My name is Jacquelyn, and I am ten

My name is Jacquelyn, and I am ten. I go to Sunday School regularly.

About two years ago, when I was playing, I fell down on the marble floor in our hallway. After that, my back started to hurt. By Friday it hurt so bad that I was crying, and the school nurse called my dad, and he came and took me home.

My mom and dad were praying for me, and so was a practitioner. She talked to me on the telephone and told me that the hurt was like a Halloween costume. When I take off the costume, there is the real me. The hurt was only pretending to be part of me. I could find the real me, made in God's image and likeness, His perfect child, and be free of the hurt.
