BMW Z4

yup, you read right, i got to drive a BMW Z4 Roadster not that long ago, my brother bought it, and came one day unexpectedly home with it to let me give it a ride, and man! that is what i call a car! it was the nicest feeling to overtake cars :P the version is a 3.0 V6 with 200 hp, and man, can it fly! you reach 160 kmp/h almost without noticing. and get from nought to 100km in 5.7 seconds, it really is a wicked car!

i look forward to having it on my hands again and squish that engine and see what is it capable of :p till then, i'll just have to grace my sight with the pictures and keep dreaming of it.....
but i'l also let you delight your sight with it too :)

Witnessing time in London!

So, after visiting Iceland i went directly to London, where i stayed a total of 10 days in 2 homes, the Hillton home, and the Oasis home.
i must say that for me it was a very special time where i got to meet some dear friends, and go out witnessing in great adventures! first i'll let you meet the crew of the Hillton home ;) full of nice people.
There were 5 FGA/SGA adults: Isaac, a great magician as i've heard.

Then comes Angelina, a very independent and versatile YA, who's birthday was not that long ago :)

And to end, let's not forget about the stellar apparition of Joy! with wich i got to share a few days with her before she had to go to Ireland. we love you tonz JOY!! PSD: we still have those videos of you singing with the stuffed dog :P Joy & Ely

and so, that is all for the moment concerning the inhabitants of that piece of heaven, and i'll move on to narrate the highlights of my stay :D
we went witnessing at least 2 or 3 times, wich was really encouraging and fun! i love to go out and meet new people in the street and tell them about the Lord, and see the difference from people in different countries how they react to it. Those that know me for long know that i would have never said that a 5 years ago years back... i had panick to go out witnessing!! i never wanted to go out :P and if i did i was in a bad mood because of it.. but TTL i got over it, and now i love it! i even have pity for the normal people you find in the street about the things they talk about and the useless lives they live.... makes me want to start to talk with them and show them that there is something more, that there still exists something brighter, something better, something to live and die for in this rotten world of ours...
but anyway, yeah, lets get back to the witnessing there in London :p i'll just mention the best day, wich was the one when we went to Hyde park, looking for muslims to talk with. we didn't find many but the few we found were quite interesting people, i would like to know more about them. so we arrived there almost at lunch time, and we were going to provision the lunch. there were different opinons, some that we should go and ask now for all of us (we were 6) at just one place, or divide in 2 groups, or go later when the lunch rush hour had passed. i was the main deffensor of the last, i think i was a bit afriad that they might not give us the lunch at this time, but we stopped to pray and ask the Lord what to do, and amazingly enough, i got that we should go then and ask for all of us; Stella and Andrew went to a pizza hut to provision the food for us, and 5 minutes later they came with bright faces saying that we would have lunch in 10 minutes! PTL!!! oh me of little faith... but i felt great! because i saw how the Lord spoke directly to me, and how he fulfilled His promise! it was a good start i must say :p.

after finishing lunch we had a nice LJ time and divided into teams, i went with Wraf, and we met some dear precious people there, like a bunch of arab girls who even shared their snacks with us!, and a brazillian guy with whom i got to blabber a few words in portuguese and talk in spanish with a portuguese accent LOL no really i thik that the Lord sent me a helper that spoke portuguese, because i could even say whole sentences in portuguese and i'd never spoken in portuguese before! it came out easily, and when i didn't get the words i'd just say them in spanish, and since they are suchsimilar languages we understood each other completely.
after the witnessing time, we encountered a nice Lamborghini wich Wraf and Stella took pictures with, i think Stella should own one of these, they suit her :P maybe in heaven huh? whatdayasay? :D

Stella and her Lamborghini

that day we came back late to the home and i have to say that i really was sorry, for there, waiting for me almost the whole day, had been a really dear friend of mine, who said that would go to the home that day to see me and talk. it really was very special for me to see you there Sophia, i'll never forget that talk we had. like i've often told you, to me, you're like a beacon of pure light in the midst of darkness, you are my role model! i treasure your friendship very dearly and having known you has been one of the best things that have happened to me in life, everytime i meet you, my life changes for the better :P and that day i must say was the best i've spent in London. ILY Sophia!! and Praise the Lord for having made someone like you :) you really are an angel in disguise ;)

Sophia and me

we went other days out witnessing, this time with Sat, and that day we made it to the cover of the Grapevine!!! can you believe it? if not, see for yourself :P and we also stopped to amuse our sight with this other shop.... LOL they really have funny names these hardware shops... ;)

Our witnessing team made it to the Grapevine!

Middlesex Machines, Power tool specialists :P

oh well, this post is getting quite long.. i'll leave the rest for a next post, so keep tuned! :D

1 Corinthians 13 - Today

"1. If I can speak five different languages that I've learned from my time on the mission field, and if I've had the gift of tongues for years now, but I don't have love enough to hold my tongue from gossiping or putting down others, then I've not only become a whole lot of useless noise, but I'm becoming a destructive influence on those around me.

2. And although I faithfully get all of my Word time and even extra, and I can get long, detailed prophecies in public or in private, and although I've memorized all the helpers and hinderers and their powers, and although I have a lot of spiritual faith and even the gift of healing, if I don't have love enough to sometimes sacrifice my "perfect" Word and devotions time to take the kids so the parents can get their Word time‚ then all those other things don't mean much to the Lord.

3. And even if I spend all day out on the front lines faithfully reaching the rich and sacrificially considering the poor and pushing Activated at every opportunity, but I come home and can't show the Lord's love to my fellow Home members, my day and all my "good works" are worthless.

4. Real love has a long, hard, frustrating day where nothing seems to have gone right, yet doesn't get snappy and short-tempered with others. Real love stays sweet for the sake of others no matter what—just because it's the loving thing to do. Real love doesn't mind when someone else gets a better room, or gets to go to a party, fellowship, or meeting that you didn't, simply because real love is glad that the other person is happy. Real love actively fights pride, and actively embraces opportunities to do the humble thing.

5. Real love cares about being a good Christian sample, even to its fellow Home members and disciples, because real love is a reflection of Me. Real love doesn't complain, murmur‚ gripe, guilt-trip, or pressure others to get what it wants, because real love is too busy being concerned about the needs of others to spend much time worrying about its own needs. Real love doesn't get short-tempered and raise its voice with others. Real love doesn't get involved with unedifying System input, because it knows that to stay a pure, clean vessel of My love requires dwelling on the good things and keeping its channel clean.

6. Real love hates to hear gossip about others, and instead wants only to talk about the good that others have done and all the real and true ways that they're a big blessing and are great to live with.

7. Real love is flexible and has rise-above power that can help you take each day in stride and handle anything that comes your way. Real love is always ready to give the benefit of the doubt‚ and believe that someone's motives were good, pure, and honest. Real love hopes that others can reach their full potential and gives them the opportunity to do so by never losing faith in them. Real love doesn't run out of faith and patience.

8. Real love never fails someone else by depending only on the love stored in an earthly heart. Real love looks to Me to receive My complete love with which to love others, so that it will never run out. Anything else in the whole world can fail, except that which comes from Me. You can fail and even receive an incomplete prophecy‚ confusing or useless tongues, and your own knowledge can completely mislead you.

9. Because you're just a fallible person, and your grasp of the things of Heaven is only partial at best.

10. But when My Spirit of Love lives in you‚ it can override all your mistakes and fallibilities and can help you to grasp these deeper things of the spirit and live them.

11. You can all be such immature children with My Law of Love: The way you talk about it is childish, the way you think about it is childish, the way you act on it is childish; but I'm challenging you to become spiritual adults and mature in your application and move past your childish ways.

12. For right now you're living the perfect Law of Love in an imperfect world, and there will always be mistakes or problems and things that you don't understand. But soon the day is coming when you'll live it perfectly in My perfect Kingdom, and then you'll understand it just as I do, and you'll know it was right.

13. There are a lot of good things in life, and a lot of things I ask you to do for Me‚ but nothing is as important as love!"

I just hope that this will inspire you as much as it did to me to keep on showing love, love is the greatest force in universe, and we're here on earth for nothing more than to spread love to one another, we as true christians should always show love, and everytime we don't we're failing our commitment to Him. that makes someone think... doesn't it? let's not forget it, and show more love.

Mathew 25: 45 "Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me"
