What a way to end this incredible journey—aware of the bigger journey of life and where the road to Zion is leading us. “Leaning on the everlasting arms.”

Welcome

Sean and Jamie. Look what God has done. I have loved following your daily challenges and triumphs. Thank you for giving my husband and me this experience.

God bless you!

I am sure I’m not alone in saying this brings tears. You both live a beautiful story, creating moments to birth story and sharing it with others is such a gift! Thank you for this invitation! What a blessing! And… Thank you for living out loud, reminding many that, even in the mess, God is making miracles. Your lives are a resounding praise. And we are all the better.

It has been an incredible journey that we as followers have been privileged to “share” with you. I don’t know that I have ever been as invested in another person’s physical and spiritual journey that has moved and changed me as this one has. There were things of my own that got left at the cross alongside your hat. The hard struggle of pushing through physical limitations encouraged me to push through my own. Your perseverance in the face of defeat will be remembered as an encouragement. Your perspective of the important things in life has challenged me and then the music.. always the ability to find the music, to let it express what is inside ending in a “quiet”crescendo of accomplishment and triumph with the picture of our eternal celebration! We love you, our Sean of the South and your dear compadre, Ms Jamie. Buen Camino

Hundred percent in agreement with you, Charlotte. Reading and "co-living" the Camino with Jamie and Sean is a great gift we received. Praise God.

Hate to see the word final in the heading. I have enjoyed “traveling” with y’all! Love the parallel to the Gospel!

Come to Me, ye who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Thanks again for taking us along! Safe travels home

I’m moved beyond words.

Almost.🥲

While I “knew” you two could make it, I did not “know” to what extremes The Camino would push/pull you on your pilgrimage.

From afar, I, like so many others, have been holding my breath in anticipation of your final steps into Santiago!😳

Inspired…

That word only begins to describe my feelings…

🙏🏻🥰🥰👏👏👏👏🙏🏻

I am sitting in a rocking chair on my front porch. I live in a tourist town. As tourists walk past my porch, they look up because they can hear me softly crying. I know they wonder what is wrong with me that causes me to cry so early in the morning. If they asked, I would just tell them that I just finished reading your post and I was so happy for you guys.
