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

What a MESS

I finally gained access to my e-mail account. I then checked my "sent" messages and found that someone had compromised my supposedly secure e-bay/ paypal account... which is how they gained access to my e-mail and my bank account. They tried to purchase 5 sony playstation 2's. I had to shut down my bank account and cut up my debit card. Thankfully my bank is top-notch.
I am also very thankful for my Blackberry. It is through my Blackberry phone e-mail service that I was alerted to the fact that someone had changed my e-mail password within minutes of it occurring.

Oh that's terrible! Are they going to be able to track them and prosecute?

I'm so sorry this happened to you. I hope this gets straightened out really fast!

Wow - it sure is good that you found this information out so quickly!! It is so frustrating when folks do things like this. Someone got our credit card number and charged monthly access to a website that I don't even feel comfortable mentioning on your nice, clean blog!!

Glad you got that straightened out quickly!

Blessings

E-bay is apparently on it... and my bank has been alerted so hopefully they will get it all figured out. It was time-consuming on a day that I was supposed to be teaching my children to prepare for their university-model school day. I had to stay up with my older 2 boys until 10pm getting school done. I have better things to do with my time, but then, my God is sovereign and allowed this for a reason. If anything, it was an opportunity to learn (once again, the hard way) to be more protective of my private info... even though I thought I was pretty conservative.

I had a wonderful morning this morning in spite of yesterdays ordeal. Spent the morning in prayer with other parents that attend that school. Very fruitful time that got my eyes off me (ick) and on my precious and faithful Lord.

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.
