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

Sweet Godly Women

Through the timely article posted by Challies called Testimony Tuesday, I have not only been blessed by the reading of some truly inspiring testimonies, but through the links on that post, I was directed to some incredible women bloggers that I will be adding to my blogroll HERE.
They are:

KIM: This is a young lady that attends a solid church in Arkansas. She lives only 4 hours away. She has a beautiful testimony that inspired THIS post. Her blog is called Lifesong where she writes I welcome the days of much needed grace,the times of sweet victories,and the tears of trials,knowing it is all for God's glory.

Rebekah has a blog called Sweet Tea with Lemonade of which she explains: Sweet tea because life is so sweet in the Lord, and lemon because we live in a fallen world with some tart or bitter things, and as we learn to glorify Him even in the trials, He grants us the faith to persevere and mature into something beautiful.

Jill: She looks like a fairly new blogger but I couldn't help but find her "About Me" incredibly sweet where she writes I have simple goals. To be obedient to my God. To be the best wife to my wonderful husband. To be a caring, nurturing mother. To teach my children diligently. To be loving, gentle, kind, tenderhearted, faithful, joyful, peaceful, good, and self-controlled. That sounds simply enough. With God's help I succeed, without it I fail.

Diane is one of those kind and encouraging women that also makes you think Biblically. Someone I would love to meet and give a great big hug.

Kristina runs a blog that posts some REALLY YUMMY looking recipes that I am sure to try plus she LOVES the Lord.
