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

Indelible Imprint of Christ in Music

For over a year my teen boys have been instructed by David Attebery on acoustic, electric and bass guitars. It has been an honor to have him come to our home and teach our boys. Two months ago he took on teaching their band, VIVIT (Latin for "He Lives"). Mr. Atterbery recently pursued his passion to be a worship leader about 4 hours from here and will be moving at the end of the month. WE WILL MISS HIM!!! He has been an inspiration for the glory of God to my boys and to the band. Today was his last day with them. However, next week he will be at the concert that they are having for their school. They sounded INCREDIBLE today. Even Mr. Attebery got goose bumps as they were worshiping. What a joy to witness this next generation of worship leaders perform music that bring honor to the Lord. This is a 4 piece band with vocals, drums, bass and electric guitar and they range in age from 12 to 14 years old.

Mr. Attebery has left an indelible imprint of Christ on these kids. I have no doubt he will come back periodically to check on them. He has set it up that Neil Greenhaw will take his place. So, once a week beginning after the concert, Neil will come over and help them out. Neil graduated from the same university that my husband and I did with a degree in Music; John Brown University. He was the guitarist for The Katina's and is now the worship leader for Fellowship Bible Church in NW Arkansas. He can play just about every instrument and will not only teach them how to play, but will also, because of his experience of going on tour with the Katina's and living in Nashville, teach them stage presence and continue to teach them what it means to play for the glory of God... just like Mr. Attebery did.

"It is good to praise the LORD and make music to your name, O Most High..."--Ps 92:1

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.
