NC Family

We just returned from a quick trip to Wake Forest, NC to visit family. Chuck's dad is not doing well and we want to try and see him as often as we can before he leaves us.

We love to visit with the rest of the family as well and this time we got to meet our newest family member - our great-nephew Vaden. Our niece Melissa and her husband, Randy, had Vaden about 3 1/2 weeks ago. He is a precious little guy and it was awesome to be able to see him so soon. It made me all the more excited about our future granddaughter.

We stayed with Chuck's sister, Eileen and our brother-in-law Jerry and their happy, bustling house of children. It is never quiet nor dull there and I always feel welcomed and loved when there. There is something special about the Mestas Family and you feel it as soon as you are welcomed into the house. They also have the best desserts around :)

While up in NC, I found out that I didn't get the third job I had interviewed for and although it wasn't really even something I wanted that bad, the rejection hurt all the same. I was reminded by Eileen, that God is Good and He has something in store for us. She also reminded me that we really only need our daily bread and HE has most certainly provided that for us all along.

I feel grateful for my life and although this time of unemployment and uncertainty is not what I would have chosen for us, I am so at peace today and even excited to see where God is leading us.
