Walking… Even if It’s Slow

Image
By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!

My husband, being the personal trainer that he is, saw me gaining more mobility and immediately went into full “trainer-engineer” mode. Before I knew it, our treadmill had a brand-new weight assist attachment! (Who needs fancy gym equipment when you’ve got a husband with tools and determination?) In all seriousness though my husband finds a way to recreate things when they normally cost thousands of dollars... I truly am blessed! 

He rigged it up so I could walk safely and build strength without overdoing it. I took my first slow, careful walk on it, then proudly showed it to my physical therapist. She smiled, nodded, and gave me the green light—so that officially made it PT approved!  I think I started with 30 pounds of assist and then went to about 45 pounds off. (When I got off I felt so heavy... I quickly realized how nice it was to walk with a lot less weight.)  

And then it happened… I walked—with a limp, yes—but I walked. I walked slowly—but I walked. I held tightly to the treadmill arms—but I walked without crutches.

Each small step was proof that healing is happening. Sometimes progress doesn’t look impressive—it’s not fast or flawless—but it’s still progress. And when you start to see it, even just a little, your heart fills with gratitude and hope.

Philippians 1:6 says, “Being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”
God doesn’t start something and walk away. He’s faithful to finish what He begins—in our bodies, hearts, and lives.

If you’re in a season where progress feels painfully slow, remember this: Heaven celebrates every single step forward, even the wobbly ones. Keep trusting, keep moving, and keep believing that what He started in you, He will complete.

Lord, thank You for every step—no matter how slow or awkward it looks. Thank You for progress that reminds me You’re still working. Help me keep walking by faith, not by sight, and trust that You’ll bring this healing to completion. Amen.

"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...
