I was getting ready to give a riding lesson and leading my horse from his stall when two barn cats erupted into a screaming fight. This spooked my horse. He jumped forward, losing his balance, and all four feet went out from under him. He fell into me, sending me headfirst into a door jamb. I found myself lying on the ground, stunned but conscious, with two huge swellings on my head. I gathered my thoughts and affirmed that I could not be hurt—that there is one cause and effect—God, good. 

My friend who owns the barn was very concerned. A year prior to this, she’d had a brain bleed from a fall and had to be airlifted to a hospital. She strongly advised me to go to the emergency room. I reasoned that since this occurred on her property, it was the considerate thing to do. I knew that wherever I am, God is with me and governing the situation. 

As she drove me to the hospital, the thoughts that came to me were about power. There seemed to have been such a powerful hit with possibly powerful consequences. But I affirmed that there is only one power—God, who is Love, Life, and Spirit. Nothing can challenge that power.
