My professional life was being transformed

I had been working with a practitioner about a physical claim for several weeks, when a circumstance in my professional work required me to take a stand for integrity. As a result of not complying with a dishonest action, I was abruptly let go from my work.

Even though I was ready to move on from what I considered an unjust circumstance, the practitioner counseled me that I couldn’t “just move on” without addressing the situation in Science. My practitioner pointed me to this sentence by Mrs. Eddy: “Both Science and consciousness are now at work in the economy of being according to the law of Mind, which ultimately asserts its absolute supremacy” (Science and Health, p. 423:24). This sentence was helpful in knowing that the stand for honesty – a sign of Truth in human consciousness – had its blessing, even if I would never see it in that circumstance. This helped bring peace. Within the month, satisfying and refreshing temporary employment was found.

As I continued to pray about the physical claim, my professional life was being transformed. New opportunities for employment appeared. I found a position that fit my skills and abilities perfectly, one of service in the highest sense.

In the process of starting the new job, I was dealing with someone who was being let go from the same company. God had graciously prepared me to be able to comfort that individual in a way that brought more harmony. Without the experience of being let go from my previous job, I don’t think I would have had the tools to provide that comfort.

Praying to see the right place to be, I was being moved into new living situations. Step by step, more opened up in that regard, too. Much of the old was moving on. I was writing new chapters with new work, a new home, and in my personal life. I am very grateful to God for this demonstration.
