Lighter Steps, Stronger Faith

Image
By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!

Today felt like a breakthrough. Even in my long bright socks it was a breakthrough! My husband made an addition to our treadmill so I could walk with less weight on my body, giving me a chance to move without the full pressure of my injury. We hooked everything up, I stepped in, and suddenly… I was only carrying about 70 pounds of my weight.

And then—I walked.

Not for 2 minutes.
Not for 10 minutes.
But 30 whole minutes.

THAT was a huge milestone for me.
A victory I didn’t see coming this soon.
And the best part? I walked in my own tennis shoes, without the boot. It felt like freedom. Like a little glimpse of the “me” I remember.

This healing journey has been slow, humbling, and emotional… but today reminded me that progress doesn’t have to be fast to be meaningful. Milestones matter. Even the small ones. Especially the small ones.

Scripture came alive for me today:

✨ “Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin.”
—Zechariah 4:10
God celebrates each step—even the wobbly, assisted, partial-weight ones.

✨ “He makes me surefooted like a deer, enabling me to stand on heights.”
—Psalm 18:33
My steps may not feel steady yet, but He is strengthening every part of this journey.

✨ “The steps of a good person are ordered by the Lord, and He delights in their way.”
—Psalm 37:23
He delights in every step I take—literally and spiritually.

Walking today was more than movement. It was hope. It was a reminder that healing is happening inside me even when I don’t see it day by day. It was proof that God is guiding me, strengthening me, and celebrating with me.

Milestones are worth acknowledging.
They remind us that progress is real.
They tell our hearts, “You’re moving forward, even when the road feels long.”

So today I’m thanking God for treadmills, creative husbands, lighter load moments, and the freedom to take even one step—because every step is a testimony to His faithfulness.

"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.

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...
