hi, I'm monique bright

DoinLifeWithMo is a personal blog focused on faith, family, home and all the other things the life of a woman brings.

It’s for the middle aged woman, the woman approaching middle age and the young women that aren’t trying to wait til middle age to figure it out!

It’s about embracing our imperfections, understanding that it’s OK that we won’t always get it right. That we’re not perfect and how sometimes, we honestly feel like we still don’t know what we’re doing even at this mature stage of our lives. Yet, finding out that we can have the courage and the boldness, the audacity even, to go and do great things because of HIM…

“

Because we can be
Imperfect Yet Excellent
in all things when we live our lives filtering everything through
JESUS CHRIST

tHE ULTIMATE MISSION OF THIS SITE...

is for you to be encouraged, inspired, and empowered to do life with focus and intent. Producing blessed change in your life, the lives of your family, friends and all those that you meet along the way. Fulfilling your God given purpose(s) in the most powerful and effective way…filtering everything through HIM.

Now this goes without saying but I’m going say it, finding a peaceful place of contentment in who you are, where you are and with what you have is a precious quality to possess in life so let us strive to do that (Philippians 4: 11-13). Yet, when we are led by that still small voice inside that keeps getting louder and wont’ go away (Isaiah 30:21, 1 Kings 19: 11-12) …Let us do this, all the more… Speak up! Speak love and life! Go and do it, try it, start it, share it, whatever great or small the Lord has instilled in you! It is of great value, it is needed, it is essential and will be life changing. You are imperfect but you will be EXCELLENT THROUGH HIM.

here you will find...

an ongoing submission of blog posts to help encourage and inspire you to be all that God has called you to be. To reach out to help someone else and yourself. To press on everyday, be excited to try new things, improve what you have and even more importantly realize how blessed you are to have what you have and truly appreciate it. All this even when you’re dealing with hurt, rejection, feelings of inadequacy, overwhelming situations and circumstances, when someone has done you wrong or you’re the one who’s done the wrong. Yeah even when you have jacked the situation or relationship up yourself.

So who is mo?

I am a 48-year-old married mother of three grown (and sometimes not so grown ) children who I love dearly. Just about a year ago I became a grandmother to the sweetest girl ever and she is just the joy of my life these days! I was a single mom for most of the time that I raised my kids. My husband and I have just been married for about 8 years now and we are proof that filtering all things through Christ produces excellence! Cuz y’all we were a mess in the beginning, LOL. I love him very much and we are both striving every day to love and learn each other better.

I am an ordained elder and have been in ministry teaching and preaching for 13 years. I graduated Sum Cum Laude, with a degree in Religion: Biblical and Theological Studies from Liberty University in 2018. I Walked across the stage in 2019 the year before the pandemic so I’m so thankful I was able to do that. In addition to being a wife, mother and minister, I am a full-time federal employee, a blogger, pursuing my real estate license and starting my YouTube channel soon. Stay tuned for updates!

But this is me essentially, I love Jesus, a good cup of coffee and spending time with my family.
