Eight Weeks Post-Surgery — Finding My Footing

Image
By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!

 Eight weeks post-surgery.

Some days, I feel strong and determined… other days, I just stare at my leg and feel a wave of discouragement wash over me. The muscles are still missing — visibly gone — and it’s hard not to notice. Vulnerability hits deep when you see the evidence of what’s been lost and feel how much work it will take to rebuild.

The scar, though, is starting to heal nicely. It’s a strange mix of pride and humility — pride in how far I’ve come, and humility in realizing how much more healing is still ahead. I’ve started looking for the right cream to help the scar fade and the skin soften, but honestly, I think my heart needs its own healing balm too.


These last two weeks have brought waves of emotion — highs when I take new steps, and lows when the pain or fatigue reminds me I’m not there yet. But through it all, God keeps meeting me right where I am — in the soreness, in the slow progress, and in the quiet moments when I need to be reminded that He’s not finished with me yet.

“You broaden the path beneath me, so that my ankles do not give way.” — Psalm 18:36

How fitting that verse is in this season! God has truly been broadening my path — teaching me balance, patience, and trust — even when my ankle (both literally and spiritually) feels shaky. Ankles represent stability and balance and the ability to keep standing, especially in battle or struggle.  God sustained David through tough terrain both physically and spiritually and he is sustaining me as well! 

Healing is never a straight line. It’s more like a winding road where faith takes the lead and emotions follow. But every time I wobble, He steadies me. Every time I want to give up, He widens the path beneath my feet just enough for me to keep going.  I won't stumble I will have His stability!  

So here’s to week eight — to progress, patience, and a God who walks every uneven step with me. 💛

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
Description: The first book in  The Reading Game  learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender.  It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long.  It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program. Each of The Reading Game's six stories is told using just thirty new words.  These are broken down into six sets of five words.  The student learns to read each set of five words by playing a simple word matching game.  Frequent exposure through play hard wires these words into long-term memory.  Rote learning is transformed into a fast-paced game with a winner every few seconds. After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not).  Playing Game 2 adds an additional five w...

Common Mistakes Made When Writing a Will

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
  Writing a will should, by all means, be a simple thing. You want to make sure that your assets are being left to your loved ones and that your final wishes are being fulfilled. Usually, they are rather straightforward, but that doesn’t mean that they are entirely foolproof. Here, we’re going to look at some common issues that can lead to disputes or delays in carrying out your will. Image - CC0 License Not Having It Witnessed Correctly One of the most common mistakes when writing a will is not having it witnessed correctly. Wills generally require the signatures of at least two witnesses who are not beneficiaries or spouses of beneficiaries. If the will is not witnessed in accordance with legal requirements, it may be declared invalid, meaning your estate would be distributed according to intestacy laws, which may not align with your wishes. It’s important to follow the witnessing procedures exactly as outlined in your jurisdiction to ensure the will is legally enforceable. Chan...
