On fire

Thank you, Google Images :)
If you haven't heard, Texas is on fire. Literally. Wildfires are blazing and consuming hundreds of thousands of acres. It's scary. They began so close to where I went to college last year. That's scary. They've moved across Texas to right outside where I currently live: in Houston. That's terrifying. So many people have lost their homes, their belongings and a few, even their lives. As of right now, I'm safe. I'm grateful.

I flew to Dallas this past weekend and on the plane ride back, I saw smoke. It took me a second, but I soon realized that I was flying over rural Austin. It was on fire. While I didn't particularly care for Austin, it made me so, so sad. The state I have lived in for all of my life and loved oh so much is on fire. Please, please be in prayer about Texas and the people of this great state.

Thank you!
