When I first saw the announcement of the upcoming Domino Ministry restoration service, I was surprised at my reaction. Surprised that now, 35 years after my abortion, I would feel so compelled to go to this service. I had gone through a healing process soon after I met Jesus 30 years ago, and did not feel I needed healing.
The night of the service was more than I could have imagined. I had no idea the well of emotions still buried inside of me after all this time. I wept, laughed, and mourned. The tenderness of the ministry team was overwhelming. I felt loved and supported as they walked with me through the memories, pain, and emotions of the past. It brought peace and comfort to acknowledge so openly what I had held in shame and secret for so long. That was the element of my healing that I still needed.
During prayer years before, I had asked Jesus to show me my little one. I immediately saw a beautiful, blonde little girl of about four years old. She wore a bright yellow dress, with puffy short sleeves and a bow tied in the back. I could see every detail about her, how her hair was tied up on the sides, how her dress blew in the wind.... She played carefree in an open meadow, and the light that surrounded her was surreal. It reflected off her blonde hair like the moon reflects off the water. Jesus even told me her name. After I attended the service, this vision came back to me in such clarity. I believe it's because I brought my past out into the open and into His Light, where I was able to see it from His perspective. It's there that I found healing and freedom.
