A SHORT BUT AMAZING DAY

12 September 2023, Camino 3, Day 13

Hornillos to Castrojeriz

A short day today

I’m amazed at all the plants growing out of this rocky area even in the midst of the harshest environment these plants are growing and thriving, even this beautiful little red flower.

What does that tell us about our own lives when we think that things are hard and impossible, and that nothing can grow within us or around us. Isn’t it true that something beautiful can still come forth in the harshest environments?

Buen Camino

I am me, a person with love for others, a passion to be creative, and a desire to be a cheerleader for others. I’m a wife, a mommy, and a grandma (you can call me by my grandma name “Lady M”). I’m on a search to grow and connect more fully with God. I didn’t grow up particularly church, married a man who had, and we raised our three daughters in the church. I found a place to belong in the church and somehow discerned a call to go to seminary. I received a Masters of Arts and Religious Communication (MARC). I went on to become ordained as a deacon in the United Methodist Church and served in media ministry and Christian education. As clergy I found that I didn’t have a place to belong in the church so I left the United Methodist Church in 2010. I still believe and I’m still on a quest to draw closer to God. And I’m going to walk the Camino de Santiago.
