At PT this week I got on the bike. And let me just say, it felt so freeing to move my body more. After months of slow steps, careful movements, and learning how to trust my body again, this felt like a new chapter in my healing.
There was something so joyful about pedaling. It reminded me that my body is capable again. Not pain free yet. But capable. Healing is happening.
Now I get to increase by two minutes each time, as long as it feels good. I love that part. Listening to my body. Respecting the process. Trusting that slow progress is still progress. I am learning that healing is not about rushing the finish line. It is about honoring every small step that gets me closer to it.
The Lord keeps reminding me that growth often comes in stages. Just like faith, healing is built little by little, moment by moment, step by step.
“The Lord will guide you always; He will satisfy your needs in a sun scorched land and will strengthen your frame.” Isaiah 58:11
I am choosing to celebrate this win. I am choosing gratitude over impatience. I am choosing trust over fear. And I am choosing joy in this new phase of healing.
Prayer
Lord, thank You for new beginnings and new phases. Thank You for every small victory that reminds me healing is happening. Help me to be patient with my body and gentle with my heart. Teach me to listen, to rest, to grow, and to trust You fully in this process. I give You every step, every stretch, and every season of this journey. Amen.
