Serendipity...by NR

Sometimes I wonder why worry is such a big part of my day. This camino has certainly proved to me that if you take time to do things well, or take time to be still, good things, including clarity always come. Em and I were walking today until we reached our destination. I have now learned to make jokes about my limp, as we have found many names for me to substitute for ¨gimp¨. Once we crossed that final bridge, I was thanking God for allowing my body to make it that far. My heart broke when we heard the words ¨Completo,¨ meaning there were no more beds in this small town...we would have to travel almost another mile to the next town. We sat down and as I was praying, Em said that she felt something better would happen for us. After we finished a sandwich, we started our ascent slowly up the mountain. There, we met a man that was advertising a hostel in the next town that was new and he would even take our backpacks for us. We both sang praises of ¨MUCHAS GRACIAS¨ and went along our way. Today, my body took me further than my mind thought I could go. It was a feeling of triumph for both of us as we reached the nice rooms for the night. So, as I reflect back on every single day of this journey, and even my life thus far, it stands true that if you are still and know that there is a God bigger than our finite minds can imagine, great things happen. We are two days away from Santiago, about 45 km to go! We are now dreaming of cute shoes and clean sheets. We are excited to start the next chapter of our lives using the wisdom we have gained from this long, long hike. We will blog a note of VICTORY soon. Love you all...
