God is always with me

Maya

When I was at camp last summer, I had a really important healing.

My friend Rachel and I went swimming in a pool that was 11 to 12 feet deep. Rachel was teaching me how to touch the bottom of the pool. When I finally touched the bottom, I was so happy that I did it over and over again. But all of a sudden my ears started popping because of the pressure at the bottom.

After I got out of the pool, I went to the square and rock dance. But then my ears were hurting a lot. So I asked my counselor if I could go see the Christian Science practitioner. She took me to him, and we sat together quietly and prayed. The practitioner told me that God is always with me, and that He is my shield. This helped me feel safe and comforted.
