Living At The Well...  Welcome. ➼ I'm so glad you've found your way here.   This blog is all about finding peace in the craziness of life. It is about Truth. It is about learning how to live life in light of who Jesus Christ is - the Living Water that can quench the thirst of our very souls.   So, if you find yourself feeling weary; you are not alone.  If you have questions about life & God and the meaning of it all.... welcome to the club. You, my friend, are in good company.  If you are wrestling in your relationships with your kids, your spouse, your co-workers, your family - I am in the trenches right along side you.  And if you are searching for answers; for something that is true, firm, & unchanging - I hope you find some stability for your heart & mind here.  I am not so arrogant as to think that i have all the answers. I am well aware that I don't. Most days I am a hot mess mom who is just trying to make i...

Why is everyone else okay... and I'm not?

                   I've had this sort of pit in my stomach the last couple of days. I've been browsing the news in search of some glimmer of hope that this epic & global catastrophe we find ourselves in will be on the downward slope. But instead I'm met with headlines that twist my insides. I feel almost physically sick; nauseated from worry and fear of what is yet to come in the weeks and months ahead.         Our town here in Enid, Oklahoma seems to be about a week or two behind places like New York, Detroit, and other major hubs where the corona virus has hit hard. Here things are slowly trickling in. Everyone lost their minds two weeks ago and bought up all the canned goods, dry goods, and cleaning products they could find (and then some), but since then, there really wasn't a huge change to our way of life here until just a few days ago when all public and private schools were shut down for the remainder o...

Is Destruction my Destiny?

Well, friends -          ↬ It's been over a year since I wrote my last blog post here. A year. It's been a bit crazy, okay. I've been busy... you know how it is moms. I was busy chasing, bathing, feeding, teaching, guiding & loving on my 5 year old, my 3 year old and my 1 year old. And then I was busy chasing, bathing, feeding, teaching, guiding & loving on them, all while growing even more round in the middle (NO, that's not a food baby) and preparing to add a 4th child to our family. My brain felt like it was going to explode just at the thought. I was barely getting by taking care of 3. How was I ever going to do all this while toting an infant? No clue. Cue the throwing up of hands. {Sigh}         ↬ But I AM doing it. Not that there's really any choice there; it's not like I'm going to leave them on someone's door step. But you know what I mean. We're all aware of the difficulties of motherhood. I don't think I need to spell it...

➼➼➼➼    Rest    ➼➼➼➼ "My soul finds rest in God alone,  my salvation comes from Him. Truly He is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken." Psalm 62:1-2 ➼➼➼➼➼➼➼➼➼➼➼➼➼➼➼➼ We live in such a crazed, fast-paced world. We go from putting in long hours at work, to compulsively checking email and finding ourselves unable to put our phones down at home for more than a few minutes at a time. And even if we have sick days allowed to us and a number of vacation days, most of us take only a small percentage of the time off from work that we could.  Sandra Bond Chapman Ph.D. with Psychology Today wrote an article stating the following: "A  survey  by Harris Interactive for the  career  Web site Glassdoor found that three out of four workers with paid vacation do  not  use all of their leave. The average employee, in fact, uses only half. But even those who take time off often bring t...
