Let Us Rejoice! By: Sophia Archer
This year has been one full of many emotions. A roller coaster ride that has been filled with excitement for the celebrations of one chapter ending, and trepidation for the inevitable changes to take place in the next chapter.
My one and only baby, the one little girl who God gifted to me after six and a half years of praying to be her mommy, had somehow turned 18 in an eye blink. In this last year, she has begun working at the museum, started bending poles and barrel racing on her gallant steed, found a handsome young man to date who knows Jesus (hallelujah!), and then she had the nerve to graduate high school.
My baby turned into a strong, independent young woman who did not need her mommy anymore, at least not in the way I was used to being needed. I was pretty sure that this was the goal. This girl was my reward from God, a gift, and I trained her up right, and she seemed wise. All that godly discipline from Hebrews 12:11, where is says
“Discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.”
“For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven,” (Ecclesiastes 3:1).
God has a divine plan. I am part of it. My daughter is part of it.
Hearts Being Healed Ministries has been part of God’s divine plan to bring women to Jesus, to the healing that only He can bring forth. I have received this healing and a fervent desire to grow deeper in relationship with our savior. I am a mother, and I will always be the mother of that young woman. That will not change, but it has grown into a new and exciting adventure “under heaven”.
As the 2nd annual Hearts Being Healed Conference in Prescott, Arizona approaches, it is evident to me that my involvement in this ministry is part of the Great I Am’s divine plan. I continue to grow closer to my God as I witness my dear sisters in Christ work together to build a safe place full of love and hope for other women who need to heal and know the truth that they are loved unconditionally by an Almighty Father.
“Two are better than one, because they have good reward for their labor,” (Ecclesiastes 4:9).
Our God is so, so good and I am so, so honored to be in the places that He has taken me, what He has shown me, and the sisters He has put in my heart. Just as Jacob said, (Genesis 31:11), I shall say the same,
“Here I am, Lord, all of me!”
