One day on the way to school I came to a four-way stop and stopped. When I started up on my bicycle, I hit the left front of a car that had driven into the middle of the intersection. I flipped and hit my head on the car's windshield and fell to the ground. But I immediately popped back up and said, "Thank you, God." I was fine.

Both the high-school boy driving the car and I were OK, even though his car was dented and my bike twisted. A policeman helped us exchange information. When my parents came and told the policeman that I was not hurt, he felt nobody needed to be given a ticket. The boy and his father were worried about me. But my mother told them I was fine, that we had prayed that morning, and that our prayer had protected me. They agreed that this must be so, and when I left to go on to school they said, "Keep up the praying."
