Tonight, two very dear friends came to my house to interrupt my packing (a welcome interruption, indeed) and to pray a blessing over me. It was a tender, meaningful gesture and a very sweet commendation, especially since one of them is the friend I originally planned to take this journey with. Apparently, God had other plans since he allowed a skiing accident to interfere; I'm going to miss her presence very much. Their prayers were from the heart, and I loved beginning this adventure immersed in such prayer.
If you are the praying kind, I actually have mentally compiled a list that I am going to attempt to now spit out via the keyboard. Here are some specifics I would love your prayers to cover:
- that God would clearly fill the white space in a way that gives himself all the glory, that I would draw closer to him and become more like him
- that I would be a light to those I encounter but also a humble learner from others who have wisdom to offer
- that I would be safe, in the many aspects that entails
- that I would persevere (especially this week on Thursday and Friday when I'm crossing the Pyrenees)
- that logistics would work out regarding money, albergues (pilgrim hostels), finding route markers, trains, busses, etc.
I guess that's all I can think of for now. Thank you for following along! I leave for the train station in 7 hours....
