sorry, this is a belated entry.
but moses shared a very nice personal testimony and i asked if he would be okay with me putting it here for everyone to read. and he's agreed. :)
My Dear Friends,
Please allow me to share with you my experience for exams for my last paper today. I hope by now, most of you would have finished your exams. If not, all the best for your paper tomorrow! To cut the long story short, I went into the exam hall today without studying much as I had a fever yesterday and early this morning. In addition, I couldn’t sleep well last night. So my initial reaction was: die already, so sway some more, sick on last day then cannot enjoy myself. But I kept the faith going. While I was in the adoration room before Mass, this phrase “let tomorrow take care of itself” struck out to me and I also recalled the sermon given by Fr Paul Goh during Mass yesterday. He said that, “Faith is not only about doctrines, but it’s about experiences. And these experiences often entail suffering which we will grow and mature from.” How wonderful and true are these words, and I knew that my small suffering is really nothing, and I offered my small suffering to those who are really suffering from major illnesses such as cancer. On the way to school today, by right, I needed to catch up with my revision before the paper, but somehow, something inside me told me to pray the rosary, and I did. And I think it helped me greatly for my paper.
But I had two things to thank God for. Firstly, throughout my time in MPSH-1B, I felt totally normal, with no feverish symptoms. Perhaps I can attribute it to the panadol I took before leaving house. But my brain could work perfectly well. Secondly, thankfully it wasn’t other papers which I fell sick for. This lecturer of mine is indeed a Santa Clause. The paper is 10 choose 2. And he gave us the topics beforehand. In addition, most of the concepts for this module, I have learnt before. If it was another paper today, I would have died real badly, especially since I did not study much, or rather, I could not study much. I would like to attribute all these to divine grace and intervention. And I would like to thank some of you for your prayers as well! Right now, APY is also experiencing the same problem as me. Nothing to do with me. I have not seen him for ages. So I couldn’t have spread anything. I think it’s the weather. So please keep him in your prayers as he attempts his final paper tomorrow at 230pm.
It’s true that God could have prevented me from being sick, but yet He allowed it to happen. And I’ve truly learnt and matured from this experience. It’s about being still and know that He is God. True enough, ‘tomorrow’ really took care of itself. And my purpose of sharing this with you all is so that all of you may learn from this experience of mine. Thus, I pray that God will continue to strengthen and mould you. God bless!
Moses
