I’ve had a lot of change this past year in my personal life (relationships ending and beginning, changing homes several times, really establishing my faith in Christian Science), and it was becoming so daunting to have to take on another challenge, having faced so many this year already. However, in reading this, it became so clear to me that God’s support is present, vivacious, and unceasing and that I shouldn’t be afraid at all, for any of it. There’s nothing but love ahead of me.

Thanks for renewing my courage.

You are welcome. I’m grateful for your breakthrough!

“…plenty of time, no competition, and plenty of supply.”

I want the fruit of the vine. My words, my presence
to make a difference in the world.

Having a good quiet breakfast, lunch, dinner. Reading a
truthful , inspiring book, relaxing showers baths,
dining out, keeping a journal of these inspired ideas
presenting them to the right people at the right time.
Sales and Marketing. Being able to present your idea
before the public, your unique niche that only you can
fill. Risk-taking! Confidence!

While everybody else is in a race to the “quote”
finish line, realize that there is plenty of time,
no competition, and plenty of supply. This is my first
breakthrough!

Peace

You ask, what if something you’d love to do is way beyond reason…like modeling, or managing a NFL team…

This is when it helps to revise what it means to “do what you love.”

This question implies that love is limited by worldly circumstances. It implies that you have to have a certain job before you can feel love and happiness. But it’s really the other way around. You find love in God, feel it, and then experience it. The love part comes first, then an outward job experience that corresponds to the love you’re feeling and experiencing within.

So, focus on finding true love within first, that grows out of understanding spiritual reality better and feeling closer to God, and the great job will follow.

Hope that helps…

It’s nice to hear from you!

You mention that you’re convinced you’re “not from this galaxy.” From my point of view, there is only one “galaxy,”–God’s! And you are in it! Just like me, and everyone else. But yes, we’re all unique, special, individual. We reflect an infinite God that has infinite individuality, so naturally, God’s individuality is going to be expressed in an infinite number of ways, shapes and forms. Each is special and perfect in its own individual way. So, you don’t need to feel like you’re living in a foreign land. Your uniqueness does not separate you from others, but unites you with God. Feeling “at home” with God, makes us feel at home with life. And it sounds like that is what you are finding in your own experience.

Lots of love to you…

I’m attractive, mind my own business, and I don’t
give a flip what others think of me. I’m for the first time
in my life following my own unique life path.

I was born into one of the most dsyfunctional families on earth, married a total jerk, two kids I adore , but who
make stupid choices, I’ve been lied to, talked about,
the guys I chose and have been with have been a nightmare!

I’m asking myself? Where do these people come from?
Now- I set boundaries! I no longer talk to everyone and
I contain myself. I’m content with myself. I read. I eat out. I for the most part enjoy being alone.
For me ideal companionship is loads of distance
sprinkled with fidelity, spontainiey, freedom, yet committment. In other words “Moral freedom in Soul”

There is a niche for you to fill that only you can fill! Divine Love makes room for everyone, so there is a place for you to work that’s right for you and right for the employer. This is a truth that I would include in your prayers…

Be assured that the one Mind brings supply together with demand, coordinating all the activities of the economy for the benefit of everyone. No win-lose situation in God’s workplace. No competition for the right place for you. You are the right candidate for the right job that’s right for you! And Mind puts you together with it.

Hope that helps…

My question is if you get the interviews, just no offers. I understand we go to give our knowledge and experience and pray to work on understanding the unlimited God, good qualities, just still no offers - continually having someone else favored?

Fabulous! What a terrific story and example of how the grace of God can work through one’s experience to build a CS practice. It’s not a human willed thing, a blind leap-off-the-cliff activity, or hopeful thinking. It’s the right idea unfolding in natural and normal ways as that right idea is genuinely cherished.

Thanks for sharing!

I was raised in Christian Science and have relied on Christian Science Treatment my whole life however, it wasn’t until just a few months ago I started to recognize what Christian Science really was and what Mrs. Eddy’s revelation was. I felt like I was as Paul says in Ephesians, putting off the old man and putting on the new man. As I started to study more intently the Bible lesson, Science and Health and some of Mrs. Eddy’s biographies my appetite to be a better Christian healer was growing. Very soon a Christian Science Teacher in my town, completely out of the blue, offered to share her office with me. I didn’t know at the time what a blessing this was, in fact it seemed a little bit like a burden at first with my busy schedule. Very soon my schedule became centered around my time to pray and be close to God as I realized what a joy it was.

I had never thought about going into the practice until a few months ago and what I started to realize was that I was, as each of us are, ready to do God’s work right now right here. I didn’t have to quit my job today and advertise as a practitioner tomorrow, I could do the work right now. I, as you put it, “mentally told the world I was ready to accept patients”. Very shortly after that a co-worker that had earlier learned I was a Christian Scientist asked me to work with him on a particular issue which I did. He had a beautiful quick healing and shared with me that I had made a believer out of his Grandma and wife.
I learned and grew so much from that experience and it was another beautiful demonstration of the Allness of God and the speed at which your practice can take off when it is based on living Truth and Love.

a big thank you for your thought, and yes I guess I need to let the “patience to perfectly accomplish its work” and trust God that He will lead me on the proper time. I just need to pray and practice and then the supply will be a manifestation of this undertanding.

Terrific story…thanks for sharing!

Your example illustrates so clearly that we are never hostage to our job. If hostage to anything, it’s to a false belief about our job.

Our real job is to reflect God, to manifest love, joy, gratitude, wisdom, helpfulness and more. As we faithfully do “our job” as an employee of God, the spiritual mindedness we cultivate and gain lifts our perspective. And one of two things happen–we either get a whole new inspired view of the opportunities already before us in our present job, or perhaps, we are led to another human job that expresses the qualities we’re feeling inside more fully. Either way, healing happens. We should not materially outline ahead of time what we think the outcome should be. God knows better than we do. But we can trust, that as our thinking goes higher, our experience goes higher.

In your case, you proved that it was not your job holding you back, but a limited view of yourself and your talents. As you shucked off the shackle of that limited view of self you felt freer, and rightfully so!

Good work!

I started in a career that wasn’t my first choice, but was okay and certainly used skills that were very strong in me even though I hadn’t desired or chosen them. At first it was like opening a bottle of soda — rather fizzy and exciting and fun. However, as time went on, it went flat like the soda does and became a chore I resented and I found frustration and boredom. When I finally committed myself to real spiritual growth a few months ago, the first thing that popped up to be healed in my thought was how I felt about my job and I began to look for ways to appreciate it more and do it better.

I noticed a spiritual purpose to it I had previously overlooked. I began to see it less in terms of the mechanics of what I did and more as the qualities I both expressed to others and experienced from them. I especially remember realizing one day that I had always thought of love as something in me that fluctuated to a greater/lesser degree and I could give or with hold as I liked. I suddenly understood that love wasn’t in me — I was IN IT –surrounded by it, immersed in it, animated by it, and absolutely under the constant demand to manifest my inseparability from it. As I began to look at everything and everyone at work through the eyes of Love instead of the eyes human expectation, many amazing things have happened.

In humility I finally understood that those skills I manifested — but had not chosen were the evidence of God operating as my life. For the first time I could show real heartfelt gratitude for the “gifts” I had always viewed as a curse and recognized I had not put these skills there by education or other means — they were simply there — shining forth as me and my life and that was where contentment and satisfaction was.

The result? Far more joy about my days, actual appreciation of my work by superiors, a sense of purpose, more financial stability, and new budding opportunities to move towards a line of work that I’ve always thought I wanted. I’ve considered this as somewhat like the parable of the talents. It seems I had to quit hiding mine in the ground of “that’s not what I want to do” and use them as stepping stones of spiritual progress to begin to reap their benefits.
