Colorado Fires

Many of you already know that there have been a ton of fires in Colorado these past few weeks, and not just little ones either. Big fires. Evacuating thousands of people from their homes and not being able to contain the fire kind of big. Scary big. And many times you just look at the news and you think "that is tragic" but then life moves on and you go about your day. Unless you're the person that got evacuated, unless you're their neighbors, unless your family is one of the people who had to leave their home.

Josh's aunt and uncle live in one of those areas that got evacuated and was in high danger. They had to leave their precious home behind. But they did that in faith. They left knowing that the next time they came back their house and everything in it might not be there. But they were so strong and so trusting in God. There were many prayers that went out for this family and for all of those around them. Even when we weren't on our knees, there was always a prayer in our hearts that they, and their house, would be okay. It is the hard times in life where people's character really shines through. The Marlor family is an inspiration to me with their faith, strength and the hope that they had.

Words can't really describe the emotions and happenings of the past week, and I can't pretend to know everything that went on through out that time. But I want the Marlor family to know that they are always in my thoughts and in my prayers (along with all of those people who have been affected by these fires). We love you!
