Testimonies of Healing

A few years ago, I took a course to become certified in teaching English as a second language. Then I looked for the right place to spend the next few months in Latin America, where I could practice my Spanish and be of service.

I love to dance! Dancing is an expression of qualities such as grace, rhythm, discipline, energy, joy, agility, harmony, and coordination. One evening, a few years ago, I had to leave a dance event early because of back pain.

A number of years ago, I began to experience severe pain in one hip and leg whenever I tried to sit or bend in any way. I could stand and walk but could not lie down in any position except on my back.

In 2011, I experienced a healing that strengthened my confidence in the power of God to heal, and gave me a needed push Spiritward. I had started noticing an occasional elevated heart rate, shortness of breath, and a number of other deeply concerning, very painful physical symptoms.

Late one night, I got a call from the children’s hospital, saying that my 20-year-old daughter had been run over by a car, and was in very serious condition.

I was introduced to Christian Science a year after my husband passed away. My early study of Christian Science helped me overcome many different challenges our young family was facing.

Several years ago, I had an experience that taught me the power of Christian Science treatment, regardless of distance. My husband and I took our children to a remote part of Guatemala for a family retreat at Lake Atitlán.

One summer many years ago I went through one of my greatest challenges—the use of recreational drugs. At college and in home circles, many friends and relatives were into heavy alcohol and drug use.
