Blessings through disaster...

You know God works in mysterious ways...I know this and say this often but he reaffirms it in my life so often.  On Thursday our town was the site of a disastrous wildfire.  It could have been so much worse but thanks to all of our emergency response teams, forestry service, local firemen and women, sheriff's department, etc it did not turn into near the devastating situation it could have been.  I had the privilege of working at our church which was the command center as a volunteer and helped organize many aspects of the efforts to help the families and emergency workers. What a team God brought together!  Through  all these terrible sets of circumstances I was blessed beyond measure by the outpouring of generosity of our community and way beyond.  So proud of how God brought everyone together to save homes, help people who did lose homes, and just neighbors helping each other.  Below are some of the pictures of this horrible fire.  Please pray for all these people and others who were affected by this fire.  Many lost homes, property, and many important things to them but thanks to God they will always have the most important thing, His love and their salvation!  God bless you all!
