About Mo

WHO IS MO?

Mo is Monica Wood aka Mo Wood. 

Through trial and error I have made some mistakes – not many are visible – but all have left a reminder of their existence. It is through the scars that I have learned what kind of faith I have and what kind of God I serve. For close to 5 years now, I have been led to share some of my scars through daily, weekly or even monthly devotionals.

In 2006, after reading devotionals I would receive from Joel Osteen, Joyce Meyer and others via email, I felt led to share, with particular people, what God placed on my heart. Their writings came from them taking their inspired thoughts from God and sharing them with the public by way of a devotional to help empower and ignite a spark in the reader’s faith walk with God. Through their inspirational messages, I began to hear from God in a new way. And, in hearing God in a new way, I found myself wanting to share what He was saying to me.

What I didn’t expect were the comments I would begin to receive from those I’d share my messages with. People began to send emails thanking me for being transparent and authentic. I was being told that my words blessed them more than the actual devotional. 

So, in 2009, after constant comments and nudging, I started to write my own devotionals and “MoMoments” was born. For me, I view MoMoments as me sharing my personal journal with strangers and friends - giving them a peak into my life, where I am, what I am feeling, and the role God plays in it - being transparent.

In 2010, I was blessed with the opportunity to post my inspirational messages on Charlotte Gospel Station Praise Charlotte 100.9FM website (a Radio One Station). Praise Charlotte’s webpage has over 100,000 viewers. It’s Unique Visitors count is over 15,000 and they currently have 8,000 members in their E-Blast Club. Weekly, MoMoments was read by an audience I never could’ve imagined reaching. 

Now its 2013 and "MoMoments" has its own official Blog! 

STATEMENT OF FAITH: I believe Jesus Christ was born, lived, died and rose from the dead for my salvation. I believe in the Holy Trinity. I believe I am a sinner saved by God’s grace. I believe I am alive to live out the Great Commission (Matt. 28:16-20) and walk in the fruits of the spirit (Galatians 5:22-23).
