iT's dOnE...aLmOsT !!!

I will be quickly as my battery is nearly dead and it's a holiday in town so I find no place to plug in my laptop...
I just picked up the train with Ben at 5.30 am, and I stayed  to get
internet and do blogging and e.mailling... I didn't know it was a holiday today, so I'll not do much...

Ben came here yesterday on purpose to sign the check to buy the land in the name of White Stone...

It all seems weird still...
Yves and Regina were one more time at the land to ask me to write some documents in portuguese for them to cancel their internet contract... it was a good opportunity for us all to pray together... we were praying for different people, but then we went on praying for the land...

Miri started to cry in the midst and I could sense why...
We were done with prayer, but Miri kept staring down and sobbing...after a while Regina broke the silence and asked her if she had anything to say... she just looked at me, kept sobbing and looked down again...

when Regina asked the second time she said she would speak, even though she didn't want to...
She opened up the "game" and said directly and clearly that what they were doing was wrong, and God didn't want them to sell the land, because the land was God´s already anyway...

It was not a matter of land or money, but it was about them and their hearts...
I don't want to go into details here, but in the end they said they would pray again in the night and see if God would tell them anything...
For us it was all clear, but I was glad Miri was able to speak... I believe it was our responsibility to confront them with what they just did.
Another time when Yves was walking he also confessed he didn't believe we would get the money. 

The next day we met in town to sign the papers but they didn't mention anything about prayer or what God might have told them...
I felt weird all day but didn't know what else we could have done...
It felt wrong inside of us...and we felt sad...

Nothing changed for us really... and in the end we just got a proxy from them that will enable us to buy the land without their presence here anymore, and we gave them the 30.000e check for the land... giving back what they gave to God before... it felt weird again !!!
But , it's not in our hands anymore !!!

we are free to decide whatever, and we are free to make mistakes... God is not one with a wip in the hand to beat us up or force us to do anything we don't want... Yves said that all the mistakes he made God always turned them into good... what was weird was to hear that while he was making a mistake... or maybe he was referring to the first time he bought the land... this we knew it was not a mistake at all...

"God´s thoughts  are higher than our thoughts, God´s ways higher than our ways"

Everything is done now...well, not everything, I still need to figure out what to do to get the land under White Stone´s name, but to be honest, it doesn't really matter... all this paper stuff is an illusion, but I know it needs to be done in this reality...

We still live in this world so we need to play by the rules, and that´s it... 
But we don't belong to this world, and I don´t want to forget about it...We are to live in another dimension, another "kingdom", that is within, and it´s near...

such a wild ride, it is. what strange things you must be feeling, Baba. I can't imagine. but what a testimony of God's provision is that image of the many-zeroed Euro cheque. Jehovah Jirah, he is.

cheering you on
