Finding the Right Fit

Wearing a boot, I’ve struggled with finding the right socks to wear with it. I wanted something so my boot wouldn’t develop a stink, but my first attempt was a fail — the socks were too tight, and by the end of the day, I was in pain (yep, that same day I wrote about earlier!). So, I tried again and ordered socks specifically made for the boot — and let me tell you, THEY ARE AMAZING! The stretch is perfect. No pain taking them off. Yay for stretch!

And speaking of stretching… I feel like this whole healing process has been a season of spiritual stretching too. The Lord stretches each of us in different ways to help us learn, grow, and strengthen our faith. Sometimes that stretching feels uncomfortable — even painful — but He’s preparing us for something greater.

“Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back; lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes.” — Isaiah 54:2

This verse reminds me that God doesn’t just want to heal what’s broken — He wants to expand our hearts, faith, and capacity for His purposes. When we allow Him to stretch us, we make room for new strength, deeper peace, and greater trust.

“We also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.” — Romans 5:3–4

So whether it’s tight socks, long days, or tough moments that test our patience — we can hold on to the hope that every stretch is shaping us into who He’s called us to be.

Common Mistakes Made When Writing a Will

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...

A big thank you to Andy who sent me some amazing cookies to try to conduct my review. :) All opinions expressed are 100 % mine and I was not paid for this review. About Sweet Andy's Cookies: The “Thank You” Cookie In 2009, Andrew (Sweet Andy) found himself in a position like so many others at that time in our past; the economy was quickly spiraling downward and he had left his job in the financial services industry. Although Andy had an MBA in Banking and Finance and had even written a book entitled, “A Guide to Taking Control of Your Investments”, he found himself to be disenchanted with the financial industry and left to pursue “other work.” The “other work” that Andrew pursued was with the Church and did not provide financial support for the family. During this time Andy and his wife, Lissa, struggled to find other forms of income. They did what they could for themselves and their five children but often it was not enough. But there were...
