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

I am such a JERK!

...but may the Lord use me in spite of myself.

Challies wrote this article that you HAVE to read. It is called "Public Nuisance" and it is a BEAUTIFUL story!!!

I left a comment:

I had a neighbor behind me that moved in a year ago. His wife complained about everything. I found myself avoiding her and praying that they would move. After all, she seemed to hate it here and she never hesitated to let us know all the details. She would even come to our door and complain about everything we were seeming to do wrong. It got to the point that we would see her coming and somehow we would disappear.
Her husband stopped by this weekend as I was out power washing the van. He wondered if I had noticed that his wife and children weren’t anywhere to be seen lately. I sadly said that I did not notice because the weather was so cold lately that this was one of the first times we had been outside. He then told me that she took the children and left him. My heart shattered to pieces. I told him that I was so sorry and invited him to our neighborhood Bible study group. I could see the pain in his eyes and I felt like such a jerk. I went inside and broke down before the Lord begging Him to forgive me… pleading with Him to use our family to minister to this neighbor. Please pray for him...

Just wondering Lisa, how are things going with this man? Have you figured out how to befriend or at least show Christ to him? No pressure, just asking :)
