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

Terrified... but Honored

It seems as a result of participating in a book study with Girl Talk, I was contacted to start reviewing books for women and by women, as well as children's books. Some reviews will happen before the books are released and others are already out there. I am excited and a bit terrified... honored really. This is all quite unexpected even though reading, reviewing and recommending is something I do anyway on this blog. I do love to read but will certainly never be on the scale of Challies.
I do request your prayers. I have three books coming for review in the mail right now. One is set to be published before Mother's Day that I am especially looking forward to getting a preview peek at. It sounds like it is going to be excellent.

Cheers, Wilm

How exciting! I think (know) you'll do well at this and no doubt will enjoy it very much. Happy reading!

Oh, I can't wait!

You are a very good reviewer and I'm delighted for you!

I exaggerated on the "terrified" part. I really am excited about this and look forward to it. My husband has okayed it and I am so thankful for his accountability.

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.
