Prayers of Encouragement

Hi everyone! I am back on the trail from my fall. It was cold all day!

When we set out, I was (am) still sore from the fall. I badly bruised my right arm, so I can’t use my trekking poles. But the Meseta is so flat, it wasn’t an issue.

Throughout the night as my body ached, I prayed for encouragement. Once we were up and out of the Albergue, I felt happy to be back walking, but still incredibly sore. My black eye has now moved to a good portion of my face and as I looked in the mirror, I can understand now why the Phantom from Phantom of the Opera had half a mask! Not a pretty sight.

As we rounded the bend heading out of town, many of us stopped in our tracks! Up ahead we met this amazing group of individuals helping two wheelchair-bound men walk the Camino. My prayer was answered! I hope they encourage or inspire you as they did me!
Buen Camino!Read more
