It has been an amazing A-Level journey with Jesus! Due to my O-Level results, I was posted to Victoria Junior College to do Arts. It was an area which I did not have much confidence in as I had been a triple science student in secondary school. At that point, I told God in my heart, “I’ll just trust in Your plans for me. Your grace will see me through.”
In the beginning of 2009, I felt prompted to join Arrow after hearing how blessed my church choir mates have been. At the first care group I attended, my care group leader Alvin Phua shared about framing our seasons with God’s Word. I took hold of that and confessed that I would see my six ‘A’s come to pass. Even though I thought it was quite impossible at that time, I just said it in faith.
In the months that led up to the A-Level exams, care group sessions and Arrow services were a constant part of my life. I could never have made it through the pressure of preparing for my exams without the constant reminders from people around me, that I was God’s beloved. Every morning before I went to school, I would confess that I had Jesus’ wisdom and favour, and that His grace was enough for the day. It helped me to be super attentive in class the whole day. His Word is truly life-giving!
During the A-Level exams, I was nervous as I had gotten an overall grade of ‘BBCCE’ for my prelims. I would verbally confess over the exam papers before sitting for them and anoint the pages with the anointing oil. After the exams, I just felt so peaceful, despite not being able to do some questions in the Maths and Economics papers. I decided to just trust in God.
When the results were released, I found out I was the top Arts student in my school with eight distinctions! I had scored four ‘A’s for my H2-level subjects, a Distinction for my H3-level subject, as well as three ‘A’s for General Paper, Project Work and Chinese. I was so shocked! God is such a great giver to give us exceedingly, abundantly, and more than we can ask for or imagine! Truthfully, I also realised that results don’t matter. God’s love for me is not based on my results but Jesus’ finished work, and it is His favour alone that will open doors for me. I really look forward to a great university life filled with Jesus!
