"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

How much is your blog worth?

It is 3:30am ... crazy me. But I had to share this with you all before I forget. My 4 year old crawled into our bed between my husband and me five minutes ago. I woke up to her tapping my nose and saying, "BOOP !!!" I open my eyes and she then says, "I love you so much, Mommy." Then she fell right to sleep.
I love children. Thank you Lord for the privilege of raising them up, God-willing, for YOUR glory.

So sweet! Mine are in their teens; sometimes I miss those years...

THey are here and I already think of missing them. That's a good thing. It's the "stop and smell the roses my children pick for me" moments. My oldest just mutated into a teen and is the sweetest teen I know. I really like being around him. My 6 kids range from ages 4 to 13.
Thank you for commenting. Good to hear from you again.

It's nice to be back. I understand you're going through some MS difficulties. I'm so sorry to hear it.
I also have an auto-immune disease (Crohn's) and I've been having a few minor difficulties lately. Maybe it's partly the change in weather; I don't know. Anyway, it's no fun, is it? Thanks be to God for His strength in our weaknesses!
I am praying for you...

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to pray for you as well. It is a privilege ... an honor to go before His throne of Grace with your name on my heart.

Hi sis,
I looove children. None of my own, but prayerfully some day, I will be able to experience the same. The experience between you and your 4 year old just sounds absolutely beautiful.
And 6 kids ? Not being superficial, but you look awesome!
And as far as your MS, I will be praying for you as well.
Christ alone,
Jenn
