"The Fire"





Isaiah 43:2
"Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze."
God is so perfect and amazing. On Friday night we had the scare of our lives. Bo had put day old charcol coal powder down in some dirt about 6 pm. We BBQ some ribs, ate dinner, the boys played, and them got ready for bed 8:30. As the boys were getting ready for bed, Bo had found a dead mouse under the sink (praise Jesus it was under there) and took it outside to the trash. On his way back he saw the fire. It was big. In the pictures the fire started at the bottom of the hill. The flames were almost as high as the tree in front. 10-15 foot high flames. He ran in and told us there was a fire and to get out of the house. I ran and got the boys out of the house and put them in the car. Bo went into super hero mode. He tried a fire extinquisher which did nothing. I called 911. He then got the hose and started to fight the fire. By the time I got off the phone. The huge flames had turned to smoke. By the time the fire truck had arrived Bo had put the fire out. It was God for sure. There is no way Bo could have gotten that fire out without God. It was huge!!!! The timing was perfect had Bo not gone out of the house even for a few more minutes the big tree would have caught on fire for sure. It was our burning bush like God sent Moses.

Wow, that gave me the goosebumps. Fire is so scary. Funny that you can praise God for a mouse in your house!!! Thankful that everyone is safe.
