So we arrived in San Sebastian on a foggy day. San Sebastian promotes partying, beaches and a vibrant night life. We were rather excited to find that our hostel was located just off the beach and in the middle of ´downtown´ San Sebastian.
We heard from fellow hostellors that they were going on a trek to find Jesus, and we decided to follow suit.
Unfortunately, we quickly discovered that Jesus is a little hard to find. After a couple of calls it was quickly apparent that Jesus only takes appointments on sunny days - and with the foggy weather we were out of luck. However, this did not deter us. We set out without a guide but had faith that we would eventually end up locating His office. Sure enough, after much frusteration and hope obliviated, we found His building. After talking to his secretary we were disappointed to learn that Jesus had gone home for the day and was no longer at the appointed spot. Our dreams dashed we decided to return home, crestfallen.
Sooo...no we have not completely lost our sanity (yet). Jesus happens to be a statue in San Sebastian located at the peak of a mountain (Us Albertans would call it a high hill). Seeing that the weather was so foggy (and the fact that we couldn´t find a tourist office) we couldn´t see Jesus from our hostel. Later on in the evening the weather cleared and we could easily see where we were supposed to have gone...but alas, the path leading to Jesus was locked and we were not allowed to pass.
I guess that´s how life is sometimes too. Jesus is right in front of us but we can´t see Him for the fog. The nice thing about Jesus is that it´s never too late to seek and search for Him and He never hides so He cannot be found. Jesus will always be waiting at the top of that hill and is more then willing to meet us halfway - whereever we may be at.
