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

Airhead Moment

I have had them... and if we are all honest, you don't have to be blonde or female to have them. As a matter of fact, everyone has them at some point.

Let me share a phone conversation that I had today...

Me: Hello

Caller: Is there a Jon Nunley there?

Me: That is my husband. How can I help you?

Caller: Was he just at Lowes returning an item?

Me: Yes.

Caller: He left his drivers license here and will need to show a picture ID to be able to get it back.

Me: Ma'am, you have his picture ID and when he comes to pick it up, he will look just like the picture on it.

Caller: Well, he will just need to show me something with his name on it then.

Me: Ummm... do you have any suggestions? Because I am thinking him showing up looking just like the picture on the drivers license that you have in your possession and him telling you that he accidently left it there should be sufficient. What do you think?

Caller: Yes... well that does make sense.

Me: Thank you so much for calling. My husband will probably be there soon. :-)

Yes... well, it made me laugh so hard after I got off the phone... and then all my airhead moments came to mind. :-D

It was a great abdominal workout and rather therapeutic.

Lisa,

One of the great joys of adopting overseas is that you get to experience cross cultural airheadedness. When we were adopting one set of kids the Russian government wanted us to have everything apostilled (the equivalent of notarized for international use). Well there was one document that the State of OK would not apostille because it had not been notarized. However, we could not have it notarized because it was an official US government form and so the notary had no authority to authenticate it.

So how did we solve the problem. Well we made a copy of the document. We wrote a note on it that it was a true and accurate copy. The notary notarized the note. And finally the State apostilled the copy. So rather than getting an original official government form the Russian government got a copy with an apostilled note that it was a true and accurate copy. But they were happy because it had the pretty little seal on it.

Ah, the good ole days.

That is a good example of airheadedness...I know I have said things that make little sense like that!

Lisa, you did a good job of thinking on your feet. I probably would have been wracking my brain trying to think of what type of ID he could take back! I would have sent his passport, most likely!

The other day someone called (wrong number) and asked if anyone here moved mobile homes. After I politely told them no and hung up, I realized that I should have looked around at the kids and asked if anyone wanted to earn some money before I answered! After all, they DO all kinds of odd jobs...

Blessings

That's great! I've had so many, but I really can't remember them right now...I think I also suffer from Alzheimer's (even at my young age of 19).

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.
