Stephani, her parents, and six younger siblings make their home on a hobby farm in Minnesota where Stephani enjoys growing vegetables in the garden, acting in Christian dramas alongside her family and friends in their barn, and singing around a sink of dirty dishes with her sisters. Since graduating high school several years ago, Stephani has been passionately pursuing opportunities to serve her family, minister to the body of Christ and unbelievers, and continue her education. The Lord is filling her heart with awe for His glory and has given her a desire to share the matchless “treasure in the field” (Matthew 13:44) with others – particularly young ladies! For several years Stephani has been involved in young women’s ministry by organizing events, leading discipleship groups, teaching classes, and coordinating Christian fellowship opportunities. She is eager to remember the sweetness of the gospel, the works of the Lord, and the beauty of biblical femininity with young ladies on her blog Cause Me To Remember.

A recent assignment required each student to submit a personal question they wanted to discuss during an upcoming class period.

© flucas – Fotolia.com By Contributing Writer, Stephani Attempting to live a germ-free, completely sanitary, uncontaminated life is a naïve thought in the thick of a cold winter season – especially when family members leave home, later rejoin the family, and then accidentally share their newly-acquired germs! I live at home with my parents and […]
By Contributing Writer, Stephani January’s theme at Visionary Womanhood is Suffering. There have been tremendously insightful posts written over the course of this month relating to so many areas of life. I began thinking about another season of life – singleness. Is singleness a season of suffering? Singleness Would Be Easy IF Would it be […]
By Contributing Writer, Stephani New Year’s celebrations follow swiftly on the heels of Christmas. I enjoy looking back on a full year of memories and then looking ahead and planning for the next season of life. However, I don’t want to pack up Christmas and move into the New Year as if it is a […]
By Contributing Writer, Stephani The sun wouldn’t rise for another hour or two, yet I could hear Dad flick on the light switch. “Good morning,” he said, encouraging me to lift my eyelids and prepare for a chilly day in the branches of a tree. In less than 40 minutes I was dressed, had a […]
By Contributing Writer, Stephani Today is an ordinary, extraordinary day… The seemingly ordinary… I wake up. I shower. I read my Bible. I study. I work. I eat. I play with little siblings. I run errands. I e-mail. I blog. I cook. I teach. I read. I spend time with my family. I brush my teeth. […]
By Contributing Writer, Stephani Our Great Need Gazing on the unending jewels of the gospel transforms the way I think about life, people, problems, and “growing up.” I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. –John 10:11 Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay […]

Choosing Which Hills to Die On
By Contributing Writer, Molly Evert This week’s posts have touched on some hot button issues including higher education, vocation, and living “off the grid.” Unfortunately, there are no debate-ending proof texts on any of these issues that clearly tell us which choices are “the biblical ones.” In her post about college yesterday Natalie went after […]
A Few Things I’ve Learned From 16 Years of Homeschooling
By Natalie Klejwa, Editress of Visionary Womanhood This month (August 2013) we’re going to focus on home education. To kick us off, I thought I’d share a mish mash of things I’ve had to learn (sometimes the hard way) over my own 16 years of homeschooling, because folks, I have finally arrived at homeschool nirvana.

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, […]
Busy Moms Get Real: “I Can’t Get it All Done!”
By Contributing Writer, Kelly Crawford “Remember the principle of gardening: a lot of sweat and tears are required before the reward of harvest. It’s the same with mothering.” A reader sent me an email that is not unlike many that I receive, so I decided to include an excerpt and answer it here in a […]

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.

When Christmas Morning is a Disappointment
By Contributing Writer, Bambi Moore Maybe some of you have played out this same scenario in your own living room on Christmas morning: The family gathers around an enormous stack of gifts. Little Billy opens up two gifts and his eyes are as big as saucers. “WOW!! Thank you!! Is that really for me??!!” He’s […]
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 […]
