是的，我相信奇蹟。

從小，每當我肚子痛、身體不舒服或東西找不到的時候，我就會禱告。每次禱告之後，不久肚子就不痛了，身體也恢復健康，連找不到的東西也會出現。我一直相信，那是上帝在幫助我。

我的爸爸媽媽雖然不是基督徒，但爸爸常鼓勵我們去教會。每個主日早上，他會從保險箱裡拿一些錢，讓我們帶去教會奉獻。成長的過程中，上帝一直是我最大的依靠，也讓我經歷過許多奇蹟。其中最大的奇蹟，就是我能夠來美國留學。

當時我爸爸做生意失敗，家裡沒有錢供我出國。但媽媽的三妹答應當我的財務保證人，所以我大學最後一年就積極準備出國留學，考托福、申請學校，請老師寫推薦信。就當我拿到入學許可，要去在台協會辦簽證時，我阿姨突然改變主意，不願意為我作保。我的出國夢破碎，只好去會計事務所工作。但在那一年內，我仍然不氣餒，一直禱告求主幫助我達成願望，希望能申請到獎學金。在那個年代，即使今天也是一樣，只有物理，化學，文學等理論性的科系能申請到獎學金。商學系根本不可能有獎學金。但我一直禱告、也相信身會開路。

有一次，我一位大學同班同學打電話給我，問我要不要陪她去探望一位從美國回來的朋友。我們三人都是同校，同系，但不很熟，然而我還是跟著去了。

聊天時，美國回來的同學提到她在美國一所以高分子（Polymer science ）聞名的學校念書，還申請到了會計獎學金。她是因為她姐夫姐姐都在那個學校，所以申請了同一學校，比較有伴。

那是我從未聽過、也從未想過能有獎學金的學校。回家後，我立刻去查詢並提出申請，一邊努力準備資料，一邊持續禱告。

幾個月後，我收到通知，竟然真的獲得了全額獎學金！不但學費全免，每個月還有幾百塊美金的收入，我激動得跪在地上，感謝神的恩典。

來美國後，因爲我是研究獎學金，工作是一星期工作幾小時，幫一位教授作研究。

奇妙的是，我的教授竟是一位虔誠的基督徒 ，他要我研究的主要主題是‘教會會計’。因為教會會計沒太多複雜的理論，所以我工作非常輕鬆，有許多時間作我自己的功課。我的獎學金不僅支付了學費，還包括每月生活費與房租。那兩年，我幾乎沒有任何經濟負擔，我當年到美國身上只帶了幾百美元，就這樣平安完成了學業。這一切，完全超過了人的計劃，我知道那是上帝的奇蹟。

當然，這樣的神跡在我生活中還有很多。

我記得有一次開車經過火車平交道，平常都會有柵欄放下來，可那天竟然沒有！我一邊開車、一邊和姐姐講話，突然看到火車從前面飛馳而過，嚇得我立刻猛踩煞車，車子剛好停在鐵軌前。那一瞬間我全身發抖，只能不斷感謝主保守。隔天我特地又回去看，發現那天的確是唯一一次柵欄沒放下來，我更加確信這是神救了我。

還有一次，我在煮麵時接到朋友來電，要載我去拿修好的車。出門太急，忘了關瓦斯火。當我拿到車，正開往回家路上，忽然想起我瓦斯上還在燒水，我非常緊張害怕，因為離家還有二十幾分鐘車程，我拼命禱告求主保守。

等我趕回家打開門，只見鍋裡的水幾乎乾了，卻沒有燒焦或起火——再晚一步可能就釀成大禍。我跪下來感謝神，知道這又是一個祂親自的保守。

這些經歷讓我確信，奇蹟並不只存在於聖經故事中，是在我們每一個願意相信、願意禱告的日常裡。

對我而言，信心本身，就是奇蹟開始的地方。

Do you believe in miracles?

Yes, I believe in miracles.

Since I was little, whenever I had a stomachache, felt unwell, or lost something, I would pray. Not long after praying, the pain would go away, my body would feel better, and even the lost things would be found. I have always believed that it was God helping me.

Although my parents are not Christians, my father often encouraged us to go to church. Every Sunday morning, he would take some money from the safe and tell us to bring it to church as an offering. Throughout my growing years, God has always been my greatest support and has allowed me to experience many miracles.

The greatest miracle of all was my journey to study in the United States.

At that time, my father’s business had failed, and our family had no money for me to study abroad. My mother’s youngest sister had agreed to be my financial guarantor, so during my last year of college, I worked hard preparing for graduate study overseas — taking the TOEFL, applying to schools, and asking professors for recommendation letters. However, just when I received an admission letter and was about to apply for my visa at the American Institute in Taiwan, my aunt suddenly changed her mind and refused to be my sponsor. My dream of studying abroad was shattered. I had no choice but started working at an accounting firm, but I did not lose hope. I kept praying, asking God to help me achieve my dream and to open a way for me to receive a scholarship.

At that time, and even now, scholarships were usually offered only to students in fields like physics, chemistry, or literature — never business. Because there are more things to research in those areas than in business . But I kept praying and believing that God would make a way.

One day, my college classmate Jenny called and asked if I wanted to visit her friend Yue, who had just returned from the U.S. I had met Yue once or twice but didn’t know her well, yet I decided to go.

During our conversation, Yue mentioned that she had been studying in university of Akron in Ohio major in accounting. She said U of Akron is famous for its program in Polymer Science . Her brother in law went there for a PHD in Polymer Science and her sister went with her brother in law so she decided to go there too . Yue and I are from the same school , same year , same department in college , but her sub major was international business and mine was accounting so we don’t take classes together and don’t know each other much . Yue told us she had received a scholarship there. It was a school I had never heard of, nor had I ever imagined that such a scholarship could exist. After I went home, I immediately looked it up, submitted my application, prepared all the required documents, and continued to pray earnestly.

Half a year later, I received a letter from the university stating that I had been awarded a full scholarship! Not only was my tuition completely covered, but I also received several hundred dollars each month as a stipend. I was so overwhelmed that I knelt on the floor and thanked God for His amazing grace.

When I arrived in the U.S., I learned that my scholarship was a research assistantship, requiring me to work several hours a week for a professor. To my surprise, my professor turned out to be a devoted Christian. The topic he assigned to me was church accounting! Since it wasn’t a complex subject, my workload was light, and I had plenty of time to study.

My scholarship covered my tuition, housing, and living expenses. During those two years, I had almost no financial burden. I came to America with only a few hundred dollars, yet I completed my degree peacefully and without lacking anything. All of this went far beyond human planning — I knew it was truly God’s miracle.

Of course, there have been many other miracles in my life as well.

I still remember once driving through a railroad crossing. Normally, there would always be a barrier that came down whenever a train passed. But that day, the barrier did not lower! I was chatting with my sister on phone as I drove when suddenly a train rushed past right in front of me. I slammed on the brakes just in time, stopping right before the tracks. My whole body trembled as I kept thanking the Lord for His protection. The next day, I went back to check, and sure enough, it was the only time that barrier had ever failed to come down. I knew God had saved me.

Another time, I was boiling water to cook noodles when a friend came to pick me up to get my car back from the repair shop. I left in a hurry and completely forgot to turn off the gas stove. On the way back home—after being away for nearly 30 minutes—I suddenly remembered the pot still on the stove. It was 15 minutes away from home when I suddenly thought of it . My heart pounded, and I prayed desperately for God’s protection all the way home.

When I opened the door, I found the water had almost completely boiled away, yet the pot hadn’t burned, and no fire had started. If I had returned just a few minutes later, it could have been a disaster. I immediately knelt down and thanked God for His mercy and protection once again.

These experiences have made me firmly believe that miracles do not only exist in Bible stories. They also happen in the lives of those who are willing to believe and to pray.

For me, faith itself is where miracles begin.
