Primary Class Instruction June 1, 2015 Issue

Deepening my understanding

Blake Windal

While I grew up in Christian Science, my fire of desire to learn more about it really began to burn in high school. I can recall speedily completing my work in one particular class so I could spend the duration of the period reading the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. In college, I read everything about Christian Science I could get my hands on. This led to an interest in going through Christian Science Primary class instruction.

However, when I would attend class and who my teacher would be did not come to light immediately. I had thought that I would take class instruction sooner than I did, but in retrospect I see clearly that I was led to wait until the soil of my thought had been perfectly tilled and I was ready for this step. This was a lesson to me: As we understand that God is always unfolding good, we increasingly see chance, human will, and personal desires yield to that unfolding good in our lives.

After college, I was led to just the right teacher for me. Furthermore, everything fell into place to allow for a peaceful, harmonious environment during this period of vibrant exploration. I found myself in an unexpectedly ideal lodging situation during class. My job had a gracious decrescendo, calming down during the two-week period I was away. And all financial needs relating to my attending class were met as well.
