It's Been Awhile!

Well, hello there! I see it has been a while since I last did a post. I seriously did not mean for it to be this long, and I know that I said I would start posting more over the holidays. Well, um.. 😂😂 I'm not sure if that happened the way I wanted it to. I've just had no motivation to actually sit down and write a blog post. 

 

I'm not sure if people still even read this blog anymore, since we have been inactive, but if you still do, I just want to say thank you for taking the time in your day to read this blog post.

 

I don't know if I'll actually post about Animal Jam anymore. I think if anything, I will post more about poems, music, and the Christian life. 

 

Well, I suppose I'll give you a little peak into what my life has been for a little while! I have been busy with school, we actually got sick for a little bit and I ended up getting behind so I'm still working on catching up with that. I have discovered a passion for playing the keyboard, and also the violin. Awhile back, about a year or so ago, I also discovered a talent for singing. Most of my life has pretty much been the same as it has been, just with different things that come up along the way. 

 

Lately, I have seen God work in my life. There's some things that can seem so small to people, but so big to me. I have been focusing on my actual Spiritual life, rather than on a game that is practically useless and just a thing that will perish away.

 

I would like to share this little poem with you, and I hope that it can speak to your heart.

It's so cold.

It feels like it's out of control.

I know you're molding me,

But I feel so trolled.

 I'll hold onto your hand,

even though I'm not in the promised land,

I'll continue to walk with you, holding hands.


I have a load to carry,

But I know I can lay it down.

Though my heart is heavy,

and I know that life isn't always merry,

I know that you always will carry the load that I feel forced to carry.

And in the midst of darkness,

I pray you'll hold onto me,

just when I feel like it's too heavy.

Well y'all! I think that pretty much wraps it up on what I'd like to say. 

Here's today's bible verse! 

Matthew 11:28-30

28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

Hey!

Well. I haven't been here in a while. In fact, it's been well over a year since I last posted on here. I posted one day and then mysteriously disappeared the next. Oops. It took me a while to even sign into this account because I forgot my password. HA

Well hey guys! In case you don't know me, my name is Grace. I'm more well known around here as Graciepopstar91. I started this blog about five or six years ago as a hobby. I was super into Animal Jam back then, and I decided to start a blog to share my love about all things Animal Jam. Long story short, this blog was my passion, and it helped me learn so much about writing. In 2018 I slowly started to become inactive on here. About 15 months ago I completely stopped writing on here, because I became the assistant news editor for a website that posts about Christian music. Before I started writing for them, this blog was a place where I wrote about Christian music. Which was probably pretty annoying for some people since this is an Animal Jam blog. But I felt like I needed a place to express my love for Christian music. Eventually I found that place, and now I'm doing artist interviews, writing editorials, and all that stuff! So that's what I've been up to for the past year or so.

This blog still feels like home. It's the place where I first started writing, and I want to leave this blog up for as long as I possibly can. Although this blog is kind of inactive right now, it holds so many memories. So yes, even though I don't play Animal Jam anymore or post on here, this blog is like a time capsule, and it's so special to me. Who knows? Maybe this blog will continue to stay active, and we'll be able to find some more bloggers to help keep it alive in the years to come. (Do people still write about Animal Jam anymore even?? I have no idea. I feel like I left for a year and everything is different now. And do people still say "XD??")

So basically this is just a post explaining where I've been and telling you all that I'm still alive (insert XD or whatever is appropriate now here). I'll continue to check in when I can. If I knew you sometime during 2013-2017 when I was super active on Animal Jam, post a comment down below! I'd love to reconnect with you again! And if people still actually read this blog and you need anything, reach out to Housemom418. She's an admin on here and probably knows more about the blog than I do at this point. 😂

Talk to you all soon! :)
Love, Grace
