Lovely morning gently going down hill, found a hostel at the bottom that sold pizza and Gatorade. I had my own lunch with me but pizza tempered me. Had a sleep for the long straight up slog back up the other side to the shelter. Got there and Fortune-cookie already had a fire going. I’m in the shelter tonight since it is raining. It wasn’t heavy so I didn’t wear a coat for walking.
It’s now day 31 and I’ve done 317 miles. Half of what I did on the Camino in the same time. BUT I’ve climbed 10 times the height. I notice that my ears pop when I’m heading down and up there mountains. That doesn’t happen on Djouce or even Lug.
Thought for the day.
It’s said out here that the first month is all about your legs and feet. Then the rest is all in your head. I’ve now done a month.
Isn’t it easy to start well and then fall off. Most Christians start well but sometimes cool off or even go backwards. It’s been a good start to the AT but what about the rest. It’s easy to make new-year resolutions but then by February it’s forgotten or even early January for some.
Hebrews teaches that you need endurance to finish the race. The next 5 months will take endurance!!!! But the good news is that we always look to Jesus who give us everything we need to keep going.
“let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God”
A month and so many miles and memories.I wonder how many miles we would have when we are tuned in to our conversations with the Lord?. I agree Stephen when your lonely turn to him as there is nothing he hasn't done before us,and for us.So glad your still enjoying the adventure. Makes life here so boring😃 regards jac
