I don’t mean to carry burdens. Sometimes I don’t even see them coming, and it’s not until weeks later I realise I’ve been labouring under them. Burdens are cares, right? They’re worries, anxieties, and concerns. They are matters that weigh heavy upon our minds and hearts. But Jesus said to cast ALL our cares upon Him for He cares for us. He said to come unto Him all who are weary and heavy laden, to learn from Him, that He…
Being a follower of Christ is all about a surrendered life, and there are costs involved we never even knew of. Sometimes I sense the Lord doing something in me, and I can’t even tell what it is. Often I’m experiencing some discomfort, pain or suffering in a way that I can’t put into words. It’s not necessarily that my external circumstances have changed; by anyone’s account, my life appears to be going along just swimmingly. But there is an apprehension that something…
Male members of the species do not be alarmed at this post! Even men can appreciate the ways in which we can see the Lord through this strange and peculiar phenomenon that occurs in a female’s body when she’s….well …getting tired. Following along the theme of my last post 9 Ways Every Pizza Eating Believer Can See Christ, I want to share with you just how even in the experience of menopause, we can see the Lord. (I don’t have…

Recently I was having a conversation with somebody who has walked with the Lord for over 70 years. He shared how he had recently been asked by a fellow in Albania, one of the greatest and most important questions of all time…”Who is God?” It got me thinking about how I would answer that question. And what would my response say of me and my relationship with God? Well, I believe I would say something like this … God is the…
Well, I went to see the movie “Everest” last week and in 3D. Wow. I really recommend the 3D version on the big screen. It’s the true story of a team of hikers on their trek to the summit of Mount Everest. Pretty soon into the film, I began to see and hear the Lord in it and this progressed throughout the film. For us believers, Christ is our summit. Like the summit of Mount Everest to these hikers, Christ is our ultimate,…
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.

Organic meaning: relating to or derived from living matter; living, live, animate, biological, natural So some of us who have stepped outside of the traditional and institutional system of church life as we have known it, call our meeting together ‘organic’ church. Now, I know there are many brothers and sisters in the body of Christ who meet this way and although once described their meetings as ‘organic’ are turning away from the expression ‘organic’ church. This is because as they rightly…
Sending a BIG HUG to all my blogger friends and blog followers! I cannot describe how you encourage me. Not that long ago, blogging was an unknown medium to me. It is a world that has slowly opened up to me as a result of being introduced to well-known blogger Frank Viola on frankviola.org by my husband. It’s a long story short, but very basically, through reading Frank’s books, my husband and I found ourselves in touch with one of Frank’s colleagues, Milt Rodriguez who also has a blog…
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…
