For the past eight years of my life I have been pregnant or nursing. I have given my full attention to my family. Until a couple of years ago, this was enough. Then all of a sudden, my heart started saying, there is more. I like the way Lisa Whittle explains it in her new book, I Want God, “Even when we ignore it, the God-call inside all of us does not keep quiet. In everyday life, the God-call persists too. So while we may be able to run from service for a time, eventually we won’t be able to. The God-call on our life will simply be too loud and too strong.”
Since I believe a woman’s number one ministry is her family, I continued to pour into each of my family members, all the while my heart was stirring. I eventually started a blog, From the Committed Heart. I thought this blog would be the missing piece of my heart’s call and though it has helped, my heart kept stirring. About mid May, of this year, I felt God say, it’s time. My heart was pounding, tears were flowing, it’s been almost a decade since I lead a ministry! I prayed for God to show me how I would be able to lead a small group without it taking away from my number one ministry, my family.
After throwing around some ideas with a friend, I have received the blessing from my church to start a women’s group called, From the Committed Heart. I will be sharing about the many hats we as women wear and the importance of your relationship with our God the Father first and our husband second.
I’m excited to announce that the first meeting will be Monday, September 8th, from 10:00 am to 11:30 am at Faith Assembly, in the Prayer room. If you are a married woman, living in the Orlando area and are available, I would love for you to join us.

I have been following your blog for about a year. I am a second year homeschooling mom of three girls. Joy-12, Harmoni-10, Serenity-7. Can you provide any details about your study? I am in 2 Bible Studies, but I wanted to see if I can fit it in. 😄

Jimletta, In the group we will be talking about staying committed in our spiritual walk, marriage, parenting, etc…My prayer for this group is that it will provide encouragement to women that are feeling weary.
That is awesome! With the strength of Christ, you’ll do great! I wish I could join you, but I’ll be sitting in the surgical waiting room while my mother-in-law gets her knee replaced that day…praying God’s blessing over it though!
