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

Neurologist Appointment Today...

Yep... it was time. And it is also time for my annual MRI set for July. The appointment was a tad discouraging; but then my hope and joy is in the Lord and not my circumstances. I would appreciate your continued prayers. The MRI will disclose whether or not my brain lesions are growing or if the Rebif injections are causing them to shrink. (The "my brain lesions" link above leads to my last MRI that shows the size of the lesions)

God-willing there will be a Divinely ordained miracle and they will be gone.

Lisa, I'll make you a part of my regular prayers.

Bless you, sister!

Thank you for your prayers. It is actually rather uncomfortable for me to share this part of my life with people; but I have learned to laugh lest I cry and I have learned the invaluable lesson through this that my true joy is in the Lord.

I do covet your prayers and am honored that you would even think to do so.

Oh Lisa!

Please know I have prayed for you too!! I am encouraged by your response to this trial. Praise the Lord.

I will keep you in my prayers Lisa - while waiting for your MRI results and that they have good news. I too have MS and face its many struggles. You are blessed with a loving husband and many beautiful children - I will keep them in my prayers as well that God bless and keep you all.
