I didn't bring much jewelry on this trip, but I did wear my Gospel Roads footprint necklace. It's hard to believe that was 10 years ago. A lot happened (growth-wise) for me on that trip and then after it too...
I still remember pretty vividly taking the lead in packing/distributing toothpaste and such at the food bank. I also remember going outside the physical fence to speak with people at the homeless shelter. A few other really powerful things on that trip were Reconciliation that brought me to tears as well as a walk with our school's priest (Fr. Greg), where he helped me realize that change/growth comes gradually, even when we would rather have our very own bolts of lightning.
Funny, 10 years later I find myself walking in Jesus' footsteps in a different way - this time I am a pilgrim, not a servant. But I will not complete this journey to the Holy Land without keeping what I learned at Gospel Roads at the forefront of my mind...
