A cool healing

I had a cool healing when I was skiing in Utah. I was in ski school, and our group was on a blue (intermediate) trail. I was in the front of the line of kids and we were coming to a really high jump. My teacher said, “A lot of you aren’t up for this, so don’t try it.” But I thought I was up to it. I skied into the jump, and after I went over the top, one of my skis got caught in the snow. I fell. I was lying face down on my belly with my skis behind me. The tip of one of my skis was pointing at the sky, and my leg was getting twisted. I was crying because it hurt a lot. 

Then three ski patrol workers came to get me, and they drove me down the mountain. They wanted to take me to the doctor, but I just wanted to pray and be healed. I was praying a lot and these were some of my thoughts: 

1. God is always with me, so there’s no room for hurt.
