My mom and I are very thankful for the time we've had in this house.
On the morning of January 7th, I went outside the house to take a picture of the Palisades Fire. Shortly after this, we evacuated to my brother's family, who was so welcoming and hospitable.
The next night, we learned that our house had burned down.
We weren't able to take too much with us, but my mom and I are both well (and the cat), and we have felt God's peace and care in everything 😊
One of the things that I lost in the first which was meaningful to me was a ring, like the one above, that I used to wear almost every day. It had Deuteronomy 31:8 (in Hebrew) engraved on it.
This ring was a temporary physical symbol of an eternal spiritual truth that does not change...
This spiritual truth about God's wonderful faithfulness and constant presence does not change, whether I have a physical ring, or not, or a physical house, or not, or anything else, or not.
God goes before us, He is with us, He never leaves us nor forsakes us, and He doesn't want us to be afraid or dismayed 😊
After staying with my brother's welcoming family for the first two weeks, we've been staying in the home of a very kind person from my church. We are so thankful to God for this!
We've been working on all the things that need to be done in this time, and we're looking for a place to live. We would appreciate prayer for God's wonderful will, way, and time for everything.
Thank you!
