Breakthrough
By God's Grace.
1st ACE(Accelerated Christian Program) Graduate in Nanyang Technological University in Singapore.(Her testimony)
I'm really thankful for the opportunity to glorify God. He's been so good to me.
I graduated in March this year, gladly, yet a little wistfully, because Calvary Academy(CA) was like a second home. That sense of belonging, that feeling of security, is something I haven't found elsewhere.
The supervisors didn't stop at being supervisors; they were supporters, counselors and friends. The Christian environment helped me grow in my walk in God. Everything taught us more about him- the PACEs, chapel services, discipleship classes. When I became a worship leader and discipleship class teacher, I sought God even more. The years in CA were intertwined with times spent in God's presence, knowing His love, peace and faithfulness a bit more. It was then I learned to completely depend on him; then I learned that God is everything I need and that when I commit my self to him, I am in good hands. When I make God my focus, He will provide everything else. "Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and HIs righteousness, and all things will be added unto you."
My parents taught me to trust God for a higher education. Everyday, we'd pray and claim a university education, positively confessing it would happen and ignoring people's negative comments. I applied to all three Universities in Singapore using a transcript of my grades from NCSC(National Christian School's Certificate) from the United Kingdom, my SAT 1 results, and testimonials from my church and school.
In May, I was called for an interview in NTU. Praise God! During the interview I wrote an essay, thanking God for all the training I had from the ACE's English Curriculum, and blessed it in Jesus' name before handing it in. Glory to God, the professor liked it! The rest of the interview went well, with the professor asking a few questions about ACE. I thank God for his favour and blessing!
I've been in NTU for a month noe, studying English literature. It's different from the ACE curriculum and yet in some ways the same. I find the writing class quite easy because of our strong grammar foundation and the composition electives I took. It's till quite an adjustment, but I'm trusting God to lead me through. I know He will. Because He's awesome! By Tansey Tng
After reading her testimony, the doubts that clouded my hope of a future in the University started to clear. It was as if God was speaking to me through her testimony, assuring me that it's not impossible and that all things are possible with Him.
It has been three years since i started homeschool, yet it was only today that i finally believed that it was God's will for me. For three years, i doubted and feared that i would not have a future as bright as my friends who are in public school. But now, i see finally see a future within my grasp. I'm confident and more determined to complete my homeschool studies now. No matter how rocky the road may be, i'm going to focus on God and depend on him to provide the best future He wants for me.
As 2007 nears, i cant help but feel excited to start it. I have a new perspective of homeschool now. Next year, i have a bigger challenge. I'm going to try my best to finish the NCSC level 2 in one year. To me, it'll take a miracle for that to happen since i took 2 years to complete level 1. Level 2 will be harder. But i'm going to trust Him for the impossible. I'm gonna work harder than i've ever worked before. I'm not going to spend my time worrying about my future. Let tommorrow worry for itself. Taking one day at a time, I'm hoping and believing and praying that one day God will grant my heart's desire for a higher education.
