ANYONE CAN BE A HEALER October 22, 2007 Issue

Next in our biweekly series on how people have nurtured their public practice of Christian Science.

GOD'S GUIDANCE ALL THE WAY

TIMOTHY THORNDIKE—Cleveland, Ohio

PRAYER COMPELLED ME TO MOVE to California after college. I was hoping to get a master's degree in financial management in the arts—the only one of its kind in the country. Soon, I learned that the program was waitlisted for four years. So, trying to determine my next steps, I worked in a variety of other fields, and continued to pray for guidance.

One day, I saw an advertisement for a food service supervisor at a Christian Science nursing facility in the city where I was living. I applied and ended up working there for over a year, until I left to get more management experience elsewhere.

I spent the next year making very little progress with my career goals, so I again turned to prayer. After months of unemployment, the same Christian Science nursing facility called to ask if I could do some temporary holiday work in the food service department. I was willing to do this, until my "real job" came along.
