Here At the Well, the goal is for us ladies to encourage one another to live out the admonitions of Titus 2:4-5, which tell us to “be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be…

“I’ve Been trying Really Hard to do it God’s Way…”
Yesterday was “one of those days.” Can’t explain why exactly, but it just seemed like everything took longer than it needed to, involved more arguing, whining, and complaining than usual, and…ultimately resulted in me yelling at the children, which we all HATE.
