When your circumstance favors you, it's easy to trust God. But this life isn't like disneyland where it will always be enchanting.
One morning, (I usually wake up not early in the morning, I feel like I am a night-shifter. I work late.) I was awaken by my aunt, (Michelle, Michelle!) and so with my panic, I went down as fast as I could, like the flash! I went down and what I saw broke my heart.
My mom's knee. She bumped into our sofa.
There is no other thing that pains me more than seeing my mom not okay. (That is why I am rushing to finish this because she does not want me to stay late at the office.) The first thought that came to me when I saw her knee up its usual place is, I am not a doctor. My sister was out on duty and I don't know what to do. My aunt panicking and my mom's face cannot be painted, doesn't have an idea how to curl her whole leg up.
I didn't do anything. It was all the Lord. All praise to Him. We thanked the Lord. I may not know what to do, but God knows.
It was a wake up call literally and figuratively for me to trust Him and to pray more. To come to Him. Because I don't hold this world. I don't hold the heart of anybody. I am not in control of anything.
Disney came from my disciple who got an injury in her knee so we called it this knee (DISNEY) and that knee. It helps to have sisters-in-Christ whom you could be accountable with and whom you could cry and laugh together with.
I will rejoice in the Lord whatever happens. He wants the best for me. I may not understand it now but I know that He loves me so much. Praise be to the Lord.
He is our Potter and we are the clay. Wehave no right to question Him on what He is doing because His will is good, acceptable and perfect. I may be in pain right now but it would be better for me to suffer knowing that this is the Lord's will to bring me in this heat to mold me than to be outside of the 'pugon' and not enjoy His presence.
It won't always be a disneyland experience but it will always be a happily ever after because of what Jesus has done on the cross to pay for the penalty of our sins and for us to be reconciled to Him and spend eternity with Him in Heaven, praising and glorifying Him. As the children's song says:

Dear God, Your will not mine. I surrender. You have Your way in me whatever You want. Sorry for manipulating and worrying. Help me to trust in You and use me mightily where You will lead me. Sorry for not thinking of what is true and pleasing to You. Thank You that You are my God. And I am secure in You. Thank You, Lord, I surrender.

I prayed. I prayed aloud. I have no control in this. I don't know what to do. This is not what I studied in college. I know numbers but not knees. So, we went on our knees.Before I finished my prayer, the knee went back to its place. *hands off to God*
I didn't do anything. It was all the Lord. All praise to Him. We thanked the Lord. I may not know what to do, but God knows.
Why is it hard for us to trust Him who wants the best for us? (This was from my disciple.)
Whatever the Lord wills, so be it.

Jesus loves me! This I know,
For the Bible tells me so;
Little ones to Him belong,
They are weak but He is strong.
Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me!
The Bible tells me so.
Jesus loves me! He who died,
Heaven's gate to open wide;
He will wash away my sin,
Let His little child come in.
Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me!
The Bible tells me so.
Jesus loves me! loves me still,
When I'm very weak and ill;
From His shining throne on high,
Comes to watch me where I lie.
Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me!
The Bible tells me so.
Jesus loves me! He will stay,
Close beside me all the way;
He's prepared a home for me,
And some day His face I'll see.
Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me!
The Bible tells me so.
