Walk With me on Our Journey: Taking a Celebratory prayer Walk on Walk With Me on Our Journey's First anniversary( with my Chemo Pump!)

Dear Family of Love and Pilgrims on Our Journey!

Today we celebrate the most wonderful milestone in Walk With Me on Our Journey,today we give thanks to God and Celebrate its First Anniversary and also our anniversary of being a family in every sense of the word. We have celebrated many joys, remembered and mourned the loss of loved ones, prayed unceasingly, and gave thanks with hearts of gratitude. Tonight we celebrate also my 6th chemo cycle which means my dear family that I'm halfway through! I have a surprise for you! I took a prayer walk tonight and I have pictures for you to see! My feet are feeling better! Thanks be to God! I have been thinking of what our official song for Walk With Me On Our Journey would be and this is it! The Summons and it reminds us all what we are called to do and be! God and Jesus do not let us off the hook and that is for sure and we can't get out of it.

Tonight let's take time for reflection with the timer or musical selection. In the quiet let us reflect upon this past year's pilgrimage and look forward to the year to come. Here is tonight's selection: We Are Called - David Haas
