve in medical school, now that You have put me into it?"

"I want you to learn to be a good doctor. Doing well in studies is not your priority now, but learning how to be a good doctor should be your utmost priority."

And so for the last few weeks of my 1st semester, I focused on learning not for grades, but to know more and to be able to be a good doctor, and indeed, my grades improved. God has been working in my life all the while, and through med school, His works in my life is made even more significant.

Just want to encourage everyone, that our Lord provides and He is the Lord who can see what we are here for. Let us all place our faith in Him, and allow Him to lead us to where we should go.
