spring board to initiate my vault. I had hit the springboard so hard, and my timing was so off because I
wasn’t concentrating on what I was doing, that I flew over the vaulting horse upside down without even
being able to reach it to push off and upright myself for landing. I landed hard on my head and neck
on the mat on the other side of the horse. When I got up I was dizzy and my neck hurt. Of course, my
coach was very concerned. She saw what had happened, but I told her I would be fine so she just
asked me to sit and rest for a while. I noticed as I sat and rested that when I raised my left arm my
fingers tingled and I was afraid that I had seriously hurt my neck.
As I sat there I realized that I had been injured because of my own willfulness and anger. I began to
pray, “Father-Mother God, Thy will be done.” I knew that the perfect creator would never create a child
who was willful or angry and I wanted to represent my perfect inner child that God had spiritually
created. I wanted to better express godlike qualities.
When I went home that night I told my mom what had happened and we both prayed about it. My
family had many healings through prayer over the years and Momma and I were confident that this
would be healed quickly through prayer too.
When I awoke in the morning my neck still hurt, but as I continued to pray I realized that I needed to be
more obedient and kind. When I went to school that morning I sincerely apologized to my coach for
acting so nasty. By the time we had practice that afternoon, I could move freely, painlessly, without
tingling or fear. I was so grateful for this quick healing and the genuine humbleness I felt.
