Guys I am asking that you labor in prayer right now. We have been evacuated from our homes and our neighborhood. We are safe but many people have lost homes. This video is right down the road from us. We are not sure if my work (the gym) has been affected either. The winds are still crazy today and the fires are hard to contain. Power is still out and we are not sure when we can return home. Another fire just popped up south of us.
We are are extremely amazed and thankful by the support that has poured out from our community. Let’s continue that! Pray!!! Please pray for the families, the firefighters, and for our state.

Your in my prayers!!
Many prayers for your family and your home. I saw they are letting people back in today, hope all is ok. I saw they still only have it 50% contained, I will continue to keep you in my thoughts.
We had 2 fires over the weekend in Leander. The one on Monday was pretty close, we chose to stay. It’s 75% contained today.
Melissa recently posted..New Theme: Comet
We are ok, it was close. I am sickened because I just found out it was no accident for ours. 4 teenagers are being accused of arson. Who would do that?
done and DONE.
