What the Sisterhood Has Done For Me

What the sisterhood does is so beautiful, powerful, and poetic. A true dance of surrender and obedience with the Spirit.

I will never forget my night with some of the sisters. It was a few years after the pandemic. You gathered having prayed for me for some time. I was weary and overwhelmed having been away from North America for four years because of the pandemic. Because of the time you spent before the Lord on my behalf, you knew how I was doing, what I was dealing with, and what I needed more than I did, and you celebrated me and poured love over me in the most beautiful ways. I felt like the Lord stopped time and packed days, even weeks of spiritual blessing, love, and healing into one little evening. As I was driven home, I felt like I was returning to Earth’s time constraints. So powerful.

I was deeply honoured to dive into the sacred topic of miscarriage and loss with you through the podcasts that we created during the pandemic. The podcasts blessed many friends and family who I shared it with.

And of course, there was my crowning. A precious event that happened almost six years ago at the end of a two-year ‘Job season’ - one of the most difficult and painful seasons of my life.

The crowning was a powerful prophetic act that honoured the hard-earned ground I had gained after two years of heart, spirit, and emotional work - lots of warfare, prayer counselling, and deep healing. It gave me encouragement and direction to step into my 45th year of life and the next season of my life with faith and hope.

I also had the privilege of being loved on and cared for by one of the sisters - she prayed for, encouraged, and reached out to me during and after the pandemic - a difficult time for all of us. As a missionary unable to return to North America for years longer than I anticipated, it was especially poignant and precious to be seen, covered, and fought for during this time.

Thank you to the Sisterhood! You have seen me through some of the hardest seasons of my life, and I am grateful for each of you!
