I'm Rachel and the creator of The Well Place. I love all things hope and Jesus. I'm Momma to three ginger babies, one of which (Samuel) is a medical miracle, and I'm married to my viking. I write on all things faith, marriage, family, parenting, fitness, and a sprinkle of home. My hope is to reach new moms and glean wisdom from ol' pros. I hope to encourage and inspire women to embrace the gift that they are, and families to dive deeper. My heart is to lean in, speak life, and let the light shine!

He didn’t fix my misery in that moment, he didn’t make everything better for me, but what he did do was speak a truth that caused me to shift in my response to the misery. It caused me to think about how I was facing the trial, who I was running to, how I was responding. It challenged me to think outside of myself, to see my kids and our family suffering in that time, and feel hope for the future.
It was bitter to speak and it was bitter to think about, that I couldn’t physically help our baby and my body. I couldn’t DO anything, this was the bitter reality and all I could do was fall in line with it, be married to the tragedy, feel the pain my heart felt. All I could do was lean into the words of the Father and trust that the pain I was feeling would be for His glory.
