There are currently several fires raging in southern California. From my house in Fullerton, ash from the distant fires has been falling. It's so thick in the air that it appears cloudy outisde.
There are various reports, but at least 10 people have been injured so far, 100 homes destroyed, 5,400 homes evacuated, and 2,500 acres burned. The fire is estimated to be 10% contained; not a friendly figure for people living close to the flames.
My prayers go out to anyone involved and their safety.

Psalm 23
Humanity longs for control.
It is a glorious moment when the bleakness of our condition makes His light so inviting. When we realize the emptiness of our hearts, and replace selfish longing with His purpose.
There are so many moments when I've struggled in vain to make my own way. Even with truth in my heart, I'm reluctant to let go. I'm slowly learning to surrendur the darkness within me.
Sometimes I wonder why it's so hard for me. I'm realizing that God expects more than the profession of my mouth. He wants my life. My thoughts. My heart. I find myself in need of a reminder, of who He is, and what He wants for me.
