While the singer said she will aspire to become like her mother, she continued to count her blessings.
"The more people I meet the more I realize how blessed I am to have been reared and guided by YOU…," she wrote. "As imperfect as I am I can see what's great in me because of u.#AlwaysByMySide BestMotherEver #MarilynBest."
Last year Monica gave 2 million Twitter followers the opportunity to ask her questions in a session titled "#askmo," and the Christian singer used the opportunity to share her faith. While her past relationships ended in one previous love interest committing suicide and the reported infidelity of another, the singer knows what it means to endure heartbreak.
When one person asked her about her method for overcoming obstacles, Monica showcased her faith in a simple response.
"God and Great family," Monica responded.
Another person questioned how Monica managed to maintain a positive attitude. The singer alluded to the power of prayer.
"Your perspective has a lot to do with outcome," she responded. "I also stay (prayed) up."
Aside from her responses in the question and answer session, Monica has made sure to share her faith with fans on social media. Last year, she took to Instagram to assure fans that God exists.
"There is a God...thru him I lived & loved thru the worst of heart breaks, the weakest of associates, the loneliest of nights & the harsh light of hard days…," (SIC) she wrote. "It's a blessing to be #Happy EVERYTHING we go thru is to get to who and what U need !! Thank U Father for clarity."
