Hi all, Remember aaaaaages ago I used to link to a podcast site that Derek and I own called The Ancient Pathways? Well, this is just a little post to let you know that after a very long break, there is a new episode uploaded over there. It’s episode #4 and there’s more on the way folks! For those of you who are newly subscribed to Drawing From The Well (thank you đ ) The Ancient Pathways is a…
 Praise Me! See who I Am! Be blown away by Me! Be breath-taken! I God, the God and Father of Jesus Christ, have blessed you. I have favoured you. I have showered you with Myself in heavenly realms! That’s right, in heavenly realms and with every spiritual blessing – that is everything spiritual that you need, every piece of goodness, everything that is of Me is…..in Christ! Everything that is of Me is in Christ My Son and has…
Many say that Christianity is a religion, but I disagree. Others say it is a way of life, a preference, a practice, a faith or an outlook. I disagree with this in one sense whilst agreeing with it in another. Let me explain. The Oxford dictionary defines religion like this; The belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially personal God or gods. A particular system of faith and worship A pursuit or interest to which someone ascribes…
Our worst case scenario can be Godâs best case scenario. When Caleb saw the giants in the land promised to them, he said this; âOnly rebel not against Jehovah, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defence is removed from over them, and Jehovah is with us: fear them not.â (Numbers 14:9 ASV) The way through the cross is by embracing it. We fear because we are trying to avoid suffering. If…
Derek and I have been asking the Lord to help us get creative in the way that we are discovering Him and expressing Him to one another. Recently we were listening to a message on getting to know Jesus more intimately as a friend. In it we were encouraged to read the gospels as though Jesus was reading them to us, in the first person. So I decided to do this the very next day in my own private time…
Dear holy ones, For the longest time I’ve wanted to sing this song to all of you out there loud and strong, clearly and powerfully. The recording is posted below. My voice won’t do it justice but that doesnât matter. The Spirit of God is able to speak through a donkey so He is able to use my voice :-). This song is three things. 1. This song is a call to all saints to truly enter into Christ our…
My mum has dementia – alzheimers. As part of her condition she also suffers from sundowner syndrome. If you know anything about these conditions you’ll know they’re pretty awful. They’re distressing for the patient and distressing for their loved ones and carers. Derek and I had been married only two years before moving into the garage of my mum and dad’s house in 2010. Two years later in 2012 dad passed away and Derek and I moved with my mum…
When I was a kid there was an ad on television advertising some frozen seafood – fish fingers or something of that nature. It involved a man dressed in a chef’s uniform, frantically swimming around in a large fish tank holding out in front of him a frying pan of fish, whilst being followed by a shark. The idea was that the fish in the pan was so fresh that the shark was wanting it. I’ve tried looking for…
Recently Derek and I re-watched the 2005 movie Walk The Line – starring Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon in the true story of Johnny Cash and June Carter. It’s an old favourite of ours and full of wonderful songs that we love. In the story of the movie, Johnny was besotted with June from the second he laid eyes on her. After then, he only had eyes for her and he continually pursued her. He was never going to give…
