I just want to share another miracle in my life. It may look like a hurdle in my walk of faith, fear not for I jumped higher to overcome it. I consider it one of my best trials for it shaped me to humble myself and release my self-sufficiency.
So, let me entertain you with some good bits. I am deeply grateful because God is always faithful. When He promised you something, He does it! He is that great! All praises to His Holy Name! First year of medschool was not easy. It maybe my second chance to try again, still studying in Medical School had really engraved my heart to hardwork and tears of pain. But heads up! I accepted it long ago that it is God’s calling for me to attend my First Year classes. I’ve had the best experiences so far. I enjoyed my days of weariness and contentment. That cannot be joined but God proved again that in my weariness, He can give me contentment through His peace. Being a Christian is not easy especially when the world wounded up to pursue you and confide to plan evil for you. It would take a great strength to wear your shield of faith just like how David beat Goliath. I am David. Simply because I was smaller than the world (haha). Kidding aside, I am beyond grateful that God had been faithful in my life because He answered my prayers in His own right timing. However, He left me something to humble me. He made me attend Remedials. Remedial was like a last-chance-of-my-first-year-so-better-take-this-seriously classes in such a way that you’d have to pass it. ALL OR NOTHING. How did I get to attend one? My grade in Gross Anatomy was hanging on a thin thread, mostly borderline. Putting it a lay man’s term, my grade didn’t make it to the cut so I have to take remedial classes to pass.
When I received my grades online, I cried! Substantially. Not because I got a remedial clasa but because I PASSED MY FIRST YEAR SUBJECTS ESPECIALLY THE HARDEST SUBJECTS I PRAYED A LOT TO GOD.
God is amazing because He wanted me to learn something in order to advance to the next level of my studies. I listed my realizations after I finally took my LAST COMPREHENSIVE EXAM OF MY FIRST YEAR AS A MEDSTUDENT.
- “The wind needs to be against you in order to see that God is with you.”
- If it were easy, you would rely on yourself and thank the wrong things.
- Jesus sent His apostles to the storms to meet them in the storms.
- I made it out alive because God is with me all the way!
- Second chances are meant to enjoy life and see it God’s way.
This was inspired by the Pastor Steven Furtick of Elevation Church. I was watching his sermons just before I went to my Church service to pay gratitude to God. I may have stumbled a few blocks away from my goals, I didn’t worry much because God made my trials to another testimony of His greatness! Trials in my life really amplified my faith in Him because the more waves I encounter in my storms, the more opportunities I can see Jesus silencing the wind to stop the waves.
