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

Sunday Lunch: Meatloaf Stuffed Braided Bread

Meatloaf Stuffed Braided Bread will look like a fancy loaf of bread, but when you cut it, it is filled with meatloaf. You can also do this with meatballs. Just add a little spaghetti sauce and mozzarella cheese to the top of the meatballs before braiding the bread on top of it and serve with additional sauce.

1 loaf frozen bread dough
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 ½ lbs. ground beef
1 ½ c. soft bread crumbs
1 8oz. jar Cheese Whiz
¾ c. chopped onion
½ tsp. salt
¼ tsp. pepper

1. Thaw bread dough in fridge overnight, covered. Bring to room temp.**
2. Reserve 1 Tbsp. egg for glaze.
3. Combine remaining ingredients. Put in loaf pan and bake at 350˚ for 45 min. Drain.
4. Press dough into bottom of greased cookie sheet. Place loaf in center of dough.
5. Cut 6 strips in each side of dough and criss-cross over top.
6. Brush dough with reserved egg.
7. Return to oven and bake 20 min.
8. If you want to, you can brush butter on top and sprinkle parmesan cheese and parsley flakes

Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than for men... --Col 3:23

I love it when you tell us what you're bringing. I head straight for it, knowing what to look for. I haven't been disappointed yet!

I'm still waiting for that recipe from the white chicken chili :)

Jon and I love the continued fellowship at Legacy Baptist of eating a meal together. Not only is the teaching sound, the worship reverent, but eating together is just plain fun and gives wonderful opportunities to get to know everyone more deeply.

I have misplaced that recipe for the white chicken chili, but as soon as we locate it, we will post it and I will let you know. I made the soup base, which was a vidalia onion, green chili and garlic roue, but Jon and Brandon added the rest of the ingredients and changed the recipe to fit their taste. :-)

O.K. It was another hit.

You forgot to mention, Jon even washed dishes today!

Why do you think I married the guy!

There was an elderly lady in a nursing home in Siloam Springs that I would visit with my roommate, Julie Sawyer, when I was going to college at JBU and working at Dayspring with Julie. This wonderful old lady told me that the secret to a successful marriage is to make sure I marry a man that knows how to wash dishes. She smiled real big and knew there was more to it than that... but for some reason that stuck with me. :-)

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.
