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

Monday Madness: Depue no

My boys and I decopauged and antiqued a world map onto one of our dining tables awhile back. It was quite fun and turned out to be very functional and beautiful. We would sit down to eat and play "I Spy." We learned about islands and locations we had never heard of before. Like Christmas Isand and Easter Island. "Depue no" is how they say "see you later" on Easter Island. I will not be blogging this week... so "Depue no" until next week. May the Lord abundantly bless you all.

He who rushes from his bed to his business
and waits not to worship in prayer,
Is as foolish as though he had not
put on his clothes or washed his face,
And is as unwise as though
he dashed into battle without arms or armor.

I am not a big fan of the movie The Passion of Christ. I believe it is not Biblically accurate in many areas. However the following excerpt from the movie is one that I found to be the most accurate to what likely happened to Christ. *WARNING* It will make you weep.

No one deserves God's mercy. But to those who are saved, It is God alone that must receive the glory and to those who perish, blame is upon themselves alone. In the words of Christ, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." (John 14:6) So... what must YOU do to be saved?

Thanks. The reminder is good!

DO you know who sings the song?

Sandy Patti sings it. It's beautiful... makes my eyes drip everytime. Even without the movie clip. (That is what my 3 year old says when I cry... "Momma, your eyes are dripping."... while my 5 year old daughter says they are "leaking.")

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.
