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

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

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
