Today is the day! I am so excited to be a part of this new venture with Camino Quest, LLC. We have officially launched our new website and looking forward to guiding groups on pilgrimages on the Camino de Santiago (The Way of Saint James) in Spain. It has been a little over a year since we joined our good friends Randy and Doralicia Gonzales on the Way and life looks different for me. Every walk I take these days, in some ways, reminds me of those long days on the Camino. I recently wrote about a powerful experience on Camino Quest. It has been over a year and I keep going back to this experience every time I run into a situation that seeks to pull me toward a place of unbalance. In addition to what I shared on the blog post, I am reminded often how one side of life seeks to absorb more energy than others leading me to a feeling of discomfort. Life is busy these days for me as I am teaching a new class and seeking to encourage new students in their vocational goals and callings.
That day on the Camino, I remember listening to a Pray As You Go devotional with the passage focusing on Abraham and his journey to Canaan. In light of what I was learning that day, it dawned on me that perhaps I need to pursue, in a balanced way, shalom and harmony in my own life! Harmony in our lives is so critical. Work/family balance, being engaged with others on our campus, and ensuring sacred space and time for quietness are essential in my life. I am still growing in this new found reality for my life.
I am excited about this new opportunity to support pilgrims as they work out life’s challenges. When you get the chance, come and check out our new website. Reach out to me if you have any questions!
