I wanted to know God’s plan for me
My husband had his own business and worked very long days, sometimes working Saturdays. Our family dinner was eaten before he got home, so I’d warm the food up for him, and after eating he’d usually lie down in front of the TV, soon to fall asleep. We had very little conversation, if any, during the time he was awake, and I’d go to bed shortly after he came home.
After some years of this lifestyle, I was very unhappy and began having frequent migraines. I tried taking pain relievers and sleeping pills, but neither helped. During this time, I thought my only choices were to continue living like this, find a boyfriend, or get a divorce. But I knew that choosing any of these would bring me only more unhappiness.
One day, I had a painter come over because I needed a bathroom painted. I didn’t speak to him about anything other than the work to be done. But when I went in to see how he was doing, he said to me, “God loves you and has a perfect plan for you.” I remember thinking, “If He does, I sure want to know what it is.” Then I thought about Christian Science.
