I had been married about six years, and had a son a year old, when I felt myself becoming very depressed and despondent. I was very tired and seemed to be disillusioned with marriage and life in general.
I decided to leave my husband and home, and went to another state to join my parents. While there, I met a friend and told her how I felt. I mentioned that I had no sense of values and needed something to hold on to. She said she knew of something I could use, and she told me about Christian Science, explaining the synonyms for God. I was so interested in her saying that Mind is God, and that He is Principle—I was very impressed with that.
That evening we attended a Wednesday testimony meeting at the Church of Christ, Scientist, nearby, and I just drank everything in, as I really was in need of it all.
