In October 1965 I had a healing in Christian Science that has greatly blessed me. A lump appeared in my breast. I knew from the beginning that I could prove my freedom from this condition. However, many fearful suggestions appeared in my thought: incurability, the seriousness of the situation, and self-pity. The realization that I was God's idea, under no penalty, brought a great sense of relief. For many hours each day I studied all the references on "fear" in the Concordances to Mrs. Eddy's writings, for she shows we must overcome that first. (See Science and Health 411:27–28). Paul's words were helpful (II Cor. 12:10), "I take pleasure in infirmities ... for Christ's sake." I saw I could pray over this with joy, even though there seemed little to be joyful about.

I felt I had to face my concern with regard to heredity. I knew in Christian Science I could find the answer. The belief of the disease must be healed, once and for all! I had always loved God. Therefore, I didn't accept that God had sent iniquity from generation to generation. He had healed me many times, and I knew I could trust Him in this situation.
