“So it will be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body”
- 1 Corinthians 15:42-45

I MADE IT HOME
I just wanted to let you know that I made it home. The journey wasn’t an easy one, but it didn’t take too long. Everything is so pretty here, so white, so fresh, so new. I wish that you all could close your eyes and that you could see it too. Please try not to be sad for me. Try to understand God is taking care of me.
I’m in the shelter of His hands. Here there is no sadness, no sorrow, and no pain. Here there is no crying and I’ll never hurt again. Here it is so peaceful when yall the angels sing. I really have to go for now. I’ve just got to try my wings.
