God- Worthy of Praise

It was Christmas Eve and I was ready to Praise. I was super stoked to be wearing a pair of shoes I have not worn in so long and a new dress that was gifted to me. When I put those shoes on I didn't have pain- I was certainly praising the Lord for relief! Christmas Eve service felt extra special because I did not have to wear the boot. That alone felt like a victory worth celebrating.

Getting dressed up reminded me how far I have come. It was more than just shoes and a dress. It was proof of healing. It was proof that progress is happening even when the journey has felt slow and full of ups and downs. For the first time in a while, I was not thinking about pain or limitations. I was simply present, worshiping, and enjoying the moment.

To be honest, I actually felt really pretty. That may sound small, but it mattered. Healing is not only about muscles and tendons. It is also about confidence, joy, and learning to see yourself through a lens of grace instead of frustration.

This night reminded me that celebrating small victories is important. Progress does not always roar. Sometimes it whispers through familiar shoes, a gifted dress, and a quiet sense of gratitude. Yay for progress. Yay for healing. And yay for moments that let us pause and celebrate how far we have come.

Lord, thank You for every step forward, no matter how small it seems. Help me to continue noticing progress and to celebrate it with gratitude. Help me to always praise 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...

Win some Sweet Andy's Cookies

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...
