It has been a 4-year journey of trusting God through my Medical studies, and prolly I'd have to wait a little longer.
Yesterday at 4pm, I received the news on Blackboard that I've failed my Final OSCE exam. It came as a shock as I was preparing for graduation already. Questions on where and how I've gone wrong in the exam, to this extent.
But I was reminded to give thanks, under any circumstance. It was tough, but I had to.
Bro YL said, "To live by faith, and not by sight." Indeed, as with many other students, God has been teaching me to have faith in Him and to trust Him. This is the final ultimate test of faith and like sis YM said, "I'm gonna pass it." Beyond the medical degree and the results, the test of faith much more crucial.
Thank God for His peace, when I received the "news". The stillness and the calmness in this "storm" left me dumbfounded. I even asked bro B if he knew what was on my mind, cos I was not as upset or depressed as I thought I'd have been. This must be from God.
Thank God even for the PnW practice session at 5pm yesterday. (Yes, it was one hour post-results release). It was not easy leading and singing the songs, "Happy Day", and "Blessed be Your name". But it was easier, singing then, than before. In fact, having to praise and worship God for who He is, despite one of the most difficult time in my life, is a great experience. I would not trade this for anything else :)
God is just too awesome. hehe. I thought he must have been playing a "joke" on me, having to PnW Him just imm after this ordeal. But it was a great opportunity to surrender to God and just believe in Him. The music that was played, the prayers said, the company and presence of unity before Him and the lyrics that we sang, were so comforting and reassuring of His goodness. That everything will be alright.
Much has been said and God has brought me thus far. I believe He will continue to see me thru till the very end.
God is good and I'm gonna put my faith in Him.
Pray for me as you read this, that I can be offered a supplementary paper between 12 and 14 Dec. That I can graduate despite not attending the graduation ceremony.
Pray for my parents that they would have received this news better than I. That their salvation in Christ will come through this ordeal.
Many good things will come out of this.
Walk by faith, not by human sight (:
Amen. Thank you Lord.
