© rnl – Fotolia.com By Contributing Writer, Stephani This past school year I led discipleship courses for young ladies at a local homeschool academy. A recent assignment required each student to submit a personal question they wanted to discuss during an upcoming class period. One fourteen-year-old girl submitted this question: What are some practical things […]
By Contributing Writer, Jeannette Paulson I recently heard a delightful story of a young woman, Christine, who fell deeply in love with a piano player, Martin, at Bible School. The only problem was that he was unaware and going out with another girl. After one year she transferred to another school, but when she heard […]
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 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 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 […]
My first two children, now 18 and 16, were boys. God blessed us with a daughter 12 years ago, and now that we are entering those special “young adult” years with a girl, I’m once again venturing into exciting new waters. This year for science, we are going to study foods and nutrition (with some […]
By Contributing Writer, Stephani Upon graduation I had four younger siblings. Now I have six. Two of my sisters have graduated high school, another sibling is in junior high, and the three youngest are all under the age of 6! You guessed it… my parents will be homeschooling for years to come… Impacting the Next […]
By Contributing Writer, Jennifer Ross We have 11 children, 2 have graduated, 6 are “doing school,” and 3 are just babies still. What’s a home educating Mother to do? Hint: Enlist help from the older ones. Well actually, our oldest son is on his own now, but our oldest (and graduated) daughter is here at home, training […]
By Contributing Writer, Bria Crawford The King of the universe came to conquer the world. His method? Washing feet. For you were called to freedom, brothers (and sisters). Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. Galatians 5:13 We young women are in a time […]

Facebook Hissy Fits (and How to Avoid Them)
I love and hate Facebook. I love to use it for my business and this blog, and I love the handful of groups I participate in. But otherwise, I think it’s the pits. Just think about election season, for example. The season for “friends” and “followers” to put down the masks and start shooting. But […]
You’ve seen it. The arched back. The clenched fists. The scrunched up face. The flailing feet. The hideous shrieks of indignation. And all you wanted to do was put their shoes on so they could do what they wanted to do: go outside and play. They thought you wanted to torture them, because, you know, […]
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, […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
