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

More Than Amazing!!!

A friend sent me an e-mail asking me to think about what I am thankful for. Here is a bit of what I wrote to her:

I began writing and realized how inadequate I felt in typing out what I am thankful for... there were just so many things. Even in trials the Lord is so merciful to allow me to see His goodness, His faithfulness. It is by His grace alone that He has made me aware that I have sinned against my Holy God... and even in this awareness He has been gracious not to have me see the full vileness of my sin all at once, for He knows I could not stand, much less crawl.
He has extended a pardoning mercy, acquitted my soul of receiving just punishment, provided an undeserved and perfect remedy for the righteous sentence of His holy law. He has, through this precious Redeemer, made a way that cannot be stripped from me. Given me a hope that withstands being pressed on every side.
Amazing grace? More than amazing!!! For in His goodness, He even delights in this merciful provision and glories in the cross His only Son suffered and died on for sinners such as I. Something I really cannot fully comprehend.
I could go on and on... and I could tell you about the blessings of my dear husband and children... for even these such blessings are abundant and overwhelming. Thank you for the opportunity to reflect on these things... but then, O Lord, forgive me for not having done this as I should daily. I have taken for granted this priceless, unmerited gift. Though I deserve to have my name blotted out... You have, in Your Divine mercy and sovereign grace, blotted out my sins instead.
