I am very grateful to share the following healing. It occurred on a Wednesday evening after returning home from serving as a substitute Reader for the testimony meeting at our local branch Church of Christ, Scientist.
I enjoy the opportunity to be a substitute Reader, particularly for Wednesday evening meetings, as it offers the opportunity to prepare an in-depth lesson from the Christian Science Pastor (the Bible and Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy) on a specific topic. This was also the last event in a very long two-week period of commitments that had afforded little downtime, and, quite honestly, had come with a fair amount of stress. So I was delighted to end this period with reading at church, and then to return home for some quiet time.
I had hardly gotten to sleep that evening when I awoke with great discomfort in my abdominal area. This discomfort continued to grow until I was no longer able to stay in bed. It soon seemed something was seriously wrong, as the pain had increased to the point where I could neither sit nor lie down, and I had begun to vomit violently.
