Emphasis On Moms                                        

      ~ Embrace who God created you to be ~ 

 

You are a Mom ~   You are a Wife ~   You are a Lady ~

Emphasis On Moms is focused on giving moms words of encouragement and support. Our goal is to bring you hope and help for your life as parents, individual women, and wives.

We know that your family means everything to you. Yet in our stressed, busy, overwhelmed world a mom can struggle with low self esteem, finding time for her marriage relationship, maintaining family values, and just being a positive parent.

Emphasis On Moms is here to help you feel good about who you are, while bringing inspiration and perspective to your heart through our resources, blog, and parenting tips. 

You put everything you are into caring for your family - now its time to be lavished with some love, honesty and a reminder that you're not alone.

John 8:12

"When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."

Jesus is the Light of the World. And we are to let the Light of Christ shine through our lives to the dark world around us. So light some candles, put up some lights, and sing a song of praise to Jesus - the Light of the World.

While You're Waiting ~ By Angie Maldonado

 

Our God is a God of order.  When you study how carefully He orchestrated the days of creation; His detailed instructions for Noah and the ark - male and female of every species independently entering the massive ship; His chosen Gideon defeating the feared Midianites with the carefully weeded out 300 weaponless soldiers; it is easy to see He has a perfect providential plan for all of life.  This is true of our households as well.  God has a perfect order and plan for us, established from the beginning of time.

The familiar Ephesians 5 speaks of the Lord's plan for the husband as the head of his household.  Ephesians 6 and several passages in Proverbs and Deuteronomy indicate the man's role as the spiritual trainer in his home.  Although this is God's ordained order for our homes, for various reasons this order is not always followed. I have observed a couple of different scenarios where this is true. READ MORE...

 

 

The Emancipation Proclamation of the Stay at Home Mom ~ By Chasity Champion

    A couple of months ago while riding down the street with a close friend, I questioned her about her plans for marriage and children to which she replied, “Girl, I am not ready for all of that just yet.” I was puzzled as to why not. I knew that she wanted both marriage and children or at least I thought she did. For the last 4 years she has been carrying around a list to God describing the “perfect husband” which was humorous to say the least. This sweet girl was one of my best friends and she always comments about how much she enjoys spending time with my children and I. Whenever there is a carnival at our church or a pool party, she wants to attend it with our family. Not only that, quite a few of her other friends had families and I had been noticing lately how all of this was wearing on her. If there was ever anyone that I thought wanted to be a wife and mother, it would have been her.  Maybe I was wrong to have assumed this; but, needless to say I was troubled by her answer. I sat quietly for a moment and after awhile she spoke up and said she wanted to live out her life first and then when she was finished living her life she would get married and have children. I don’t know maybe it was just me, but the impression she left me with was that she thought of marriage and motherhood as a job that you should begin when you have nothing else to do with your life. I could not help but feel as though she had a very unfortunate perspective of life, my life.  READ MORE...


 

 

Is Your Child Missing Out? ~ By Dionna Sanchez

 

I came to the conclusion recently that I didn't have to rely on my children's school to teach them everything.

Of course I would like their school to stretch them and work with their strengths while helping them strengthen their weaknesses. But I've found that the classroom doesn't seem to touch on everything that I wanted touched on.  Even if I discuss something with a teacher at parent-teacher conferences, not all teachers have the time or are equipped to focus on certain areas; no matter how greatly I want it.

I am my child's advocate.  READ MORE...

 

 

Making Decisions Under Stress ~ By Dionna Sanchez

Women are emotional by nature.  That's not a bad thing.  God created us this way.  Our emotions come from the passions we feel so strongly about.  It's kind of like a well that is so full of water that it can't help but spill out.  That's us.

Normally, I'd be a staunch supporter of encouraging women to not be ashamed of their emotions.  We need to feel comfortable in crying when we feel like crying and giggling when we feel full of joy.  But there is one area in life that we need to be careful of in letting our emotions pour out over and over - READ MORE...

Social Graces

When it comes to serving others, how sensitive are you?  It is always important to take the time to find out special needs, such as food allergies or physical limitations, of guests & friends whenever you are entertaining people in your home.  Be flexible and plan alternate dishes, vary seating arrangements, or show hospitality in ways that will make everyone feel welcome and comfortable.
