WHAT REMAINS of the tangible… but God!
mischelle and Jim texted me at 10:41 PM on 8/8/23 - where are you? They asked our home is your home! What ? Huh? Power was out all day as winds howled.- no phone alerts, so the decision to bed down banking power restoration @ daylight.
… But, as I parted the curtains and sliding glass door —- The flames were darting left and right…fire engulfing the neighbors home.
grabbed car keys, handbag & through a sarong around my body and fled.
I got away with my life and for that I am eternally thankful to God and to Mischelle and Jim. God‘s counting on his people, strangers and friends alike to restore what was left behind - now ash. No insurance as ocean proximity made it cost prohibitive.
if you’re tapped on the shoulder, if your heart is tweaked, this is real. VERY REAL! This is heart wrenching, but simultaneously my faith leaps for joy because HE has me in the palm of His hand … He is my strength.!!
mahalo and bless you all!!
