My Testimony

By Alexis Cundiff

When I was eight years old, September 16, 2001. I was at a friends house across the street from mine. My friend asked me to get some dolls. I was getting ready to cross the street and next thing I knew everything was dark. I thought I was imagining things. I can still remember what it felt like when I tried to get up and fell to the ground. When I opened my eyes everything looked blurry and the boy was standing against his car with his arms crossed and he looked angry. My friend went to get my mom. I had road burn on my left elbow, my right leg and my forehead.

I could not feel in my legs, they were completely numb. I remember telling my mom, "everything will be O.K.". On the ambulance everything looked weird. When they gave me a shot I couldn't feel it, but I was not scared, I had the peace of God on the inside of me. I could hear my mom crying in the front seat. I kept on saying to her "its gonna be O.K.".

There was a big gash in my left knee and my ankle was cracked. At the hospital I tried to fall asleep because I knew they were going to do surgery. My younger brother had stitches on his forehead while he was awake, I thought it would be the same for me. I lost one of my earrings, I never found it. I was in this room and one of my Sunday School teachers came in before surgery and gave me a stuffed lion, and the doctors put a hospital band on it, and its still on today. When I went into surgery they put this thing on and it smelled good. They told me to count and I counted all the way to seventy-three and fell asleep with my lion.

It felt like only two minutes when I finally woke up, but it was four hours until I woke up. I was in there for three days and was healed in six weeks. They told my mom that I may have not been back on my feet until January! But in November 2001 I was in physical therapy and walked by myself and right to my mother. From a wheelchair to a walker to moving all on my own!

I may still have the scar on my left knee and the little bit of road burn on my right leg, but that never stops me from moving around or telling the miracle of how God healed me to do what I do today.
