This past weekend we set out on a Journey to gather with over 3000 women, and a few men, to spend 3 days together and walk 60 miles. There were tears of laughter, joy, sadness and pain. There was no way you could leave this weekend and not be touched somehow by what we saw and experienced. On Friday morning we set out on Day 1 of our Journey, the quote of the day was from a man, "Why turn down 3 days with over 3,000 women and you can to freely talk about boobs!” The atmosphere all weekend was encouraging. Day 2 was special, me and my mom walked together all day; we finished the 20 mile day together, and at times hand in hand. Day 2 was an emotional day. I love my mom very much and was so glad to spend this day with her!
Day 3 was a tough day...I underestimated the realization of walking 20 miles a day, so Sunday I took it easy, well I had to or I thought my leg would fall off! Amanda and I finished together this day.
I could go on about the memories and amazing efforts seen in others, it was truly a great experience. From the enthusiastic crew members, to fellow walkers, to the cheer stations set up along the route, they were true angles!! There is power in numbers and this weekend definitely proved that. When I thought I couldn't take another step, this was on the back of the T-Shirt in front of me, "Lord if you pick them up, I will put them down..." Amazing how God works to keep you going!!! Thank you to all that supported me in this event, whether it was by donations or prayers, I truly am blessed that I got to experience it…
We all had different reasons to walk, but it was always for someone we Love!
