Tired of the TO DO Lists?

The Great Grind:  If you're anything like me, your life is filled to overflowing with the necessities and then some!  I'm sure you have a life filled with the daily grind of shopping, cooking, cleaning, working, going to the Doctor, going to the bank, running to the pharmacy, taking care of the sick pet, thinking of meals for the upcoming week, taking care of the children, and if you home school your children - lesson planning, grading, teaching, gathering material and then there's paying the bills, cutting coupons to save money, and oh yes, the beloved laundry!  And the defining moment when you realize you do not have any clean underwear for the next morning...ugh.  
The Great Grind

The Great Loss:  So, I highlighted some things that are probably common to most of us in the daily grind but there is one VERY important piece I failed to mention.  Our relationship with the Lord is of utmost importance but when we are pressed by our circumstances, we sometimes lose sight of that relationship and our time in the Word and in prayer suffer.  This is not a time for guilt.  There are seasons in life when we will not have as much time in the Word and our prayers may look different.  

So, how do we keep our relationship with the Lord paramount at all times in our lives when the pressures of life seem all-consuming?

The Great Invitation:  The Lord invites us into relationship with Him.  If you are a woman and long to have a closer relationship with the Lord but feel like you cannot even hold your own head up at times, I invite you to join Drawing From the Well Facebook Group and participate in our upcoming SKYPE sessions on Janet Pope's book, "His Word in My Heart."

Close Calls

By
For what great nation is there that has a god so near to it as is the Lord our God whenever we call on Him? Deuteronomy 4:7 Sound of the fury or two terriers. There was a time when we had two terriers who were not always fond of each other. Though they were small, they were feisty. I was walking through the kitchen one day when the one terrier upon seeing the other, decided that this was her time to shine and leave her mark. The pearly whites of her teeth began to gleam as she lifted her lip in utter disdain and latched on to her "companion" and would not let go. The usual verbal threats masked in the growling and snarling were not part of this fight; however, the sheer determination to defeat the opponent and win were certain. To say that I was concerned was an understatement. After quite a while of trying to pry the dogs apart and loosen the clenched teeth without success, I finally blurted out, "Jesus, help us!" It was at this exact moment that the one d

Common Ground: The Road Less Traveled

By
The Presence of God.  Ruth and Naomi found themselves in very trying circumstances after each suffered the loss of a husband and the inescapable grief that accompanies death. Scripture gives us a snapshot into their lives and we get a glimpse of the strong bond of friendship that took place between Ruth and Naomi. Was it the deep sense of   grief that brought these two women together in a way they had never experienced before?

The presence of God is the bond that unites our hearts as brothers and sisters in Christ. The Road Less Traveled photo credit:  B Gilmour.  via  photopin   cc Mutual Commitment.
