By Contributing Writer, Marci Ferrell of Thankful Homemaker “The words of a whisperer are like delicious morsels; they go down into the inner parts of the body.” Proverbs 18:8 The sin of gossip is everywhere, and it is in the church. We can’t seem to get away from it. We are either the ones gossiping or […]
By Contributing Writer, Marci Ferrell My Favorite Benefit to Homeschooling…………Being Home! Pretty simple, but after years of public school, traveling a good distance to take our kids to a Christian school, and before and after school activities galore, being home was such a blessing. I shared previously on Visionary Womanhood that we didn’t homeschool our […]
By Contributing Writer, Marci Ferrell Several months ago I shared my abortion story on my blog. The Lord prepared the hearts of my children to hear this painful and ugly part of my past and brought me into a ministry of crying out for the lives of the unborn in my neighborhood. I want to […]
By Contributing Writer, Marci Ferrell But Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” Matthew 19:26 When I first started writing this post I wanted to title it, “How Not to Witness to Family Members.” I believe I have more qualifications in writing about all my failures […]
By Contributing Writer, Marci Ferrell Several years ago when my daughter was married and we only had my son living at home with us, a Christian friend of mine asked me what I was going to do now that my kids were grown. I didn’t hesitate but answered that I was going to continue to […]
By Contributing Writer, Marci Ferrell “…or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;” 1 Corinthians 13:5 How does my Christian life measure against these characteristics of true love? When we begin to understand that love is only love when it acts, and that it is not just […]
By Contributing Writer, Marci Ferrell As our family was exposed more to real food through resources such as Nourishing Traditions and Sue Gregg, the easiest way I found to implement them into our daily meals was to plan it. Little by little our family menus changed to incorporate more real food, and as time has […]
By Contributing Writer, Marci Ferrell As I was pondering where to begin in sharing about our time this past year in caring for my husband’s sweet Mama in her final days, I realized my first post at Visionary Womanhood was Biblically Caring for Our Aging Parents. We had just brought Mom home and were adjusting to caring for her […]
Every Christmas season I look forward to reading the account of the birth of Christ in Luke together as a family on Christmas morning. I’m amazed at Mary’s faith. What must have gone through her mind when Gabriel approached her? How did she process the news that she and Joseph were to raise the Son of God? What depths of sorrow did she endure while watching her Son die a horrific death on a cross? There are many lessons we can learn from her life, but I want to share just ten today.
By Contributing Writer, Marci Ferrell But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. Galatians 5:22-23 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; […]

Potty Training: Mom of Nine Tells All
By Natalie, Editress of Visionary Womanhood Potty Training: A Necessary Evil I’ve been potty training for 16 years now (well, not me—but, you know—my kids) and have succeeded, during that time, in potty training four girls and three boys so far. I won’t tell you how much poop and pee I’ve cleaned up from walls, […]
Help! Pregnancy is Making My Body Fall Apart!
By Natalie, Editress of Visionary Womanhood I received the following e-mail recently: My husband and I are in the long slow process of changing our thinking about family size. We are currently expecting our fifth little treasure, and we are so grateful, and excited. And a little scared sometimes, too, haha. :) Our oldest is […]
Ten Criteria for Choosing Homeschool Curriculum
By Contributing Writer, Bambi Moore This is the time of year that I’m cleaning out closets, donating or swapping books with other homeschool moms, and also making purchases. As homeschoolers we are blessed to have so many options out there, but what works for one family may not work for another. Also, there are so […]
Demystifying the Institute for Excellence in Writing
By Natalie Klejwa, Editress of Visionary Womanhood Institute for Excellence in Writing (IEW) Home educating mothers tend to be overwhelmed by two subjects in particular. Science and writing. OK. Upper level math too. Since I’m not much of a left-brained gal, I won’t be writing any posts about dead animal dissections or the wonders of […]
By Contributing Writer, Carmon Friedrich 25 years. We are coming up on that many years of homeschooling our children. Almost a quarter century! That’s not long enough to consider ourselves pioneers in this endeavor, but it does mean we have “seen it all” minus the persecution of the brave folks who forged a path that […]
By Contributing Writer, Kimberly@Raising Olives Four small children romp around me as I will my pregnant self to do the next thing. Two diaper changes. Four little ones dressed for the day. Breakfast for six. Wipe four small faces and eight small hands. Wash dishes. Stop to nurse the baby and change two more diapers. […]
Medical vs. Natural Childbirth: A Personal Story
By Natalie Klejwa, Editress of Visionary Womanhood Twenty years ago I was pregnant with our first baby and determined to have a mid-wife and experience pregnancy and birth in the most “natural” way possible. Nineteen weeks into the pregnancy I began to spot a little. Since I could feel the baby moving and had no […]
Eating the Placenta: A Christian Worldview Perspective
By Natalie Klejwa, Editress of Visionary Womanhood Placentophagy, the practice of eating the placenta after giving birth, is a subject of some interest among Wemmicks these days. After googling it, I only found one other “voice” out there raising the question of whether or not it is a morally viable option for those who claim […]
