Pilgrimage Intentions

What were your intentions, some of you? Were in you on that spiritual journey looking for something in terms of a vocation, maybe, some of you seeking the Lord's will in a certain way? 

One Pilgrim:
I know I personally went on it seeking the Lord's will from a vocation, really, and I don't think I quite founded on that trip, but from beginning to end, I was 50-50 tossup between religious life and married life. That's why one on it, but I grew in a lot of other spiritual ways.

Another Pilgrim: ...a search for an a vocation because I'm in school right now, and I'm just about to graduate, and I'm trying to decide am I supposed to do music or philosophy. Does my two majors, and I couldn't decide before I went on the trip, but the main decision I came to after going on the trip as I want to do it in service to the Lord. That's important, it doesn't matter into which field I go.

Mitch: Yes, I think, for me, it was definitely searching out God's will in my life and being in college and a full-time job – I'm a youth minister back in Louisiana. And sometimes it hard for us to stop, as young adults, and just hear what God is calling us. And I think maybe that's why our generation is just like, "What are you going to do with your life?" "I don't know." "What are you majoring in?" "Engineering." "Is that which want to do?" "I don't know." It's kind of – we just kind of go along with the world. This pilgrimage, I think, for most of us, was a time to just stop and journey with God instead of journeying with the world and find out what God was do not what our parents want to us do or what our friends want us to do or our boyfriend or girlfriend. That's what was for me. It was just a powerful wake-up call in my vocation.
