A giant blazing fire in the hills right behind my house. Ash rained down around us as Kylea, oblivious to the situation, dug in the dirt colored with sidewalk chalk and rolled around in the grass.
My mind was put at ease when I read that the fire was well contained and no evacuations were necessary.
Today however, the wind started blowing (as it loves to do out here) and the wildfire is now only 20% contained and evacuations are being mandated in our community. So far we are in the "safe zone" but just barely. Though the fire has given the air a certain campfire-y smell (giving me an inexplicable craving for s'mores) I understand that the situation is quite serious.... we could lose our home.
Please, pray that we will be safe. Pray that if it's the Lord's will that our home will be protected. And pray that I will be able to track down graham crackers in my pantry before we are forced to leave, if it comes to that :)
