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

Lord, I Thank You

... for this season of rest from multiple sclerosis exacerbations.

That's right!!! I have only had minor annoying tidbits of MS stuff to deal with. It has been awhile since I have had to resort to a cane or a walker. As for the neurologist that said to prepare for a wheelchair, apparently God has other plans. The MS injections are even getting better. No more intense pain all over my body. The headaches and nausea are more manageable.

The most exciting thing for me is that I am working out again. Not only am I taking classes like "pump and jump" and "spinning", but I am even training my older 2 boys how to use free weights, circuit training, etc. I use to be a personal trainer and aerobic kickboxing instructor and now I get to use my experience in training my children. Though kickboxing may be a far-fetched goal... maybe I can even get my leg strength up enough to kick again????

The boys and I have even been playing racquetball together... and I am back taking guitar lessons alongside them with David Attebery. He comes to our home once a week to teach the boys. At first, I was taking lessons with them, but with the home renovations and physical challenges with the MS, I had to stop. I still have a bit of hand weakness and some tremors when I play, but last week was my first lesson back with the boys... and it felt GREAT!!!! Brandon does bass, Josh electric, and I do acoustic. As a family of 8, We have 5 more family members to add to the family band to become another "Partridge-type" family... except we jam to Christian music. :-D

Oh yes... racquetball... when I first taught my boys how to play, I beat them. Now, however, they tend to cream me. Aaaargh! :-/

I just want to thank you all for your prayers regarding the MS. Obviously God is answering. God-willing, the Lord will heal my body completely of it, but if in His sovereign will He chooses not to, even though I pray that He does and I know that He will heal me in His timing whether it be here on earth or when I am appointed to enter heaven and worship Him for eternity, I ALSO KNOW without a doubt that my God's purposes are good and I will rest in Him.

Wonderful news! Yeah!! I always read your posts and I am happy to hear that you are doing better on the injections. God is good!

Hey Rachael... you have been on my mind a lot lately.
Thank you so much for your words of encouragement. YES! God is good... even in the midst of the storms of life... actually that is when His goodness shines more brightly and sadly, that is sometimes when my blinders can go on as I fail to remember that He is with me, upholding me.
In times of lean and times of plenty may we remember God's goodness... His faithfulness.

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.
