Celestial feast
Finding Christian Science was the most momentous and crucial experience of my life. I knew I’d found the most profound and practical gift possible. Many serious needs were met, including the breaking of a 12-year smoking habit and medication addiction. An eating disorder and panic attacks were healed also, and I was even accepted to a fine graduate school in spite of not so sterling undergrad grades. These victories made me want to learn more, and I felt Primary class instruction had to be a most important next step.
As I prayed about this prospect, I began to understand more about what it meant to listen for God’s direction, His leading. I began checking articles in The Christian Science Journal and Sentinel that I’d found instructive to see if their authors were Christian Science teachers. And when I attended a Christian Science lecture, I’d check to see if the lecturer was a teacher.
