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

Do Not Be Ashamed and Do Not Give Up

Please watch this to the end. It was sent to me by a dear friend.

Chris Allen wrote this about the video: True story of one man on George street who witnessed faithfully. Most on this earth may not know him, but I tell you that in heaven, he is more famous than any celebrity, and I admire and respect what he has done while alive on this earth. Mr. Genor from Sydney, Australia.
Before we start praising this man too much, we have to remember the sovereign providence and Grace of God. As marvelous a story this is about one man reaching people for Christ all around the world from George Street in Australia. We must realize that far more marvelous is God delivering these people to this man to use Mr. Genor to reach every tribe and tongue and nation. Remember, Jesus said "I will build my church". So, whether the rest of us do our part or not... whether we tithe, evangelize, or study our bibles... No matter how lame we are as a church in our country.... God will still go on building His church. And God gets all the Glory. Mr. Genor wasn't trying to do anything but be faithful. He only wanted to show his gratitude to God by telling as many people as he could about Jesus Christ his Savior (Make sure you pop over to his site.)

I don't know why, but I'm crying at the end of that too.

Crying in response to this is a good thing. It means you understand the significance of it. This video encourages us to not get discouraged, but rather to tell that one person about Christ and accept the fact that we personally cannot reach them all, but God can.

Those of us in the adoption community often get overwhelmed by the needs of orphans and the sheer numbers of them who need homes. We want to save them all, but we simply cannot.

I was just thinking the other day that if one or two of my kids (adopted OR biological) decided to adopt an orphan or minister in an orphanage, those who can be reached will grow exponentially as the generations go on.

We cannot save them all, but God can use us in ways that we could never imagine.

To Him be the glory!

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.
