Nothing too hard for God

Cathie Trogdon

A year after our first child was born, I developed a physical difficulty that made it necessary for me to be near the bathroom all the time. Although I was not in pain, the picture was alarming because there was evidence of internal bleeding.

When I became pregnant with our second child, I worried that this physical condition would complicate the pregnancy in some way. I visited a midwife for regular checkups, and, as required by state law, she took blood samples at each visit. One day, the midwife called saying there was something in my blood work she didn’t recognize, and she wanted me to consult a doctor. 

My husband, the midwife, and I visited a local hospital, where the doctor reviewed the blood sample and told us he had a diagnosis. I knew I had an important decision to make at that moment. I could listen to the doctor’s determination of the condition of my body, or I could rely on Christian Science, as I had done throughout my whole life. Christian Science teaches that God, Mind, created the universe, including me, in His image and likeness. Creation is spiritual and good, not material, and not subject to disease or discord of any kind (see Genesis 1:26, 31).
