I didn’t realize my way of approaching my life-schedule was messed up . . . until my life-schedule got messed up.
My whole plan was to go to India to study abroad during my junior year of college. I’d jotted it down (with a permanent marker) on my mental calendar—about four years before the travel date —and fully intended to follow through with it. I admired the Indian students who passed me in class or on the subway. And I was appropriately in love with the idea of trekking through the country, seeing the colorful Hindu prayer flags, and eating naan (traditional flatbread).

I had the opportunity to participate in the CSO Summit over Labor Day, but as a TMC Youth intern, I was helping prepare for the event beforehand. And I found the days leading up to it incredibly helpful. Time was running out and the work was piling up, so we decided to start a prayer watch-each team member took a half an hour a day to pray specifically for the upcoming Summit. This was the first time that I’d actively prayed with other people, for an extended period of time, for one specific cause.
Since praying for more than five minutes was new to me, it was easy to pray about a lot of different things. In my half hour session, I included every aspect of the Summit I could think of-I prayed for the participants, the food, the transportation, the lecturers and speakers, the schedule, safety on the waterslide, and more. It left me feeling so excited and ready for it to start. The difficult preparation naturally started falling into place, too. It was so amazing to see Science working-with eight people praying (over four hours per day), how could I expect anything else?

Hey. So, I’ve been here in Boston for about 5 weeks now working at my Bible Lesson and it’s been great. I love the people and the experience I’m getting from working with them and from what I am doing each day.
One thing that I’ve noticed and really appreciate is how the people I work with act and how their actions really express the idea of the whole man. Not only do they take on a huge variety of jobs, but they also express a wide range of qualities. They are very professional and demanding in what they expect of themselves and others, but they are also really funny and friendly. (more…)

My name is Newton Ligale Lubuya and I am from Kenya, a country well-known for runners. Nearly every place I go, the first question people ask me is whether I run. I always reply with a yes. And when I run, I know that I draw my strength from divine Mind, God. I am a student at Principia College and I am currently doing an internship with TMC Youth. I work in the records management department. (more…)

Those of you who read my last blog know that I was led to Boston by listening to God. Before I had even started to look for jobs or internships, I was considering taking primary class. It’s an intensive two week course on spiritual healing. During the last school year, I did a lot of reading of The Christian Science Journal and the Christian Science Sentinel in hopes that I would find an article by someone who I could see being my teacher.
