My Dream

It is my dream to be a doctor.

Deep in each of our hearts, we all have a dream. And God, our dream-giver will surely help us fulfill that dream! And because I want to be a doctor, I applied for NUS medicine. Last year, I was rejected but they sent me a letter to tell me that I can apply again this year. So, I decided to apply once again! haha. And guess what? I received an email to tell me that my application was unsuccessful.

Honestly, I am disappointed. But I wasn't as disappointed as I thought I would be. Instead, there's a certain part of me that's thankful that I didn't get in. Cos I know that God has the best plan for me!

"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to His purpose."
[Romans 8:28]

"For I know the plans I have for you," declared The Lord. "Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." [Jeremiah 29:11]

And I sincerely acknowledged before God that being a doctor is my dream and will always be a dream of mine. But I choose to surrender this dream to God... whether I can fulfill it in this lifetime or not, it doesn't really matter. Because there is a greater desire within me - the desire to honour God in all that I do. My prayer is that as long as I can glorify His name wherever I am, it is all that matters to me.

As I made that prayer to God, I sensed God smiling down from heaven, telling me that I have passed the test. I have passed the test of choosing to give thanks in all circumstances, of choosing to rejoice and dwell on His truth regardless of the situations I'm in. And I believe that I have grown stronger emotionally as well - to not place my significance on whether I pass/fail but to place my significance in Him who loves me for who I am. =) So I thank God for not getting into medicine this time. hehs.

I will continue to place my HOPE in Him who loves me. Because He who loves me is a faithful God. =)

"But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he already has? But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently." {Romans 8:24-25]
