In 2023, one of the countries that Mia traveled to was India, where she faced a completely different concept of time. 

When serving anywhere, Mia was accustomed to preparing before the scheduled time. However, in India, due to cultural differences, the local co-workers not only arrived late but also seemed unbothered by it. Mia felt like her time was being wasted, as she was used to being on time.

During the service that day, Mia drew a painting with an hourglass theme to emphasize the value of time. However, when she was halfway through the painting, God suddenly guided Mia to add a hand on the hourglass. God told Mia that the congregation below were His beloved children and although Mia’s concept of time was challenged by their customs, all time is in His hands.

Mia then remembered that Pastor Theresa Dedmon had told her to pray for the congregation. So, Mia displayed the “Hand Holding Hourglass” painting she just finished on stage and invited those in need to come forward, as she wanted to pray for them receiving healing and restoration from God.

After the meeting, a member of the congregation came up to Mia and told her that his hand had been very painful since last night. But when Mia displayed the painting and announced that she wanted to pray for those with pain in their hands, he stood up and walked to the stage. He was then healed, and the pain disappeared.
