This week we have friends from America visiting. It was on their list to climb the Hooiberg mountain. So we got out of bed at 5:30 am and were on top just before sunrise. What a view! One of our guests brought his drone with him to take some nice photos and videos. As he flew his drone over the water park at the bottom of the Hooiberg, he said that he thought it would be fun to go to the water park.
A few hours later we were in San Nicolas helping out at the Hub. There he started talking to another volunteer. It turned out that she knew the owner of the water park. Long story short; the owner turned out to be interested in the video footage and a day later we could enjoy the water park with six people for free.
Last Sunday we went to church in the morning. The pastor spoke about how we can ask God for everything and that we can trust that He will give us what we need. At the end of the service we had silent prayer. I asked God why it is taking so long before we can sign for our house. During the prayer I had the thought: “this week”. I noticed that, based on various recent disappointments, I quickly dismissed the thought with: “it will be okay”, and after the prayer I just went on with the day. But on Monday we received a message from the notary that she has collected all the papers and that we will receive an appointment to sign shortly. What a view!
Today I had a counseling session with a lady. She told me everything she has been through. It was mind-blowing. Even now, her situation still looks dire and hopeless. I talked to her about how our Father never lets go and wants to walk with us in all circumstances. She told me about how she knows that her Father speaks to her and lets her know what she can do in every situation. She always keeps her eyes on Him and continues in confidence, despite everything. What a view!
