My Husband, My brother in Christ

I especially enjoy writing about Biblical Womanhood as well as the application of Biblical theology from the perspective of a woman longing to communicate my love for who God is as revealed in His Word of knowable and applicable truth and NOT who I imagine He is from some sentimental, me-centered perspective that is based on relative, roller-coaster ride of self-sustained religion 'truth'. In other words, I like to encourage others to press on in His truth and His love for His glory.

But then, everything I have written has likely been said a whole lot better by someone else. I definitely have no insight that is deeper than what God has already revealed. Therefore, if you find anything of value here than give God the glory!

"Lisa at Deo Volente is another blogger that I'd love to meet with and share some coffee. She's been through some rough circumstances in her life, and she's come through them clearly showing the grace of God, and honouring Him through those circumstances. Her various posts are sometimes funny, often really make you think, and always theologically sound."-Jen at JoythruChrist

Lisa is passionate about her reformed faith and her posts reflect how her faith is practically applied to situations in her life. Very difficult ones, from time to time...Ukrainiac

"Lisa's site has become one of my new favorites to read and to participate. I think she brings a nice touch to the application of theology to everday life as a woman and as a mother. It's sort of like Secret— strong enough for a man, but made for a woman." -Young Wilderness Voice

"Praise the Lord! I have finally found the sold-out, brainy Christian women bloggers, and from what I can tell so far, most of them are Reformed to boot! I knew they had to be out there somewhere. It was just a matter of time. I was directed to Lisa’s blog this morning ...which led to Carla’s blog ... and these are leading me to many others." -Katy at Logoscentric

WAY too much fun!!!

Yesterday was refreshing and exhausting. We went to Tulsa. I highly recommend going to Mekong River. It is a vietnamese restaurant off of 71st. YUM!!!
Besides the joy of memorizing Philippians as we were driving, the conversations with and between my little ones are typically enjoyable. Now remember these are all of my children talking here.

"Brandon are you going to marry Rachael?" says Katie who is 5.

"Uh, I can't do THAT!" says Brandon. (He's 11 and Rachael is 3... not that age is the factor here.)

Rachael says, "Because I want to marry momma."

"I'm going to marry daddy." says Katie... and then Jayson... and then Shane. (The twins are 4)

Picture my 11 and 12 year old boys laughing hysterically.
...So then we had an unexpected conversation about marriage.

This made me think of another conversation between my oldest boy with his girl cousin. They were about 3 and 5 years old at the time.

"Josh, did you know chicken comes from chickens?"
"Do you know soccer?" he replies.

"That doesn't make sense. Do you know ham-burgers comes from a pig?"

"Do you know dirt?"

(She is beginning to get annoyed because he seems to not be taking this conversation seriously.)

"J-o-o-sh-sh-sh! Do you know roast comes from roosters?"

She is totally serious... he is just responding cause he has no clue. Can you believe this happens at such a young age?

Great dialogue :)

I think Brendan still wants to marry Chelle. But that may change soon. He has a friend who happens to be a girl. It probably gets me back for having my first gf in kindergarten.

I'm glad to hear you guys had a great day. You certainly deserve to have one.

We too had a great day, but exhausting-- in a relaxing sort of way. Good luck figuring that one out :)

Below is a video testimony about how God saved our marriage after an 18 month separation, 5 years into our marriage. We had 2 children when we separated. We now have 6 children and have been married for... well, OH so much longer!!!... by the grace of our faithful Heavenly Father.
