Testimonies of Healing

Motherhood is proving to be an incredible time for me to learn more about our Father-Mother God and how She cares for me and for all of us. I’ve practiced Christian Science my whole life, and it’s been natural to rely on God for my own health.

For several years, I struggled with internal pain that was debilitating at times. I curtailed or gave up activities like cycling, hiking, or traveling because sitting or standing for long periods was difficult to do comfortably.

It’s incredibly reassuring to know that we are one with God, as taught and proved by Christ Jesus. Divinely loving, comforting thoughts of good from the one divine Mind naturally permeate our consciousness, even when we’re not fully awake to that oneness.

Several years ago, I woke up one morning with excruciating pain around my hip area. Within minutes, I was completely paralyzed from the waist down.

In my early forties , I became pregnant with my third child. The pregnancy was joyous news.

Years ago when I was making the transition between my work with a local dance company and a new career, I had a healing of an inflamed and swollen eye. Although I was no longer officially working for the company, they would sometimes ask me to come to rehearsals and give notes about what needed improvement.

I woke up one  morning and thought, “Today’s the day we move home!” But I wasn’t happy like I should have been. I was sad.

One Sunday morning , I thought it would be fun to go for a run before church. As I was jogging down our steps, I was distracted by something in the street.

“ God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind” ( II Timothy 1:7 ). This beautiful biblical passage became a living reality in my experience.

One afternoon in the middle of our son’s fourth-grade year in elementary school, I got a call from the nurse’s office to pick him up. He was feeling nauseous and his head hurt.
