Walking long distances is often not something that is in many people's plans, although it is a healthy habit and many people use it as a way to exercise or relax by walking in the countryside or mountains.
Walking several kilometers a day should be part of our daily planning, as long as we have time and if we don't have time we should strive to make space to include this activity in our daily schedule.
Although it was not a planned routine I remember perfectly the time I ended up walking several kilometers, honestly I don't know how many kilometers, however, it was a lot since we walked for more than two hours uninterruptedly.
The adventure happened a few weeks ago and happened in activities related to our ministry, since a few months ago we started a ministry work in a place far away from the center of town where we live, to get there we needed to board a bus and walk a little more than an hour depending on the circumstances.
We were in that place for a weekend activity and we had planned to leave on Monday, as in fact it happened. On Monday we got up very early and walked for about an hour to get to the bus stop where we were supposed to take the bus.
The bus was scheduled to pass by that place at 6 am, as it usually happens, however, that day would not be the same, the wait was long and after 8 am we decided to walk to get closer to a stop that is relatively close (if we go by car) because in that place there is a company and constantly leave transportation that usually support the people of these communities.
I do not know how many kilometers there are in this journey but what I am sure of is that I had not walked such a long distance before, at least that I remember, and all this to fulfill our ministerial work and honor our heavenly father.
Experiences that we live and that in my opinion strengthen and are a test for our faith.
