Thank you for the reminder that as much as the "fire" in our life can be painful, God is still working for our ultimate good and can use it to refine us. And what an important idea, to realize that people might be watching us and will be affected by our response to the fire!<br /><br />~AmberAmber Holcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15100265646497152198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5411823868794674893.post-34178330509772223012011-08-09T10:00:35.067-04:002011-08-09T10:00:35.067-04:00Hi!
