Malachi 3:2-3 But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner’s fire, and like fullers’ soap: And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the Lord an offering in righteousness.

BACK FROM THE BIG SUR FIRE
WELL I FINALLY CAME BACK ABOUT 3 DAYS AGO. I HAD SUCH A GOOD TIME WITH MY CREW. I MET LOTS OF NEW PEOPLE. I ALSO HAD SOME CHALLENGES BUT WAS ABLE TO OVERCOME THEM. I HAD A PROBLEM WITH ONE PERSON FROM MY CREW BUT OVERALL MY ISSUES WERE WITH THE OVERHEAD. I FELT LIKE I WAS BEING TESTED ALL THE TIME BECAUSE I WAS NEW BUT I SHOWED THEM I COULD HANG. I HAVE TO SAY THAT I LOVE MY JOB. ITS BEEN VERY REWARDING ALREADY TO BE ABLE TO HELP PEOPLE ACCOMPLISH THEIR GOALS AS FAR AS PROMOTING WITHIN THE PROGRAM AND GETTING MY CREW TO APPRECIATE EACH OTHERS WEAKNESSES AND STRENGTHS. I FEEL SO BLESSED TO BE ABLE TO BE OUT THEIR HELPING THE FIREFIGHTERS WITH THEIR NEEDS AND STUFF. THIS JOB IS MY DAILY ACT OF SERVICE AND I LOVE IT. I MUST ADMIT EVER SINCE I GOT THIS JOB IVE BEEN SO TIRED. BUT ITS WORTH IT WHEN SOMEONE SEES THAT SOMEONE ELSE BELIEVES IN THEIR POTENTIAL AND STRIVES FOR BETTER. I TRULY LOVE THIS PROGRAM. I HAVE TONS OF PICTURES BUT DON'T KNOW HOW TO USE TJ AND DORA'S LAPTOP. BUT I MISSED MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS. ESPECIALLY MY CAT SUGAR SHANE MOSLEY. LOL
