Friends & Family Have Your Back!

This was written by my 10 year old daughter, Callie! I love the way she is having her own "teachable moments" with her Savior. She inspires me!

Friends and family will always have your back when you’re in tough times. A few years ago I broke my arm carrying my little brother Caleb, I tripped on the concrete and Caleb’s head fell on my arm. His head hit the concrete but he didn’t get a concussion. I had to put ice on my arm while tears were running down my face. It felt so bad.

The next day I went to Medac with my mom and brothers. I got a sling for my arm and it was terrible because school was starting soon. I was going in the 1^st grade and my teacher was Mrs. Ramsey. She was so nice! My best friend Mia was also in my class. Mia gave be a stuffed bear that had a sling on its right arm like it and mine had BROWNIES taped to it!!! My first day of school with a broken arm was pretty good because I was with my best friends in the whole wide world GOD and Mia! God took care of me, Mia made me feel better the whole entire day! A few weeks later I had to have surgery to correct my arm. I was so nervous I couldn’t stop shaking.

Before I went into surgery, Pastor Jimmie and my family prayed with me that God would keep me safe. My mom wrote Psalm 23 on a piece of paper and I took that with me into surgery. My surgery lasted 2 full hours and everyone in my family was in the waiting room. But when I got out of surgery I was so, so tired because I took that sleeping medicine that I had to take. They had to wheel me out to the car in a wheelchair. That was my very first time in a wheelchair! I had 10 or 15 stitches and a pin in my arm.

When I got home my dad carried me upstairs and I went straight to sleep with my mom! A week later I got my stitches out and it hurt so bad. The pin didn’t hurt at all but the stitches hurt. I had to go to a place where they had to help me stretch my arm so I could get it to go straight. It worked after about a month. Then my arm got better but I felt happy because lots of people prayed for me!!!

After that whole experience I learned that friends and family always have your back and that God is always with me!
