The study of Christian Science has transformed, enriched, and uplifted my life. It is truly gratifying to find a religion that brings God close, illumines the Bible, explains man and the universe clearly, and demonstrates the teachings of Christ Jesus.

In the past four years I have had healings of sprains, influenza, and infection. Dental needs have been met through prayer. Especially inspiring to me has been the working out of employment, which continues to be an ongoing unfoldment of new ideas and rewarding activity.

About three years ago I felt I wanted to leave the teaching profession, and I prayed for direction. That year I had taught a very difficult class. Although much progress had been made, there were apparently more lessons I needed to learn; consequently, I felt guided to stay on in the school. As the new school term approached, I was apprehensive about the group of pupils I would be teaching next, since they had an unpleasant reputation. At that point I realized I needed to straighten out my thought. Otherwise, I would be in for an even more eventful year than the previous one! The references in the writings of Mrs. Eddy on children, control, trust, and obedience offered reassurance. By the time school opened, my fear had been replaced with quiet confidence, joyful expectancy of good, and an eagerness to express Godlike qualities in this work. As a result I had the most harmonious year ever, with a very responsive class.
