Delivered From the Fire

We have a huge praise.  This is a story of God's protection over our family.  This is a testimony that next time you are really irritated by a situation, God could be using it as protection.

Last night my Mom was in town.  When I got home from work she had been making dinner.  We left to run some errands.  Impromptu, we decided to go to the tree lighting ceremony in downtown Lee' Summit.  I called Shawn to meet us.  I then proceeded to call him 3 more times with items I had forgotten, so it took him alot longer to get everything together and get out of the house.  Right before he left, the dinner on the stove caught on fire.    He put the fire out.  The house filled with smoke.  Very stinky smoke, it was very over powering!  Praise God, he was still there.  Had I not called with all of the annoying things to bring, he wouldn't have even been there.

Last night and tonight it was a lot of cleaning to get the house "de-smoked".  I was talking to God and asking why things were hard. He spoke very clearly to me "I protected you.  Your house could be gone right now."  I didn't complain after that.  Our God was faithful to protect us.  After a lot of cleaning and laundry, our house is almost back to normal.  We are all safe, minus a pan.

Our God protected us, and we are very thankful.  He literally delivered us from the fire.  Thank you God!

But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you.

Psalm 5:11

We're still rejoicing!

Love from a very thankful Walker Family
