What the Camino Reflected Back to Me
Two years ago, I walked the Camino De Santiago.
During that walk, beautiful encounters happened. You know that feeling, when you meet someone and it feels like it was meant to be?
Sometimes I still wonder how God arranged everything so that all those people were walking the same path, at the same time, as I was.
Five days of hardship.Long hills.Tired legs.And many tears.
The tears were not from sadness — they were from pain. My body ached so much. Many times, I wondered if I would finish the walk.
I hesitated. I cried. I was in pain. And I was carrying a heavy backpack, just like I had been carrying too much alone in my life.
I had been carrying more than I could handle by myself.
It’s incredible how the Camino mirrors life.
In the end, I made it. I reached Santiago.
This time, I cried from joy.
I was proud. I was full of joy.
On my last day of walking, I received a message:
“Do it, and I am with you every step of the way.”
I kept repeating that sentence during my final steps.I was praying, and then something shifted.
The prayer began to change, as if something divine was speaking through me:
"Do it. And I am with you every step of the way"
