"The End..."

To everything there is a season...one month shy to the day, three years later, we are leaving the m/v Africa Mercy.  It has been an incredible journey which has marked and changed our lives forever. 

The disembarkation forms are signed...

We wave good-bye to our home for the last three years...

Joshua, Mike, Alisia, and Deb

When it's all been said and done
There is just one thing that matters
Did I do my best to live for truth?
Did I live my life for you?

When it's all been said and done
All my treasures will mean nothing
Only what I have done
For love's rewards
Will stand the test of time

Lord, your mercy is so great
That you look beyond our weakness
That you found purest gold in miry clay
Turning sinners into saints

I will always sing your praise
Here on earth and in heaven after
For you've joined me at my true home
When it's all been said and done
You're my life when life is gone.

Lyrics by Robin Mark

As we look back at our journey, we can almost see, but definately feel the presence of all those who walked this incredibale trek with us.  To all of you who prayed for us, supported us financially and gave us moral encouragement we give a heart felt thank you.  You may never know how important each and every one of your are to us.  To those who followed us on our blog, thank you, in times when we wondered if it really mattered, we would notice the numbers increase in those following our blog.  Yes, we physically walked the journey - but ALL OF YOU gave us the strength.

The end of this journey...we wait upon God to show us the next...
