Finding Hope on the CaminoSample

Yellow Arrows

Welcome to the journey.

You've chosen this reading plan because you are either preparing to hike El Camino (the Way) or you are already traveling it. Either way, you're in for an awesome adventure filled with tremendous memories and new friends. Whether you plan to journey the entire 500-mile trek or just a portion of it, it will be exhilarating.

Have you ever gotten lost? Maybe it was on the Camino or some other journey. Not knowing which way to go is stressful, whether we admit it or not. Worse yet, if we find out we've been headed the wrong way resulting in lost time (sometimes hours or days) as we backtrack.

Thankfully, yellow arrows show us the way on the Camino, and if it weren't for them, at times, we wouldn't know where to go. When we find them, we are reassured that we are going in the right direction.

What a great help that someone decided to paint those yellow arrows along the Camino trail.

At times, we feel lost and frustrated that we don't know the way forward. Nor do we have any signs to help us know we are on the correct path.

What arrows do you tend to follow in life? To whom or to what do you look for direction? Jesus said, "I am the way (Camino), the truth, and the life." Have you ever considered the claims of Christ? If you haven't already, please take a moment to read today's scripture references and ponder their meaning, and be blessed as you travel.
