When I was a senior in high school, I was eagerly looking forward to my college experience. Then, unexpectedly, the person who had agreed to finance my education passed on, and I had saved only enough to take care of my tuition and other expenses for about two years. As I sought guidance from God, this statement by Mrs. Eddy was brought to my attention (Science and Health, p. 494), "Divine Love always has met and always will meet every human need," with special emphasis on the final word "need."

I saw that I really needed closer association with the Father, divine Love, and that He would meet my need. While I was thinking along this line, someone recommended that I apply for a scholarship, since several were available; but I rejected the proposal because I did not consider my marks to be high enough. It was then lovingly pointed out that I was accepting limitation, and since I had earnestly sought God's guidance, it was not right to reject any of the ideas He presented.

Accordingly, I applied for several scholarships, only to find that I was ineligible for each one except one which was available to all entering as freshmen, and there were about twelve hundred of us. However, I continued to know that my need would be met as long as I tried to live in accord with divine Principle, God.
