Susan Wales posted this message on her page.

There are no words to express my heartfelt gratitude to God, family, and friends who prayed for us. You are a part of my miracle - and what a miracle! God spared me as I drove through the fire and struggled to get out of the Palisades Highlands where we live for 3 hours, even driving through flames at times. The Lord then provided a place for us after we were evacuated a 2nd time from Brentwood. And yesterday, it was confirmed that our home is still standing! But tremendous loss is all around us, so please keep praying for our community. Our church, schools and stores are all gone. Please read Psalm 91 and stand on God's promises and for every aspect of your lives too! ❤️
