to God be the glory
What were we feeling and thinking as we saw our eldest son graduate with a B.A. in history? Well we were thinking of the specialist who said he would be “gong gong” and another, the head of pediatrics, who constantly prepared us to send him to special school because of Josh’s “severe brain damage”. So you can imagine 
how grateful to God we were when he walked across the stage and received his diploma.
During the four years in NUS he had blossomed academically and spiritually and as a person. It seemed there were two other major impacts on his life besides the church. One would be his involvement in Campus Crusade for Christ, a Christian campus ministry that provided support as well as avenues of service so he could develop in Christ. The second was a popular and respected history
professor, Lockhart, a devout Christian, who in my books would be a hero, because he had a deep sense of call in his profession as a lecturer and mentor to many, and he fulfilled it diligently and with excellence. He was salt and light out where it was badly needed: in the darkness and lostness of university life. Joshua was one of the blessed ones to have him as a mentor.
God gave us a promise to hold on to at his traumatic birth and its aftermath: “God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think.” (Eph 3:20). God is faithful!
