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 dependent on you Father, the lover of my soul!
I give it all over to You, I will rest and be made whole!
I love you!
your daughter,
Monique J. Jameison
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
