As many of you have heard, Santa Barbara is on fire. Already 100+ homes have been lost and the fire is still at 0% containment. Westmont lost many buildings and our dear friends Phil, Claire, and Sammy Ficsor (who have previously been in many pics on this blog) lost their home to the fire. They have been staying here with us since the fire and it seems that every hour we are already seeing the amazing provision of Christ. Through donated money, toys, clothes, shelter, and food they are finding their voices of praise and thanksgiving. Just today they were given a new place of their own to live until they are able to find a more permanent home. It is a BEAUTIFUL, quaint cottage here in Carpinteria and it is RIGHT on the beach. The backyard is a fully fenced in grass yard and the minute you step out the front door you are walking on sand. They are literally 30 feet from the ocean. And this place was offered to them from total strangers who have never met them. God is good!!!! So even though these are some pictures of their old house, the blessings of their new house and life are only beginning...
