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

Argh... or however you "spell" frustration

My Elizabeth Prentiss book has been misplaced. I was all set and very excited to share with you what I gleaned this week from chapter 3, BUT I CANNOT FIND MY BOOK!!! If you have not already, consider making your way over to the Girl Talk post on chapter 3.
I, once again, have a house FULL of six sick children. I would say 'tis the season, but we seem to be getting hit especially hard this time around. My husband and I are a bit under the weather, too, and we are still in the midst of home renovations that will likely continue for another 6 months??? or so.
There are ample opportunities to proclaim the Gospel around here. Please pray for our framer. He experienced a Jehovah's Witness upbringing and said he fell away from it until he started having children... which apparently made him interested in going back. I find JW's especially difficult to share the Gospel with. Our electrician has a very sad childhood story, but appears open to the Gospel.
I am SO thankful for our building manager. He is a solid Christian that loves to proclaim the Gospel. He and his wife are neighbors and she is one of my dearest friends... I have mentioned her before. She is the young lady whose first husband died within 36 hours of being diagnosed with leukemia, and she is one of the young ladies I go prayer walking with.
Continue to pray for my friend who is still in the hospital, as well as her roomie that we shared the Gospel with.

Ah... the Gospel is precious. A treasure not to be hidden, but displayed not only in one's life, but proclaimed with joy and reverence.

Anyone who thinks home school moms are isolated hasn't met you! For now, the mission field is coming to your house--how cool is that?

Judging by all the posts you've made recently I'm guessing that your home internet connection has been restored and you're no longer "thumb typing" on the Blackberry???? That or you're gonna be hurting for a few days--Ouch!!! Nice to see you posting more frequently lately--I've missed you.

There are plenty of opportunities to proclaim the Gospel... even if there were no construction projects around here. Neighbors, people at Walmart, the eye doctor, the vet... our own home. Everywhere we turn is a mission field. What a privilege to even have these opportunities and to be used to proclaim such a precious treasure is an honor. To HIM be ALL the glory!

My internet connection is back up. I have missed posting. Felt like I was going to *BURST*

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.
