Write it down!

By Emily Mattson

This past year, I went on a “writing spree"  and decided to record a bunch of my healings as articles. Here are two I’d like to share with you. 

Once I became a teenager, I started to get blemishes on my hand that looked like warts. I was mortified and did anything I could to cover them up or hide my hands because I was afraid of what other people would say. I loved to play golf because I could wear my golfing glove, and when it came off I could say I had blisters from golfing so much. Although the warts would occasionally go away when I used “home remedies,” they would return. 

Because of this issue, I was often tentative about holding other peoples’ hands either in a caring way or even just in playing a game. Once I got into college and moved into a house at Principia College, a school for Christian Scientists, it became effortless to let go of what I thought were burdens and live life as God’s perfect reflection.
