Faithful Workouts

Have you ever had something happen and immediately thought, "Well, I definitely didn't want that to happen today"? 😅

That was me this week.

On the very first day of our Camino pilgrimage, I tripped on a rock and injured my arm. Definitely not how I imagined starting the journey.

Was I disappointed? Absolutely.

But I also knew I had a choice. I could let it ruin the pilgrimage, or I could find joy and gratitude even though the day didn't start as planned.

I'm grateful it was my right arm (I'm left-handed). Grateful I can still walk. Grateful I've still been able to complete every mile of the pilgrimage so far.

Sometimes the circumstances aren't what we would choose, but we can always choose how we respond.

Have you ever had a setback that ended up teaching you something important? I'd love to hear in the comments
