God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number…” (Genesis 1: 28) I have never had children of my own. It’s not because I haven’t wanted to; the timing was just never quite right. At times I have really wanted to start a family. As I was preparing to write this post and contemplated the question of why God wanted a family, I asked myself ‘why did I want a family?’ In answering that question, I…
For the month of January, the awesome dudes on 3rdrace.org blogged about ‘God’s House’. It was part of a series they’re doing pertaining to God’s Eternal Purpose – (God having an ultimate intention, desire and passion for obtaining a house and a family for the Father, a bride and a body for the Son and a temple for the Holy Spirit). For the month of February they are focussing on God’s desire for a ‘Family’ as the next part in this series and I will be…
This is a question I’ve pondered many times in my life. As I’m getting to know the Lord, I’m coming to understand that there is a reason behind every aspect of Him even if I don’t know what it is yet. Every part of Jesus’ life on earth and every part of everything that God does, points us back to Himself in some way. So ever so briefly this morning, I pondered again, why did Jesus die at age 33? So…
Sometimes when I imagine what the gospel sounds like to someone who’s never heard it before, I guess it would sound a little like a comic book, like science fiction. Accepting that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, came into time from outside of time, Eternity, and saved the human race sounds like a science fiction movie. An awesome one, at that. But do we realise it is the original and authentic, historically true and eternal reality from which all…
There seems to be a recurring theme coming up and staring at me lately and its the theme of simplifying our lives for Jesus. Now, that might sound like some kind of ‘Jesus People’ slogan (what’s wrong that anyway?) but it is really quite a profound call to God’s people, in my opinion. It’s a call for the church to let go of the materialism and pull of the spirit of this world and to live simpler lives that are…
Please view this 3.25 minute clip before reading on. The other weekend at our gathering of saints, we were sharing about God’s unlimited creativity and reflecting on how Christ is God’s unlimited expression. As we were all sharing aspects of the Lord, which was such a beautiful experience, the Spirit reminded me of the above clip I had viewed a few years back, which I hadn’t thought of since. When God reminded me of this I was moved to tears at…
Hi everybody (& especially to all dog lovers)! Rocky here & welcome to my second guest blog post where I continue my extraordinary interviewing skills with Donna! If you missed the first part of this interview you can go to it by clicking on this link here Previous Post. I suggest you check that out before reading on so that this one makes sense.

Welcome to Drawing From The Well’s first-ever Guest Blog post! Yup, I’m a dog. My name is Rocky, and Donna is my mother. The way I came to be a guest blogger is, I noticed she’s become very busy lately, in her office. So I trotted on in there one day and asked just what she was up to. Well, I was so intrigued that we decided it might be fun for me to interview her! (tail wagging). We had…
The other day a sister shared with us in our group, what she saw of the Lord whilst planting some trees with her two little boys in tow. She explained the process of digging the hole and filling it with water and then removing the potted tree from its pot. She explained how because the tree had been growing in a pot, its roots had grown long over time, but they went round and round in circles and were all…
