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

The above links have some excellent resources and information. However, I do not endorse everything on these sites and prayerfully request that if you click on these links, you will do so keeping this in mind.

My blog is worth $379,370.88.

FREE STUFF!!! (UPDATE)

I received an order that was not mine from Cafepress.com
They said to keep it and they would send the order back out to the right person.

However, I am not a "Proud Army Dad" that wears an XL hoodie sweatshirt, nor am I a "Proud Army Grandma" that needs a tote bag. (apparently all worth ~$55)

If you know of anyone that would fit these descriptions, I would be happy to give them these items for free. The hoodie sweatshirt has a poem on the back that says:

"My Hero: When Freedom needed heroes to answer duty's call, you packed your bags and left home for the greater good of all. And though I can't be with you, I still do understand, you have an important job to do in a distant foreign land. You represent so many things, even though you are not here. Courage, faith and honor, the message is quite clear. So until your job is finished and you're back home to stay, remember, you're my hero and in my prayers each day."

My father is a retired officer that served in the Air Force for almost 25 years. My brother served awhile back in the army. I grew up a military brat and love the idea of giving this to someone that could proudly wear it. So please, do not hesitate to let me know if you know of someone or you are that someone who could make use of these items. (E-mail me at lisa4given@hotmail.com)

UPDATE: WOW!!! That went within the first 5 minutes of posting. I did find the site that has the exact design that was sent to us. It can be found at www.Iraqifreedom.com. On the left sidebar are a whole bunch of really cool designs. I like the bumper sticker that says: If you love your freedom, THANK MY DAD and the coffee mug that says "Land of the Free, Courtesy of the brave!"

The Johnson's at GBC would fit this--except for the G-ma part, their grandchildren are too young to be in the Army, yet!!

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.
