Pause and Defend — My Two Gifts from God

Taking a little break from my own healing journey today to simply admire my two kiddos.

Selah sent me a side-by-side picture, one from this week and one from last year and I can hardly believe the difference. In just one year, so much has changed!

Selah’s hair might be a little wild from running her big race on a windy day, but that’s part of her beautiful spirit — determined, joyful, and strong. And Titus? Gone is that little boy face… he’s truly stepping into manhood. My heart just swells when I see how they’re both growing, not just physically, but in faith and character.

Their names carry such meaning:
Selah — “to pause and reflect.” She reminds me to slow down and notice God in every moment.
Titus — “defender.” He carries a strength and compassion that shows what it means to protect, to serve, and to love.

Watching them grow is a reminder that these two are not just mine, they belong to the Lord, and He has incredible plans for their lives.

“The Lord will fulfill His purpose for me; your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever.” — Psalm 138:8

“Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, and in purity.” — 1 Timothy 4:12

Prayer:
Lord, thank You for the beautiful gifts of Selah and Titus. I see Your fingerprints in their laughter, their drive, their faith, and their kindness. Continue to guide them, strengthen them, and fill them with Your Spirit. Let Selah keep pausing to hear Your voice and Titus keep defending truth with love. May their steps be ordered by You and their hearts anchored in Your Word. 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...
