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

How to Generate More Traffic

All you have to do is write about Beth Moore. Not all the great things you like about her... but what concerns you from a Biblical standard. And then hit publish. BEWARE. She has lots of followers that will send you hate mail no matter how gracious you are when you publish your concerns. Oh... and yes, there are some really sweet things that I genuinely like about Beth Moore... but then what happens when the valid concerns begin to seriously outweigh those sweet things?
I really have no desire to be a "watchblog"... I did initially write about controversial topics, and though I have not changed my mind on anything because no one presented any evidence that would cause me to even question these things, I have changed in the spirit of how I communicate and what I want this blog to be.

I am not a Challies... I tried the book review blogging thing and though I still read and review, I do not have the backbone to publish my opinions on the books I think stink. I just want to graciously and truthfully share my opinion on a book when people ask.

I am not a Pyro... They are Apologetic Truth Bloggers... in my opinion. And I just do not have the knowledge, nor the tenacity.

I am not a Campi... he is more of a Berean watchblogger. Something I am not called to do. Tried it... not good at it.

I am just me, blogging about the things I enjoy, things I am learning, things that make me laugh... and cry. So I guess I am just a Journal Blogger. Writing about life and the progress and various lapses and digressions that require my repentance and my longsuffering and merciful Heavenly Father's forgiveness through my sanctification process.

Me... just a blip in this fast-paced world longing to honor my Lord.
By the grace of God, teachable but not tossable me.
But then... this blog really isn't about me, but about the amazing transforming power of a God that can use ... even a blip like me for His glory. Not because I have done anything special. No. But because His son did something AWESOME!!! Excruciatingly, to the point of death and yet still living, jaw-dropping AWESOME!!!

When did you write about BM? I'm a subscriber. How did I miss that?!

Just Google "Beth Moore Testimony"... It will be in the top 10. I became tired of the hate mail so I "unpublished" it on my site, but unfortunately it is so ingrained in the Google system, that it is more like a recurring nightmare.

Well, "Journal Blogger", I love your blog just the way it is :-)

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.
