Success in school—with help from our pastor* 

Project management

By Vivian Lindawan

* I, Mary Baker Eddy, ordain the Bible and Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Pastor over The Mother Church,—The First church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass.,—and they will continue to preach for this Church and the world.
—Mary Baker Eddy, Manual of The Mother Church, p. 58

When graduation day was fast approaching at my school, our teachers gave us many final assignments that we needed to do and submit in our different classes. Every teacher gave us assignments and projects, and all the students were complaining because we didn’t have enough time to accomplish them.

When I went home after school one day last year, I felt tired but knew that I should do my assignments and projects. I needed to meet the deadlines, which were coming up soon, in order to pass my classes. So first, I sat for a while and took out my Bible. I read this passage: “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths” (Prov. 3:5, 6). These two verses helped me a lot. From this statement, I saw that God was helping me and directing me what to do. I felt comforted, and I was not worrying anymore about not having enough time. As I was working on one of my projects, I prayed to know that God is my intelligence, and I am not the one doing the work but God is the one doing it. He is the real worker.
