Return of the Blogger: Part 1

Hey guys!
Oh my goodness! I missed you all and the blog and everything sooo much! :)
Ah! You have no idea how good it feels to be BACK!! Lately I've been so busy it's not even funny, and I've been waiting for one moment to catch a breath and WRITE!

My heart is seriously about to burst since I haven't written in so long, so I knew that if I didn't start again soon, my life was in grave danger. (I'm just kidding, by the way!)

So first I wanted to start off by saying hello and telling you somethings that will be new this fall with my blog! First off, I will most likely be posting at least once a week during the soccer season(now!). Also, it has been about a year since I posted my very first post on my blog, so it is my 1 year Anniversary! Yeah me:). Because of that, I would like YOU, reader, to select your FAVORITE post of mine and contact me about it(annagp.16@gmail.com)so I can re-post it at some point to celebrate my 1-year Anniversary.

Another thing I would like to start doing is taking tips or suggestions for things I can add to my blog or you would like to see me write more about, so feel free to tell me anything you want!

I AM really glad to be back! Don't forget me!
I love you, readers:).
Until Next Time,

Summer Vacation!

Hey!

I will miss it, but it will be nice to take a break.

I hope you all have a WONDERFUL and safe summer!

With much love,

Badlands, South Dakota

Rehoboth Beach, Delaware


So I haven't written on my blog for a long time....too long. And here I am, sitting at the computer at 8:30 PM, wondering what to write about. There are lots of interesting things in my life, yes. But what can I put into words?

How about I show you some of my favorite places on earth?

16 and a half days until summer and Sam's graduation.

30 days until Nemacolin.

40 days until the Fourth of July.

About 68 days until I get to see one of my best friends ever.

98 days until my parents' 25th anniversary.

Where has my life gone?!

I am running out of ideas for things to write about...sorry I can't come up with anything better:).

Hope you have a great day!

Awesome Verse:)

Romans 8:35,38-39
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? For I am convinced that neither death nor life, angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor any thing else in creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Footprints in the Sand by Mary Stevenson

One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord.
Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.
In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.
Sometimes there were two sets of footprints,
other times there were one set of footprints.

This bothered me because I noticed
that during the low periods of my life,
when I was suffering from
anguish, sorrow or defeat,
I could see only one set of footprints.

So I said to the Lord,
"You promised me Lord,
that if I followed you,
you would walk with me always.
But I have noticed that during
the most trying periods of my life
there have only been one
set of footprints in the sand.
Why, when I needed you most,
you have not been there for me?"

The Lord replied,
"The times when you have
seen only one set of footprints in the sand,
is when I carried you."
