Hey guys so Jordan finished out great! we then traveled to Spain for debrief for a week and now we are on The Camino de Santiag. The Camino has been awesome so far. We have walked a total of 170 miles! Praise God!
I have seen the Lord provision in many ways.
I have received free housing 3 nights already.
Was given a shell necklace from a lady that I met. What was cool was earlier that day I saw them and wanted one, but decided not to get one. Getting one from her was just a reminder that God likes to give good gifts to his children and that he knows the desires of our hearts. She also had reminded me earlier when talking to her that God is always with us. This shell for me as I wear it is now a tangible reminder that God is always with me.
The first day I was walking I also figured out that my hips were super out of alignment and by mile 10 wasn’t sure if I’d even be able to do the next day. I was walking like a grandma and knew I couldn’t continue like that. This year the Lord has promised me my hip wouldn’t be a problem and so I had a choice. I could trust in what he told me or start thinking it would be a problem. I chose to claim his promise and asked the Lord to help me and he did! At our next albergue my friends met a fellow pilgrim who was a chiropractor. She offered to work on me and I haven’t had an issue with my hips since.
I have also had multiple meals bought for me. Which has been a blessing because our budget it very low.
I met a girl from Slovakia who was camping and I was able to camp with her for a few days. This was awesome because without meeting her I would have had to camp alone and that isn’t ideal being a girl. It also had been a dream of mine to backpack and live out of a tent and I got to do that! She also loved hiking and climbing so it was great to meet a new friend and I hope to visit her in the future.
I also met a lady who I got the pleasure to walk with a few days in a row. She was meditating on this verse.
Micah 6:8
….”what does the Lord require of you
but to do justice, and to love kindness,
and to walk humbly with your God?”.
Prior to meeting her I felt that this is one thing the Lord has been teaching me. That he doesn’t ask so much of me, but to be loved by him and to love. This was a perfect verse for me also to meditate on while I walked!
Currently could use prayer for:
* My left Achilles tendon to be healed. It is bugging me a lot and if it continues I will have to stop due to it having the potential to cause longer term problems.
* Prayer for the conversations I get to have with people about God’s love and relentless pursuit of them.
* Prayer that our squad will finish this year well!
Love yall!
