I’m finally home! If you follow me on twitter or Instagram, you know the last few days my husband and I were in Chicago. I was so excited to try some Chicago pizza, and it did not disappoint! Oh my, it was delicious!

We had a blast and I’ll share more about my trip this week. But as much fun as we had, it was so good to come home. There’s something about coming home! It’s my safe place.

I love my home, but there’s another home I long for. A place I know I belong. A place without mourning, a place without pain and a place without death.

“He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” Revelation 21:4

I’m gonna wrap my arms around my daddy’s neck
And tell him that I’ve missed him
And tell him all about the man that I became
And hope that it pleased him
There’s so much I wanna say
So much I want you to know

When I finally make it home
When I finally make it home

When I finally make it home
Then I’ll gaze upon the throne of the King
Frozen in my steps
And all the questions that I swore I would ask
Words just won’t come yet
So amazed at what I’ve seen
So much more than this old mind can hold

When I finally make it home
When I finally make it home

And the sweetest sound these ears have yet to hear
The voices of the angels

When I finally make it home
When I finally make it home

Do you ever long for heaven? Do you have a loved one there that you want to wrap your arms around?

Have a blessed Sunday!

Hey friends! I have some things on my heart today and I need to share them with you. I know life is busy but I want you to know how much I appreciate you taking the time to stop by my blog.

I’ve been blogging since 2009, right before my Mom was diagnosed with gastric cancer. She passed away that year. This blog became a place for me to write about it and share my struggles.

In 2011, I took my blog in a different direction. I started writing about fashion & beauty and of course still shared about my faith. I found my niche and it’s been so much fun.

So why am I telling you this? Because this blogging thing takes time, a lot of time and thankfully over the last year I’ve been able to get paid through advertisement and through sponsored posts.

A sponsored post is when I’m sent a product to try, I write an honest post about it, and then they pay me. I only accept things that fit within my blog topic, but once maybe twice (at the most) a month,  you might see a sponsored post.

This month, I’ve had two, the Tide Pods and I’m also doing one for Strivectin. I hope you all understand and will give me grace when it comes to financially supporting my blog.

Now, to something different. This has been one of those rough weeks. You know the kind that cause you to lose some sleep over. My sister shared a little about it on her blog today. It’s called the Unexpected, and it’s definitely worth reading.

As always a song seems to touch me and I’ve listened to this song by Tenth Avenue North all week. Sometimes we’re just worn, aren’t we? Life is hard but thankfully we have a God who knows and understands.

Maybe you’re having one of those weeks too, I hope you find comfort in knowing that in the midst of your struggles, God is faithful.

Do you sometimes feel worn out? Are you having a rough week? If you want to share, I’d love to pray for you.

Have a blessed Sunday!
