Sept 25th-After 34 days of walking 500 miles across Spain, we have reached the end of our Camino. So many rushes of different feelings of joy that we have been blessed to have experienced and accomplished the amazing Camino and sadness that this amazing journey has now closed. But the most beautiful thing about reaching our goal is the reality proven that God truly does care for us and if we trust, He ll take care of us and our souls most lovingly. Finally it has shown me that with God and through Him all things, including the seemingly impossible, are made possible by Him!!!!!:):):):) Deo Gratias!!!!!
