Take another step

-Written by Katy (and edited by Anna)-

We do a lot of counting around our house these days. We count while doing our exercises, (sometimes in different languages to keep it interesting), we count during therapy, we count every time I stand (1-2-3-stand!), etc. While I am now able to stand with less help and can take some steps with help, counting still helps me break down what can feel impossible into something realizable.

During my recovery many of the things asked of me have felt like climbing Mt. Everest. But my therapists don’t back down easily, so they break down the mountains into more manageable goals, giving me steps. So if I ever conquer the mountain of walking on my own again or typing with both hands, it will be by incremental steps of faith!

Thank you to so many of you who have prayed specifically for my left arm (Wilson) and leg. Jesus is answering one step at a time. My part is to ‘trust God and take another step.’ You will now understand why this has become our theme song (link below) of sorts for these days.

Take another step by Steven Curtis Chapman

“We walk by faith and not by sight we know it’s true
We say it and sing it and love the way it sounds
But none of us can even begin to truly understand
What it really means ‘til all the lights go out
And there we are nothing to hold on to
But the promises God’s made to me and you

Take another step, take another step
When the road ahead is dark
And you don’t know where to go
Take another step, take another step
Trust God and take another step

If there’s an ocean in front of you
You know what you’ve gotta do
Take another step and another step
Maybe He’ll turn the water into land
And maybe He’ll take your hand and say
Let’s take a walk on the waves
Will you trust Me either way
And take another step”
