Nervous is a very over used word... unless you're about to embark on a 6 day hike going through northern Spain. What's there to be nervous about? Well, let's see... 1) I'm nervous about making it all six days. 2) I'm nervous about having a back pack that's too heavy. 3) I'm nervous about talking to people about my faith.
Wait, isn't that why I'm here? Yes, it is, but that doesn't mean that I don't get nervous. So this post is short simply to ask for prayer.
Tomorrow we begin walking 120 Km for 6 days on the Camino to Santiago with 9 girls from all over the world who came from the Transform conference in Rome. If you don't know what the camino is, it's a pilgrimage that people take in hopes of getting their sins forgiven and earning their salvation. The town of Santiago is said to have St. James' bones as tradition says he was buried there. The purpose for us going is that we might be able to talk to these people and show them God's gift of forgiveness. This walk is world famous so we will all probably get to meet people who speak our own language.
I know God will use us, I know that He will give us the strength that we need, I know that He is always with us. He promises this in His Word.
Pray for us as we embark on this journey.
1) Pray that we would grow spiritually ourselves as God uses every situation to teach us and not just have us teach.
2) Pray that we would be sensitive to the Holy Spirit's moving as we are there to talk to people. Pray also that we would trust Him fully for His words and not our own.
3) Pray that we would be sensitive to each other's needs.
4) Pray that we would lean on Him for strength and that He would keep us going each day and each step.
5) Praise God for the big things He's going to do, and has already done to prepare the hearts that are going to hear the good news.
Also today was our last day that we got to see our team member of 2 months, Thomas. It's been so good to have him and we will miss him dearly. Thank you, Thomas, for all you did these past 2 months!
