So, my uncle who got saved a few days ago, and whose daughter got saved the next day, he's still in the hospital. The daughter (my cousin) is there taking care of him. Now, there had been a decade-long family feud between my uncles (mother's brothers).
Today I got the news that, my other uncle (let's call him uncle 2), one who's closest to my family, and his wife were on their way out of the hospital room after visiting uncle 1 (the first mentioned uncle) when uncle 3 (the villain in the family feud xD but hey I think he's a changed man now) and his wife were just about to enter the same room.
Cousin says, they were all surprised to see each other, there was no warning about each others' arrival and no one would've guessed what happened next... the brothers hugged each other and started crying. Uncle 1, upon seeing this, prayed and gave thanks, also started crying and soon enough, the entire room was filled with tears. The loooooong feud is finally over.
I feel so peaceful about it even though I was not directly affected (only that I never got to see my other cousins and don't even recall uncle 3's face). Part of the reason of this peace maybe because I know it brings so much more peace and joy to my mother who's been praying for a long long time about her family.
Aaaand. I'm officially on vacation starting right now. My flight is in the morning after tomorrow. And my birthday's coming up this Sunday (and, yes, I'd love gifts, dancing bday cats would be nice) and I'll be spending that with family. Going to visit the beach. Visit my old friends and just chill with the people I love. (Oh, yes, please pray for my safe travels to and fro, I'd really appreciate it, please pray for good weather and smooth travel.)
I can't help reminisce 7 months ago today, I was concerned of nothing else in the world but my own pleasures and comfort, and I was blinded by my own pride failing to see all the goodness of the Lord that never left me since the day I surrendered my life to Him. It's almost as if, after every season, His favour and goodness only grows stronger in my life. Sure, there were crazy days, lonely nights, meh moments, ugly memories and wrong decisions. I hurt myself and others in many ways I don't wish to recall. But through it all, I can testify that, Jesus' love only gets sweeter every time. My allegiance is in Christ alone and I'm looking forward to finishing this race and see Him face to face.

With that said, I'll be away for a few, but I'll be back soon. I hope you all have peaceful and joyful days to come. Much love, my CC family! <3
