“Delusion or Destiny…you choose!”
Hi B.O.M.B.com mommas! So, I experienced a short season stuck in delusion and it was worship that helped me exit quickly…so I write. It all starts and ends in true worship! John 4:24 says, “God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth”. For a moment my hearts desires drifted from Christ and shifted to my own. I was in delusion! I wanted what I wanted but I understood that my Heavenly Father wanted more, so much and so, that I feared even asking what He thought about my dating life. I feared He would say no, so I deployed to my own understanding! I…

Will I Get A 3rd Chance to Obey
Good early morning BOMB.com mommas! It’s me here, just up at 2:33am, unable to fall back to sleep. So, I write… An update on all things life. Recently, I transitioned from being unemployed after leaving my teaching job in Jan 2024, to returning to a traditional 9-5 federal job at the end of Aug 2024. I don’t quite know how to feel about this. I’m grateful for income and the ability to provide for my kiddos and I, but there is a level of discontentment in my heart. I believe this feeling is the inner knowing that I did not maximize my time during my season of rest. I regret…

“Why are so many “STRONG”Black Women Single?”
Well bomb.com mommas, how have you been?! 🙂It has been a long time since I’ve posted. This post is inspired by a private Facebook page for single Black Christians. Since my brain began to spin with so many ideals and thoughts about the subject, here I post… A single Christian Black male posted a meme to engage conversation amongst followers. The meme stated, “Why are so many strong Black women single?” See my response below… You know…as a Black woman who is divorced after almost 16 years, I can only give perspective in hindsight and while on my self rediscovery journey. The “strong” Black woman in my humble opinion was…

Love Letter to the Father

The Ache in the Waiting – God, where is my husband! 😞
Well mommas, some days are great, but today my soul aches and longs to be loved and held by a man; not just any man, but my purpose partner-my future husband! As I sit on my son’s bed, trying to retreat from my five and eight year old littles who quietly snuck into my bed in the wee hours of the morning and took over my king-sized bed, I am attempting to find rest and peace from the thoughts that are overtaking my nights rest, so I write. It’s 6:18am and my teenage son’s bedroom is next door. He’s awake having his devotional time with the Lord, headphones in ear…

Lady in waiting…Trusting God in a season of singleness when your heart desires marriage (again)
WHAT A SEASON this has been!!! To go from marriage, to divorce, to focusing on self and rearing kiddos, I realize that marriage is ABSOLUTELY my heart’s desire sooner than later. But what is a girl to do when God is preparing her to become the best version of one’s self and the waiting process seems too much to bare? Answer pending cause baby the only thing I can confirm is that I’m trusting God although it’s taking longer than I want it to. I feel that the institution of marriage is not only beneficial for a family unit, but God’s design for those who desire it!

Wake-up Monique!!!
Hello fellow mommies!!! Welcome to 2023! I’m so excited to be here in the land of the living! So much has happened since my last post. Lots of life transitions but I am forever grateful to the lover of my soul Jesus! For He is a sustainer and keeper! He is a mind regulator and more importantly, HIs love is excessive! As I listen to the song Excess Love Remix by JJ Hairston & Mercy Chinwo, I sit in awe and wonder at just how good He is! The lyrics say, “Oh Oh Oh, You love me too much Oh! Your love is kind! Your love is Patient! You fill…

Attitude of Gratitude to the Father!!!
As I burn the midnight oil at 1:21am on 11/30/2022, I take-in all the happenings that the month of November brought. This month was definitely one I would describe as intentional communication, declaration, and warfare. As I put the babies to sleep, I awoke this evening to check on my oldest son just to find out that he had a fever and was under the weather. So, like the mom I am, I prayed over him, gave him meds, and sat with him as he drifted back off to sleep. I walked into the kitchen and all I could hear in my spirit is write. Honestly, I have no clue…

Holy and Horny vs Holy and Whole – God’s Plan for sexual purity after Divorce!
Hey momma’s!!! Sooooo, why did no one tell me about the sexual urges that remain after the divorce??? I’m waiting!!! (wink) I feel like I woke up one morning and was slapped with a burst of sexual energy that I could NOT explain. I felt completely frustrated and knew that I did not have license to satisfy! So, what’s a girl to do??? This was the question and journey that I took a few months after my divorce. Initially after my divorce, I felt completely numb to any emotions which scared me as an empath. However, it was during this season that I was singularly focused on graduate school and…
