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

Powerful

The VIVIT band is now working on learning "Slow Fade" by Casting Crowns. Very powerful song and I love the video that they have made for the movie above. I look forward to watching "Fireproof", starring Kirk Cameron. I am confident it will be excellent.

Please pray for VIVIT. They are supposed to perform this afternoon outdoors, and it once again has been forecast for rain. But then, when it was forecast for rain when they performed outdoors for their school, it stopped just in time. :-)

They also have 2 big performances lined up this summer. They are not ready to play "Slow Fade" for this afternoon, but they are working hard to be ready by the next 2 performances. When the band played for their school and the school asked for them to do another round of the same songs, on the second round Josh forgot to re-tune his electric guitar. He had just played "Meant to Live" in drop D and was not used to playing "Holy is the Lord" after that song. I was proud of him for pressing on and trying to compensate. It was impossible for him to re-tune as they went along. David Attebery told them to never stop. To press through their mistakes and keep going.... and they did. It was a tough lesson, but he pressed on as he was taught to do. A similar thing happened to Caleb, the drummer, in the middle of the "Meant to Live." His drum set began to collapse. As I and Mr. Attebery held up the frame of the drums, Caleb kept playing with a smile on his face... not missing a beat. It was inspiring to witness.

They have added 2 new member to the band. Both are homeschoolers... one of which is praying about attending Providence Academy with Josh, Brandon and Caleb next year. There is the possibility of another addition that would play keyboards who is also a homeschooler. Providence students are essentially part-time homeschoolers. What an exciting venture for these young adults that range in age from 13 to 15 as they play songs that bring glory to our Heavenly Father.

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.
