Getting an Eternal Perspective in the Midst of Loss
By Natalie, Editress of Visionary Womanhood Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. (1 Corinthians 13:7) I always thought this verse was referring to our duty to bear all the nasty things that other Wemmicks do to us. We were to bear with them in love. Bear up, […]
By Contributing Writer, Tyanne Death. For the people of this earth, there is nothing more feared, more final, more misunderstood, more hated, more soul-wrenching, or more life-altering than death. It is a guaranteed reminder for every Christian that our time on this earth is limited, and an eternal home awaits us beyond this fallen world. […]
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, Kelly Crawford Last summer, I found myself in a place no other human could touch. How can a place such as that be so painful and yet so glorious all at once? I was utterly depressed. Not so much an overwhelming sadness, though sadness was involved, but more of a despondency, the […]
By Natalie, Editress of Visionary Womanhood Dear Heavenly Father, I lift up these treasures that You have entrusted to my care during this brief life. You are their Creator. You are familiar with each cell in their bodies. You are familiar with each moment of their lives. You know their strengths and weaknesses. You know […]
By Contributor Ann Dunagan of Harvest Ministry This month, as we’re focusing on suffering, I want to encourage you to remember the persecuted church worldwide . . . in the context of a story from my kitchen and my kids. “Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.” Romans 12:15 Let’s Keep […]
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 […]
By Contributing Writer, Yvonne Harink If you google the word “labor pain” your screen will likely fill up with posts all related to the pain of child-bearing.

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 […]
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, […]

Waffling On What To Do About Christmas
By Contributing Writer, Marcia Wilwerding The Waffling Begins I suppose this post is as much to do with where our family is now in regard to what to do about Christmas as it is about telling you what to do if your family is still waffling on the subject. While some people have never once […]
10 Lessons from the Life of Mary
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.
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.
