The study of Christian Science has brought me much peace and joy. Our family was introduced to this teaching through the love and faithful example of my mother.

Recently I found more satisfying and remunerative employment. Trained as a librarian, I had for many months sought work in my field. But, as almost two years had elapsed and no suitable job had appeared, I took up course work for a teaching credential at a nearby university. As I studied the weekly Bible Lessons in the Christian Science Quarterly, I saw that as God's expression I was worthy of His care. I knew that through the activity of the Christ there would be a harmonious adjustment in my employment situation. During this waiting period I prayed for more patience and learned to trust God.

I had hoped for employment with either of two fine companies in my city, but neither had openings at the time I applied. Then one day, unexpectedly, a dear friend called me at work to say that her company had an opening for another librarian. I interviewed for this job during my lunch hour and was offered the position that very afternoon. Without a bit of hesitation, the personnel officer agreed to the salary I asked for. As taking this job would prohibit doing further work toward my teaching credential, I asked for several days in which to decide. But, after praying about it, I chose to accept this splendid job offer. I could clearly see God's loving care and provision in this new opportunity.
