IN MY YOUTH, my parents had many financial ups and downs. I remember clearly the mental atmosphere in our home during the difficult times. My mother would often get depressed and become physically ill. As a result, I very much wanted to know how to deal with financial pressures and to find a reliable source of supply in good times and bad.
After I married and became pregnant with my daughter, I learned about Christian Science through a healing that my mother had of various medically diagnosed problems, including phlebitis, two slipped discs, thyroid trouble, and vision problems. Gradually, as I studied this Science, I began to understand that my source of health, happiness, and supply is God—an infinite source I can depend on. This realization was very helpful to me in the coming years.
I had to learn to depend completely on God as my provider.
