We are experiencing yet another summer with wild fires in Colorado Springs. 
We have our dear friends here, their 4 beautiful children, 5 chickens, 1 salamander, and 1 dog. Our friends, Dawn and Bill live in a beautiful home on 5 acres in Black Forest. They have been wonderful, encouraging friends to us and we are so thankful that we can support them during this time.

As I have been praying, crying and working to keep a strong faith in God's glory and his peoples good; God keeps telling me that this, for me, is the refining fire.
My foundation is being tested, and he is making me stronger, more solid! The refiners fire is what God spoke to me this morning. I hate it, yet I love it! I'm so thankful God works on me, that he is patient while I grow.While I learn to walk more a closely, more in tune with his love and care for me.
"God sent the message through the prophet Zechariah that He
would "refine them like silver and test them like gold" (13:9). That is painful,
but look at the promise: "They will call on my name and I will answer them; I
will say, 'They are my people,' and they will say, 'The LORD is our God.'" The
blessing will be ours." ~God is Love Blog
