Welcome to Still Waters
The name Still Waters comes from the Hebrew phrase “Mai Menuchot,” meaning restful waters—a place of peace, safety, and renewal. This image captures the heart of what Still Waters is intended to be: a gentle space to pause, reflect, and find rest amid life’s changing currents.

Here, you’ll find reflections and resources that invite calm for the mind and hope for the heart. My hope is that Still Waters becomes a place where you feel encouraged to slow down, take a deep breath, and rediscover the peace that restores.
