The Earthquake Rescue Trauma 0:16 I was going to work that morning, the day of the earthquake. I see the buildings have fallen down into the street. I finally get to the fire station. We have to, like, climb under the0:28 doors to get in there because the power's out to the fire station, and then we get a call to go up to this hillside home that had fallen during during the earthquake. Mom and dad are okay now. We can get them0:40 out, but I got my now I'm after finding the 4 year old daughter, and I start ripping and tearing and pulling things out. And then I find some sheets, like on a bed. So I go, oh, my0:52 God. I'm I I know she's in bed, so I I must be close. As I'm ripping away at the sheets, and I grab her foot. And that foot is like1:04 my 1 year old daughter. She just had her birthday. And, that foot was the same size as my daughter. So it it kinda, like, really took me, shook me up.1:17 And, that whole day, we still had to go work. We had to still do our job, and I just had to suck it up and just do what had to be done.Surrendering Burdens to Christ 1:30 I decided to, accept Christ as my Lord and savior. And I just was bawling my eyes out. And it was just like it1:42 was just a a release of, like, all the tension. Because here I was. I was gonna give it up. And I wasn't gonna have to be the guy in charge that was1:54 making things happen in my life anymore. I actually had somebody I can give these burdens to that were on my mind, being a a new dad, a husband,2:06 providing for my family, learning how to love somebody other than myself. My life was centered around myself. Being2:18 the fire captain, running the crew, you feel responsible for the people that are working for you and to take care of them. We had some fatalities happen, some firefighters2:29 die. And it wasn't until I realized and God kinda revealed it to me that you can't learn everything they need to know that's gonna save their life. So you have to trust that God is in control.2:42 Do a reasonable amount of work every day on trying to train up the people that are working under you and with you so that you're able to be ready for the situation that could happen. But knowing that,2:54 when it does happen, that was not anything you could have had control of. We had the 16 year old girl who, was having an argument with her mother,God's Sovereignty Over Life and Death 3:06 and she jumps off this 200 foot cliff. And, we get called out there to go for this rescue. And, when the firefighters get to the bottom of the hill and they get3:17 there, here she is sitting and all she has is a banged up knee. And she curses at him and says, why didn't I die? And they said, no. It wasn't your time. And3:29 then only 2 weeks later, we had a guy jump off off a bridge, same thing, 200 foot fall, and he's into the ocean, and he dies. So we realized that God3:41 knows when and where everybody's gonna die. You as a firefighter have no control over that, but you do have to just do your part and be ready3:53 and train yourselves up to be ready for the situations that gonna come up, but realizing that you can't do it all and you have to trust that God's God's got your back.In this video 0:00 The Earthquake Rescue Trauma1:30 Surrendering Burdens to Christ3:00 God's Sovereignty Over Life and Death
