What a strong story of faith and love. So much suffering that you’ve seen and described yet always more love. Always more hope. 💫

Thank you Trudi. I think we've all shared in seeing the suffering of the world, sleepless at times, as dreams and nightmares carry us through the realities of events. But. Yesss. Always more hope. ox

SO WORTH repeating again;

"He is a Love that recklessly fights for us while we’re fighting, dreams for us while we’re dreaming, carries us through our joys and storms, receives us in heaven where death hath no sting. No shadow He won't light up, mountain He won't climb up, coming after us. No wall or monster’s door He won’t kick down, no lie he won’t tear down, coming after us. He has been so so good to us. Today and always. Amen."

Thank you for your testimony!

As a fire fighter and a Christian who loves the book of Daniel, how could I not like this.

That’s incredible but also devastating but then it’s amazing again but then back to sorrowful. Wow

Right? these rollercoasters during fires. And now to watch what has happened from the hurricanes. Heart breaking :(

Oh this made me smile so big! Thank you for reading it Jon. These SoCal fires have been so bad in recent years and knowing our family was staying to fight brought back lots of memories of when we almost lost our family home. When I was praying and my John was sitting at the base of the mountain praying, I saw this vision. Then we got a text the next morning around 5am that they made it through the firestorm we just cried. God was so good to our family. But many lost their homes. They saved several homes while the FD was spread out on fires all over SoCal and chasing this one to Wrightwood, plus holding the line from the village and above to the lifts.
