My healing was complete
On a summer night at camp, who doesn’t love a good campfire? The crackling wood smells good, and the light is beautiful. But what I didn’t expect on the night of our campfire was that I couldn’t tolerate the smoke. As the fire grew to fill the firepit, and the smoke got denser, I realized I was having trouble breathing.
My friends noticed that I was struggling and advised me to speak with a Christian Science practitioner who was there at camp with us, since this was a camp for Christian Scientists. I talked with the practitioner, and he reminded me that God is the supreme power, which means God is not only all-power but the only power.
Although this was helpful, by the time I got back to my cabin, I felt worse. It was late, and I couldn’t sleep because I was worried that my labored breathing would affect my sleep.
