I’ve been so grateful over many years for Christian Science and all that it brings to my daily life: order, peace, hope, and healing. I had a sweet experience a few years ago that taught me how quickly healing can come when a disturbance in thought is recognized and destroyed.
Ever since I’d heard a soloist sing at the first Christian Science church service I attended, I really wanted to do that. I’d always loved to sing and had sung in choirs as a member of other Christian denominations. In fact, when I’d first started regularly attending the branch Church of Christ, Scientist, in my town, I came only on Wednesdays so I could still sing in the choir at my other church on Sundays. But after attending Wednesday testimony meetings for several months, I felt such a love for Christian Science, its healing message, and its simple but powerful church services that I began attending both Sunday and Wednesday services regularly. I also began to have healings through prayer, and I joined the church.
But I still wanted to sing a solo there. I took singing lessons, learned solos, and practiced every day, but after a year I was way down on the substitute list and most discouraged.
