Day 12

“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me”! Phil 4:13 
Friday Lindsay and I had to decided to take a much easier day than the 13.9 mikes the book suggests. It meant once again saying good bye to some people we had met. But we were tired and a little sore. We rested a little more in the morning getting a late start of about 7:30 or 8 not planning to walk past noon or 1:00. 

But after our first big hill climb and a hearty breakfast of fresh squeezed orange juice and a Spanish tortilla we were energized. We caught up with our friends walked with them until it was time for lunch in the town where we had decided to stop for the day. After lunch we once again felt enough energy and encouragement that we pushed on the last 8 or so kms. 

It was a good decision. 
When I started the day the mantra was I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me including stopping when it is time to stop. 
At the end of the day my mantra was I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me…through using my energy well, resting when I need to, friends who help me, helping others, asking for help…

Being gentle and listening more to yourself and to others is helpful in allowing God to strengthen you for the journey you are on whether it is physical, emotional, spiritual. 
Buen Camino
