Trust in God (do you have it?)

Hey!! sorry ah...very long never post cause my mum don't allow me to come online...hmmm...haha=)
Oh!! do you rmb what i said in the previous post about trust, the one that Pastor prayed for me and God gave me the word "trust" through him to me?
Today, i am going to talk about trust!

On mon night, my family had some time for sharing session and for prayers.
My mum shared with us about the sermon on Sun...
It really inspired me alot because what she said was about trust! cool right?!
hmmm..anws, one of the story is that there is this book named as "HEY GOD!" if you all interested in it, can go and buy..
the author of this book wrote this book because he is inspired by his mother!
So, the story is that their family is kinda poor kind...then hor, his father is a very hot-tempered person...
One day, he brought back 5 friends and ask the mother to cook italian noodles (because they are italians) the mother went back into the kitchen and found out that she onli has one hand full of noodles and there is a need to feed like 11 ppl! (cause got the 5 ppl+herself+father+children)
And she has to cook cause if not she will get a scolding from her husband...
Because of her great amounts of trust in God, she knelt down and prayed...
Then, she stood up and boil the water and place the noodles in and stir....while stirring, she was singing songs and praising God...
Then, she layed out 11 plates...and fill the plates one by one with the noodles....
She managed to fill all the plates and still have extra noodles!!
God not only provides just the right amount that is sufficient, he also gives us extra!
Oh! and somemore sun night and mon afternoon when i am doing my quiet time, i read 2 stories, matthew chap 14 verse 13 to 21 (five thousand fed) and matthew chap 15 verse 32 to 39 (four thousand fed).
For all those who don't have a bible, these two verses states how God can use just 5 loaves and 2 fishes to feed 5 thousand ppl and 7 loaves and a few small fish to feed 4 thousand ppl! God miraculously multiplied the food to feed everyone!
Don't you think it is amazing?
My first reaction is "huh? really meh? sure not?" when i first hear the story
i doubted..
And this shows how much i trust in God...it is very difficult for me to trust in God because i am scared that i trust in God too much (like for him to do certain miracles) but he don't perform it, i will be very disappointed and lose faith...thats why i still struggle with the fact that i need to trust..
How about you?

The other story that my mother talked about is about this man, he is a christian and he is on the way to china to attend some seminar relating to God (all the other pastors going there also)..
It is like a one time opportunity thing...and he knows God wants him there...
one the way there, he was prepared to stay in quite a broken down place..he wasn't expecting a hotel or anything (because he was thinking that they wouldn't waste money on these but on helping others and spreading God's word)...but when he reach, the christians from that country, hosting this seminar thingy brought him to a hotel!
And the hotel is a 5 star one somemore!
when he look out of the window from his room, he can see the Whole city landscape! (he even brought the pic to show) he was staying on the seventy something storey..
When he came down, he ask one of the organiser like why let him stay in this kind of high class hotel?
Guess what the organiser say?
He said " we cannot mistreat God's people."
When i heared that, i was like "WO!"
God's ppl are very impt. They are more important than anyother human being on earth! So i am proud to be one too!
Anw, on his stay there, his wife called him and told him that his son had fever and he already had high fever for like 4 days!
If it is already so serious, i believe that any other human being would have rushed back to Singapore and take care of the son.
But, he trusted God. He knows that since God want him here, he will take good care of the family.
He prayed and kept his full attention on the seminar...
Until the 5th day, his wife called him and told him she sent his son to the hospital...
And he asked his wife to place him into the one bed kind of hospital room...(cause he is like a small little boy and will tend to make noise)
Later on, his wife realise that the hospital do not provide such a service..
She asked the doctors that if possible, placed him in a single bed room..
However, one of the doctors placed him in a special room..
When he got back to Singapore, he went to the hospital to visit his son..he realise that his son is in a room that is so unlike a one bedded room...it is so much nicer!
He ask one of the nurse what room is his son in, the nurse said he is in a suite!
He got shocked cause one night in the suite costs 460 dollars!
He thought to himself "wah, i stay in luxury hotel, my son also must stay in luxury hospital, somemore mine is sponsered"
He didn't blame his wife because it is not easy to handle so many things on her own..
Thank God his son only need to stay for a night..
However, he was bugged by the cost he had to pay...but he placed his trust in the Lord and know that he will settle everything for him..
And really, God settled it!
How?
His wife's company got some medical claim that she can collect for herself as well as for her children's hospitalisation fees...(not all companies have such a previlage)..
She asked the company like how much can she claim for her child like maximum,
they said 460 dollars exactly!
So cool right?

I am sure there are many stories that many others have and i also have somemore just that i cannot really rmb...
All in all, as long as you place your trust in God, like a full kind of trust, he will take care of everything...
Trust is not something that you want then you will get..it is something that you need to pray for and ask the Holy Spirit to help you have trust and not to doubt..
As long as one have trust, i am sure that one will not fear nor worry as you will know that God will take care of everything..

GOD BLESS YOU!!
