Our apartment is totally empty now. We are in the motorhome, using the electricity from the house. We will park here until we sign the sale on the 20th.
We are comfortable here until we get all this business done. 🙏
The apartment is empty. The pilgrims are in the Benimar. The transition has already happened. Four days until the signing — but the freedom is already real. Galatians 5:1 arrives on the very night the bondage is behind them.
"Stand fast in the liberty by which Christ has made us free."
"C'est pour la liberté que Christ nous a affranchis. Demeurez donc fermes."
Liberty. Liberté. Christ has made us free. Not will make. Has made. And the command: stand fast. Demeurez fermes. Standing fast is not earning the liberty. It is refusing to give it back. The road to France is the road of liberty.
"Do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage."
"Ne vous laissez pas mettre de nouveau sous le joug de la servitude."
Do not be entangled again. The entangling is not forced — it is permitted. Psalm 45:10 — incline your ear and forget your father's house. Liberty is forward. Bondage is backward. The pilgrim already in the motorhome — already facing forward.
"If the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed."
"Si donc le Fils vous affranchit, vous serez réellement libres."
Jean 8:36 · Louis Segond"Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty."
"Là où est l'Esprit du Seigneur, là est la liberté."
2 Corinthiens 3:17 · Louis SegondFree indeed. Réellement libres. Really free. And where the Spirit is, there is liberty. Not in the location. In the Spirit. The Spirit is in the motorhome. On the road. In the French Bible. Wherever the Spirit is — liberty. Wherever Le and Roger and Jolie go. 🙏
✦ The Arc of Freedom
Fénelon: let. Took me years to let. Bondage of self — released.
Psalm 91: the secret place that travels with the pilgrim.
Spurgeon: how high when He lifts. Freedom of depending on the Lifter.
Smith: pursue love. Liberty to pursue what grace produces.
Salmo 143: tenho sede de ti. Freedom of thirst.
Isaiah 55:3: incline your ear, come to Me. Freedom of the inclined ear.
Lewis: He washed my feet and because He did, I love. Freedom of the loved.
Tonight: Galatians 5:1. Apartment empty. Road open. Stand fast. The pilgrim is free.
"C'est pour la liberté que Christ nous a affranchis. Demeurez donc fermes."
Galates 5:1 · Caldas da Rainha · August 16, 2026 · The apartment is empty — the road is open — stand fastLiberty
Christ has made us free. The apartment empty. The freedom already real. Stand fast in it.
Do Not Be Entangled
The old yoke whispers. Paul says: do not listen. Liberty is forward.
Where the Spirit Is
Where the Spirit is, there is liberty. Not in the location. In the Spirit. Wherever they go.
The Road Is Open
Four days. The arc from bondage to liberty. The pilgrim is free.
