GOD'S POWER IN MY LIFE

LEON MAY with contributions from KAREN MAY

During 1999, I had many personal problems. I felt that my marriage was about to break up, and I even had thoughts of suicide. My wife and I had tried counseling, but neither one of us felt it was helping.

One night I left home and drove to a neighboring town. In my mind I thought I had only two choices: death or getting drunk. I wasn't much of a drinker. I turned the radio on to some classical music. Suddenly I remembered hearing the same music on a visit to the castle Mont-Saint-Michel in France. The music was playing when suddenly the castle appeared out of the mist. I saw that I was in a kind of mist, too. I realized then that I had another choice—God.

I really hadn't attended church for over 29 years, although I did read a daily scripture and I'd observed my wife, who was a lifelong Christian Scientist. Now it was as if a voice were speaking to me, telling me that I needed to ask for help to solve my problems. I felt guided to pick up a copy of The Christian Science Journal and find a Christian Science practitioner in its directory. I didn't know the person I called.
