Patient Endurance

Hebrews 10:36 has been my anchor lately. I’ve written it on photos of my scar and legs, because I need the constant reminder:

“Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God’s will. Then you will receive all that he has promised.” — Hebrews 10:36 (NLT)

Those two words, patient endurance, carry so much weight. They sound so simple until you’re in the middle of the process. Healing has a way of showing us what those words really mean.

It’s the patient part that stretches me, waiting for progress, waiting for strength, waiting for normal.
And it’s the endurance part that builds me, pushing through the pain, the swelling, the setbacks, and still choosing to believe that better days are coming.

This season has reminded me that both can exist together. I can be grateful and frustrated. Strong and sore. Hopeful and tired. Healing is not linear, but it is purposeful. God is using every ache and every delay to shape me into someone stronger, not just physically but spiritually too.

I think sometimes we see endurance as surviving, but really it’s abiding. It’s saying, “God, even here in the hard and the slow I will trust You.”

“Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for the Lord.” — Psalm 31:24

There’s beauty in the wait, even if we can’t see it yet. The stretching, the stillness, the strengthening, it all has purpose.

Prayer:
Lord, when I grow weary in the waiting, remind me that You are still working. Help me to walk in patient endurance not in my own strength, but in Yours. Teach me to trust Your timing and to see Your hand in the smallest steps forward. Let this waiting season deepen my faith and draw me closer to You. Amen.

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...
