“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
Lord, Lately I’ve been feeling like a Martha,working my way.Instead of trusting your plan like Mary and seeking your face. Guide me back to You, my heart has grown weary.Feeling dried up like the River Euphrates. I need Your living water cause you paid the price for me.Over 2000 years ago back on Calvary. I rest in you my Savior, my King, my Friend!You alone know my beginning from my end! So no longer will I toil, worry, and fight alone.Like a stranger deserted on an island without a home. You are my Strength, my Redeemer that lives.I rest in You Jehovah Jireh like a baby in a crib! Totally…

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…

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…

Moms amongst women leaving the workplace
Hello BOMB.com mommas! So, I posted on LinkedIn this morning and I thought I’d share with our working moms as well. There was a trending article from Forbes that was posted by LinkedIn News titled, “The ‘Great Breakup’ And Why Women Leaders Are Leaving Companies At Higher Rates” This article shared stats and reasons for women leaving the workforce. Amongst the top reasons was burnout, sharing that 43% of women, compared to 31% of men in leadership experienced burnout. I reposted the article under my page and added my own perspective that highlighted additional findings. Today, I wanted to hop onto my blog to share with you my perspective on,…

Teens and Things…exhausted in the battle
Well, burning the midnight oil again! It’s actually 1:22am and somehow I have not been able to sleep at night recently. Not sure why, but I pray for sweet rest and the Lord’s revelation of this season in life. As I reflect on my day, what sticks out the most is a disagreement that my eldest son and I had. As we transported groceries from the car to home, I lashed out at him on the elevator, in response to his abrupt and harsh communication with his seven-year-old brother. I felt his communication was a bit harsh and to be quite honest, I was triggered as it reminded me of…

GRATITUDE for the Father
Thank you, heavenly father for being all that to me, When you sit on the thrown as Deity! You didn’t have to come down and sup with me, But you did by sacrificing your life on Calvary! Bloodshed, stains, pierced in the side. Never mumbled a word of resistance, yet cried… “Forgive them Father for they know not what they do. Remember this was the plan back in Genesis 2. When we created man in Our image, Knowing the day would come That I’d say, IT IS FINISH, the victory is won!” So, thank you, heavenly father for being all that to me, When you sit on the thrown as…

WHO WILL YOU CHOOSE???
Hello again my AMAZING fellow mommies! So, in the recent months, I was presented with a job opportunity that would allow my kiddos and I to relocated back to the DFW, TX area. It was a lateral move with double the pay, working in a familiar environment with a former employer. The offer came during a time I had been eager for change and seeking the Lord on next steps. Well, the kicker is that after negotiating a start date, the employer was only able to push the date out to April 2022. With many things to consider, including my middle schooler and I graduating in May 2022, this decision…
