Fully Committed

It's been far too long since I posted on this blog.  So much has happened with the ministry, but I think the biggest change has been in me.

I remember we had a visit by an older mother who has been a spiritual mentor to me for years.  After service, she gave me that special look of hrs and I knew that God was going to speak to me through her.  The message wasn't what I expected, though.  She said "God wants you to come all the way in.  Your body is here, but your mind and heart are not.  He needs you to serve with your whole heart."  Wow!  All I could do was cry.  God had read my mail yet again!  I was going through the motions.  I was showing up.  I was serving in multiple capacities.  Wasn't that enough?

But God wanted more.  So I have spent these past few years fasting, praying, and healing.  I feel stronger and ready to wear the mantel He has placed on me as First Lady.  And I am daily working to be all in - fully committed to the call and the work.
