Walking and dancing again
Words fail to express my gratitude to Father-Mother God for a healing I had not long ago. In September 2011, I was walking on the side of the road at night with a friend, and as I got out of the way of fast-moving cars that were making a left-hand turn, I fell very hard over a speed breaker, or speed bump, and onto my right ankle. I lifted myself up with great difficulty and my ankle area was severely swollen. I immediately began praying, knowing that I was upright, pure, and free and that I was not going to surrender to the suggestions of “animal magnetism,” or a supposed power apart from God, that was trying to say otherwise.
My friend and I came inside my house, and I called a Christian Science practitioner for prayerful help. The practitioner told me that I could only “fall” into God’s arms and that I could not be hurt.
Because I could not even change and wear my night clothes due to the pain and swelling, I decided to go to bed in my jeans. I could not get to sleep, and I called the practitioner again, who continued helping me through prayer.
