It was a great first day. I kept a slow pace knowing there are a lot of days ahead of me. I was very intentional on listening today. I took a break on the trail and had a pizza and cerveza in a little town.
Lord, empty me, fill me, use me.
Lord, empty me.
Of the opinions I defend too hard,
of the need to be thought well of,
of the noise I carry that blocks me from hearing you.
Lord, fill me.
Not with what I would choose, but
with what you know I lack.
Patience where I am quick,
mercy where I am hard,
courage where I have been careful too long.
Lord, use me.
Let me be useful before I feel ready,
and let the good of it belong to you.
At the end of the day, let someone have been helped
who will never know my name.
