Still Trusting God | Ericaism

I went to prayer yesterday at Cali worship and I went to prayer after leaving the Doctor office to check on my knee. I fell down the stairs maybe two weeks ago it was the 7th, the 7th of February, right before Valentine’s. And the first week it wasn’t so bad. Went through Valentine’s Day, I was super happy that I was able to still have a good Valentine’s Day, even though my knees jacked up.
And then, you know, last weekend was the NAACP Image Awards. And so I was in heels all night Friday, all day. Saturday. So Sunday my knee was on fire and but it was heritage Sunday. So there’s a video that’s going around of me playing tambourine with these heels on just a stomping and walking. Baby on Monday, Mommy told me off you. Hear me, mommy. You better sit your behind down. And the doctor told me that you know it’s nothing is broken, but there could possibly be a torn ligament.

I have to get an MRI, blah, blah blah, that kind of stuff. I still went to prayer. I went to prayer and I was happy that I went to prayer service. I’m still encouraged and I know that God is a healer, but I also know that, you know, with age, you know, your body just responds differently. This been in my 40s, I’d probably be over it and not even talking about it. It’s a different season of my life. But there was a lot of young people at prayer and I was super happy because I was able to tell them how to persevere and how to push and how not to lose faith just because.
You’re going through something, and so you know, a few of them came up and gave me a hug after service. And I think it’s super cool because that used to be me. That used to be me going to prayer meetings with my Aunt Theresa hoping and wishing that I would become something when what am I going to sing for real? When am I not just singing in church? I mean that used to be me, so I’m glad that God allows me to even go through my storms and use them as a testimony for this younger generation.
