Testimonies of Healing

Early in my teaching career, I decided to take some time off from teaching in order to pursue an MBA degree full time. I enrolled in an excellent program in a different state that would require an 100-mile round trip by car to attend classes that met in the late afternoon until night.

Some years ago , our family decided to purchase an older horse so my husband at the time (not my current husband) could join the children and me on rides. The owner planned to bring him to us on a Saturday, but when Saturday morning came around, he called to let us know that the horse had a serious eye infection.

When I was expecting our first child, I chose a kind and respectful obstetrician who was happy to work with patients who practiced Christian Science, and I had a harmonious birth experience.   By the time our second child was on the way, my husband and I had moved to another city, so I chose a midwife whom a friend recommended.

The author experienced healing as she recognized her identity as the perfect and unchanging daughter of God.

For many years , I was aware of a hard growth below the surface of the skin of my thigh. It didn’t really bother me, except that some believed it could turn into a serious problem at some point.

This author prayed when she felt fear creep in one night. Her prayers defused a scary situation.

Many years ago , I was asked to take on the duties of Second Reader at my Christian Science Society, but for as long as I could remember any activity that required speaking in public had been fraught with anxiety for me. Even as a child, something as simple as talking to a store clerk or responding to a teacher’s question had been difficult.

One Wednesday evening several years ago, I gave a testimony at my local Christian Science branch church. I discussed how our thought can be healed about the past and thus painful memories can be eliminated and stop reoccurring in our thoughts.

As I started to rise from a sitting position, I felt an excruciating pain in my lower back and almost collapsed on the floor. Sheer human willpower got me to the bed in my hotel room to lie down.

The events on the ninth day of December 2020 shall forever remain a treasured memory. I was traveling from Nyeri to my hometown of Karatina in a public service vehicle when it was involved in a serious collision with a lorry that was moving in the opposite direction.
