Kristie V. Waters
I was raised in a Christian home, but it took me time to truly appreciate the faith and values I was given. As I grew older and raised my own children, I began to recognize the ways God had guided and shaped my life. Music has always been part of that journey—from piano lessons to chorus and ensemble participation in school—even though I didn’t always fully appreciate it at the time. Looking back, I can see how God was preparing me to serve in music ministry.
​
Today, I have the joy of singing in my church’s adult choir, playing piano for our teen choir, and singing with two dear friends as Made by Grace. In recent years, songwriting has become another way for me to minister, though until now, the songs had no life beyond the pages of a notebook.
​
In 2022, I faced a life-changing challenge when I was diagnosed with tongue cancer. The possibility of affecting my speech & singing voice was frightening, but by God’s grace, I was able to sing again in less than seven weeks—a powerful reminder of His miraculous provision and faithfulness.
​
Draw From The Well Publishing was born from a desire to share Christ-honoring music. Each song comes from a personal experience, a message heard, or a trial faced, and my prayer is that these songs bring encouragement, hope, and inspiration to others. The name reflects my family’s history in the water well industry and reminds us of God’s promise of “Living Water”—from a source that never runs dry.
