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

Too Interesting...

My husband put me on I.V. fluids yesterday. I was apparently dehydrated from the stomache virus that hit our family (5 of the 6 kids and both my husband and I) and a large portion of our small congregation. My pastor wrote a few words on it HERE likening it to Galatians 5:9. A little leaven leavens the whole lump of dough.

I'm BACK... which might creep my egalitarian or evangelical feminist readers out.

But hey, I have strong convictions and as a Christian women longing to bring honor to my holy God and His knowable truth in a world that embraces relative truth I SHOULD have strong convictions seasoned, of course, with grace, but uncompromising in HIS truth. By the grace of God, I am teachable... but not tossable. Especially by every wind of doctrine.

Had to share this story with you. My son Brandon has an assignment. He has to write a biography about one of his grandparents. I suggested my dad. His response: "Mom, I do not want to write about Grandpa Nyles. His life is TOO interesting. I want to write about someone boring so my paper will be short."

That is not going to happen. All of his grandparents have lived incredibly interesting lives.

I understand why he put you on I.V.!!!! That little virus has plowed through our church in recent weeks, and visited my home school co-op, AND MY HOME last week!!!

Judging by your numerous recent posts, I'd say you're feeling better!! Glad to hear it!
