Hi Guys, my name is Robin, I come from HK. I am from this lovely and supporting group of J5, And I am doing veterinary science in UQ, for those who do not know what that is, that means doctor for animals, Today I would like to share even how God have changed my life, but before I start my story, I would like to tell you a little bit about the education system in HK. In HK, there are 7 yrs of secondary schooling, and at the 5^th year, which is form 5, there are a period of open exams called HKCEE, which is similar to O level, and then, if your result is satisfactory to proceed, there is an A level at the end of the 7^th year. And for my case, although I tried very hard, I still wasn’t good enough to proceed to Form 6, I was just a little behind the standard and for that reason I wasn’t able to continue my study in the same school, I didn’t want to study in other secondary school because that is not going to be a good option as I could only get into schools that are worse than the one I used to be in, and I reached a point where I decided to just start working instead of continue on studying, but thank God for my wonderful mother, she pursued her attempt, and she tried every sources just to get information to find a way out for my situation.

With God’s blessing, she managed to find UQ foundation which was willing to offer my enrolment in Brisbane. And that’s why I am in Australia today, And through that I entered Uni one year earlier than my other friends in HK, isn’t that amazing?. And after 1 yr or so, some friends of mine who have been attending Hope Brisbane Christian Church, which is this church, invited me to live group. At 1^st I didn’t want to go, but my dear friends kept inviting me, so one day I decided to just give it a try JUST becoz I feel bad rejecting him so many time, and, this is the interesting bits, because of my poor English back then…….I accepted Christ without truly understanding what it really means….so of coz I didn’t continue to join them and didn’t go to church, however, about 1 yr down the track, God put me in a situation where I was filled with heart-brokenness and regrets. I was walking from my house, which was in St.lucia, to coronation drive bikeway with tears on my face, and that day was when God started to turn my life to Him. And a brother I met in LG b4, whose name is Rayson, he is my dear shepherd now btw, happened to drive pass me and he felt a prompting from God to go back and find me, and amazingly, somehow he knew I was at coronation drive bikeway!! He was waiting in front of me and He came to talk to me, and I talked to him about my situation, I felt so much better after talking to him, and since then I started to give open my heart to God. And from that day onward God kept directing me to Him, the most significant experience with God was at OC 2007, a convention which is organised by our church, I truly experienced God’s love and His presence was so strong, I remember, I couldn’t stop crying during that particular worship night, and from that point onward, I start to come to church regularly and decided to follow Him wholeheartedly.

I want to finish off my testimony with this verse, jeremiah 29:11,” For I know the plan I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, to give you hope and a future.” brothers and sisters, this verse truly is God’s promise, which is never failing, He planned all these things to happen in my life, from 5yrs ago, where I had no choice but to come to Australia to study, from someone who couldn’t get into any Uni in Hk, to someone who is doing this specialist courses in UQ, and Praise God He helped me through my degree, (I am in 4^th year now by the way), and to where I was walking in Coronation drive bikeway and God changed my life, and. Everything was in His plan, and as the verse have said, it is for our good, to give us hope and a future, therefore, bro and sis, you might be complaining about your situation right now, but I encourage you to trust in God’s plan because it is always the best for us!!! Thank you!
