In The Beginning…
In the beginning, life was ideal; the hubby, then kids, an ideal job…what a thrill!
Then kid two and now kid three, minus a husband (sigh) oh ME!!!
So, what do I do when life takes a turn, I trust the One who has ALL power in His hands!
I take each moment, one step at a time and breathe when I don’t understand the reason WHY.
Today, I’ve decided to map each day. To begin the healing process, while on my way!
I will arise from the ashes a new and free because I’m determined to SEE; beyond rose colored glasses to a dawn a new, a new horizon and free to BE ME!
I’ve begun a chapter of life that I’ve never walk out, but am clear of one thing without doubt…
that MY God shall supply everyone of my needs, children will be cared for, in route to DESTINY!
I will SHOUT Hallelujah to the most High because I trust His plan, although I don’t know why!
He knew my beginning! My end determined! The middle a bit messy and oh so blurry.
But since I trust the One who is in control, I will REST knowing that my steps are ordered even the unknown!
I’m a determined mommy…burnt-out mom to be exact!
I will trust my ashes to turn to be a MOCHA MOM who is TheBOMB.com!
Monique's Moments
Hello my fellow mommies!!! 😊 My name is Monique Jameison and I love writing!!! I will share my heart on topics that bring healing to me with hopes that you find something that speaks to your situation and encourages you to know that you are the B.O.M.B.com, despite your circumstance as a mom who may be experiencing burnout; hence the acronym B.O.M.B.com (The Burnt-Out Mommy Blog)! As I authentically share my journey, I graciously call my posts, "Monique's Moments". I welcome you to come along this journey with me... I am a newly single mommy of three amazing kiddos: Stephen (14), Taiden (6), and Ivy-Mone't (3). I am a survivor of abuse and am recently divorced after almost 16 years of marriage. Now, I am on a journey of healing and rediscovering who I am in this new season of life. I am a follower and lover of Jesus and biblical truth is the final authority in my life. I value the model of the traditional family as being between one woman and one man who have been created in God's image to serve in unique roles within the family unit. I value the role of the man in the family and his unique role to lead, serve, provide, and protect his wife and children under God's headship. I value the role of the woman in the family and her unique role to submit to her husband, serve her family, and mother her children by nurturing, loving, rearing, and teaching them. Due to sin and living in a fallen world, the family unit is under attack by the very enemy of our soul, the devil. The American culture is counter to and makes it very hard for mankind to walkout biblical truth. As such, homes are broken and our children are being raised inside of single-family homes mostly absent from fathers, distracted by two working parents with little time to fully engage their children with intention, and overly stimulated children glued to technology as electronic baby-sitters. I admit, I am guilty of it ALL! I am a mother raising children in a broken home, work outside of the home, and use technology out of balance. As a Christian, I am not perfect, I am progressing! I thank God for Jesus' blood shed for my sins and I have hope in God's provision forward! As an intentionally mommy, I commit to surrounding my children with people, places, and things that reinforce God’s design for marriage and family, and value the role of the church as a community of believers whose purpose is to be God’s hands and feet. I BLOG from a place of empathy, experience, authenticity, and LOVE! I will approach this blog with positivity and will seek to understand a person's uniquely lived experience and engage from a posture of non-judgement and encourage my fellow reader to pray and do the same. En Christ’s Love, Monique J. Jameison
