Steven and Linda Or rather Devin and Wesley

Thankfully we were able to return to our house yesterday…yippee! The whole ordeal was a good reminder to me on what’s important –the Lord, family, friends and food, and what’s not–clothes and gadgets. I feel a little lighter, metaphorically that is.  : )

Thank the Lord for His protection! We’ve been holding our breathe since yesterday and this morning we got a “reverse 911 call” notifying us that our area was under a mandatory evacuation. Thankfully we had some small bags packed with our essentials which we had gathered yesterday, so when we got the call this morning we were ready and actually thankfully to escape the smoke that was getting quite bothersome and gave me a headache.

Devin’s been excited to see so many firemen and police cars, I’m just thankfully he’s not worried by all the commotion.

We’re currently North of the fires and keeping a close eye on the news, listening out for any word on the fire that’s threating our area. I’ll try to put some photos up soon. Thanks for your prayers, and thanks to Frank and Sara who have so kindly given us a room to stay in.
