Just Walking

by Clella Camp

GET MOTIVATED in Your Daily Walk...Physically and Spiritually

Just Walking connects the simple experience of the physical exercise of walking with the Lord. Walking daily for physical fitness often becomes a time for meditation, shared in a simple but heartfelt manner that men and women, young and old, will find refreshing and encouraging.

The subject matter is as varied as the creation-spider webs, no trespassing signs, letters in the author's mailbox, deer in the waterway, and the changing seasons along a country road. All become a basis for daily devotions and prayer.

The spiritual avenues are as varied as the subject matter-failing to pray, relating to those we meet in our daily walk, grieving for family members, and leading those who are following us.

Brief directives and motivational thoughts for those who walk for exercise are intermingled among the daily devotions.

Just walking with a friend

I used to walk with my dog. I really miss her. But Clella Camp's musing's on her daily walk resounded with memories for me, hitting just the right blend between earthly interactions and heavenly intervention. With wise advice on health and safety, short scripture references and simple prayers, each walk with Clella left me feeling uplifted and inspired. I watched the arrival of her granddaughter Anneka, observed the mother robin preparing her nest, and felt the touch of spring even though I was reading the pages in fall. As my walking companion begged forgiveness for her own failings, I found myself thinking of mine, begging God's forgiveness too, and found myself strengthened to keep trying, to keep being forgiven. And when Clella arrived to walk in the city, I missed the countryside but saw the streets and roadsigns through new eyes, newly reminded to always look and pray. Just Walking is a book of daily devotions with a pleasing personal touch, and by the end of reading Clella Camp has become a much-loved friend and walking companion.
