AG Doll Dreams is undergoing MAJOR CONSTRUCTION!!! 🎉😄💕

Posted on by Hope @AG Doll Dreams/A Spark Of Hope

Hello, muffins! (I got tired of saying “y’all”, ok?) I’ve been thinking about this for a while now. When I started AG Doll Dreams, I was planning on blogging only about dolls, but lately other post ideas have been hopping into my head, like writing stuff and craft ideas and witnessing stuff and lots of that sort of thing. So, I pondered my options: start another blog and keep this one, start another blog and scrap this one, or… well, you’re just gonna have to wait to hear the third option.

Option 1: Start another blog, but keep AG Doll Dreams too.

Well, frankly, this wouldn’t work since I already have trouble posting on here without the added stress of another blog, and I felt like God was telling me that that wasn’t the answer, so this is a No.

Option 2: Start another blog and say goodbye to AG Doll Dreams.

No… I thought long and hard, and decided that I couldn’t shut down this blog. It’s brought me so many new experiences, and I wanted to keep it.

So, you may be asking, what is Option 3?

Well….

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

I will be keeping AG Doll Dreams, but…

.

.

.

.

.

.

It will be renamed, and become a lifestyle and writing blog!!! Never fear, it will still have Doll posts, and I am NOT going to forget NTH, don’t worry. But now, it will have inspirational posts like my You Can Only Be You post, writing posts, and other posts that would seem out of place on a Doll Blog.

There is only one small problem:

WHAT SHOULD I RENAME IT!?!? I have been wracking my brain and have absolutely no idea. I want it to be pretty, and go along with the purpose of my blog: to spread the LORD’s light to the world.

So, there you have it! I’ll be posting more as the idea develops into reality, and I’ll be trying to come up with a fixed posting schedule as well, among other things. So, do any of you have ideas for a blog name? I’m curious!!! TELL ME!!! XD

Easter~Death Has Been Conquered!+The Goodbye

Posted on by Hope @AG Doll Dreams/A Spark Of Hope

Hello, everyone! Happy Easter!!! While many people are having egg hunts or playing April Fools Pranks, I am rejoicing! It amazes me so much that the God of the universe sent his one and only Son to be hated by many and die a cruel death for those same people- and for you and me! But it doesn’t end there!!! He conquered death and ROSE FROM THE GRAVE SO THAT WE TOO CAN HAVE ETERNAL LIFE!! That is the purest form of love imaginable.

I’ve been practicing a song for church, and the words really spoke to me.

Lyrics

How deep the Father’s love for us,

How vast beyond all measure,

That He should give His only Son

To make a wretch His treasure.

How great the pain of searing loss –

The Father turns His face away,

As wounds which mar the Chosen One

Bring many sons to glory.

Behold the man upon a cross,

My sin upon His shoulders;

Ashamed, I hear my mocking voice

Call out among the scoffers.

It was my sin that held Him there

Until it was accomplished;

His dying breath has brought me life –

I know that it is finished.

I will not boast in anything,

No gifts, no power, no wisdom;

But I will boast in Jesus Christ,

His death and resurrection.

Why should I gain from His reward?

I cannot give an answer;

But this I know with all my heart –

His wounds have paid my ransom.

#How Are You? Get Involved!

Posted on by Hope @AG Doll Dreams/A Spark Of Hope

Hey, everyone!!! My friend Gracie posted this on her blog, and it was too good not to reblog!! So comment on below and tell me, how are you??? *hugs* 💕😄

A Light In The Darkness

How are you? 

Simple question, right? One you’ll hear pretty much everyday, probably several times. I’m sure you’ll have your automatic answer all lined up.  Something along the lines of ‘Fine, thanks’ or ‘I’m okay’ or ‘Good’ or whatever. You say it without even thinking.

What happens if you do think about it though? What happens if you pause before you answer and ask yourself how you really are? Would your answer be different?

So I’m asking you – how are you? 

Be creative, be thoughtful, but most importantly, be honest.

Now, if you think this is great, please get involved by either sharing this post or writing your own, spread this around the blogosphere, encourage people to be open and honest, show people how to care about each other! We can do this, guys!

Happy Birthday, Bethany!

Posted on by Hope @AG Doll Dreams/A Spark Of Hope

ITS BETHANY’S BIRTHDAY!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Here’s a photostory, but be aware. Bethany is crazy 😂😂😂😂😂😂

In MY POV YAYY

The dolls and I were decorating and setting up for Bethany’s birthday bash. Everything was going according to plan.

I glanced over and saw that Bethany was getting out of bed, so I quickly turned to the girls.

“Quick, Mandy, hide the present! Lealani, is Victoriana-” I didn’t have time to say anything more because Bethany walked in that very second.

“Hi, everyone!” She said. Then she noticed all of the decorations. “Hey, is it someone’s birthday? Did I forget?” We all stared at her.

Felicity facepalmed. “It’s YOUR birthday, silly!”

“IT IS!?!?”

“OH YEAH!!! I’M THIRTEEEEEEEEEEEEN!!!” Bethany squealed. I groaned.

As Bethany danced around the room, I whispered to Lealani.

“Can you distract Bethany so we can finish setting up?” “Sure!” She responded happily.

While Lea played with Bethany, we finished putting up decorations and setting out the food.

“There.” Mandy grinned as she set down the present.

“DONE!” Chrissa proclaimed triumphantly.

“Can you go give the birthday girl her special outfit and bring her back here with Lea?” I asked Raven. “Sure!” She hurried away.

While Raven was gone, Felicity sneaked into her seat. The girls laughed and chatted.

Then, Bethany came in with Lealani and Raven tagging behind.

The girls all started singing. “Happy Birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy Birthday dear Bethany, happy birthday to you!!!!” Felicity popped a party hat on her head, and Bethany grinned from ear to ear.

Bethany sat down and began opening her present. First there was a blanket from Felicity.Then there was a light-up volcano from Chrissa.A coloring book from Mandy, And a jar of sweet honey from Raven. “Make sure to count it in your carbs!” Raven laughed.

Then Lealani led out the last present- the one from me!

Bethany gasped. “Another doll!?!?” “Yes! Her name is Victoriana.” I smiled as Bethany took both dolls on her lap. “Thank you SO SO SO much, Mami!!!””You are so welcome.” I smiled.

Then Bethany went around the room and hugged each of her sisters, because even if they weren’t all related, God had brought them together as sisters in Christ.

And everyone actually forgot about the cake.

THE END!!!

What did you guys think!?!? Are you excited for Bethany becoming a teenager? 😉 Comment below and tell me, and wish Bethany a happy birthday! 🎉💕😄😄

Nothing To Hide- Season One Part Four

Posted on by Hope @AG Doll Dreams/A Spark Of Hope

FINALLY I HAVE QUIT PROCRASTINATING Y’ALL! Here it is, the long-awaited next part of my photoseries!!! *confetti* Also, you might notice that I HAVE A NEW DOLLHOUSE SETUP due to an urgent room-rearrangement. XD So HERE IT IS,

Mandy’s POV

Dear Sarah,

I am really happy with my new home. The mom of the house did decide to keep me! I was worried that she would be mad, but she welcomed me and even gave me a bunch of Bethany’s old toys! Bethany wasn’t too happy about that. Anyway, so I share a bed with her now, she’s really funny and crazy. Felicity sleeps on the floor on a pullout bed, and Chrissa and Raven sleep in the loft. Anyway, how are you? How is James? Don’t argue too much, will you? Have you seen Norman lately? Is he getting into any trouble at the orphanage? I miss you all.

Hugs,

Mandy Brinlie Flood ❤️

I pick up the postcard off of the floor, and quietly tuck it under my bed. I will mail it later when everyone else is up. I quickly slide back into bed and start to close my eyes when I see something

Chrissa isn’t in her bed! It’s 5:00 in the morning! Where could she be? I wondered. My curiosity got the best of me and I decided to investigate.

I pulled on my jacket, just in case Chrissa went outside.

As I rounded the corner, I stopped short at the sight of a figure sitting in the hallway.

It was Chrissa! I stood still, wondering what I should do, when I heard her talking.

“Ricky- Ok, ok! I know you don’t trust them, but I do! Yes, I do remember Chicago! Why do you keep saying that?” Chrissa’s voice grew louder and louder until she was shouting. “NO! I KNOW WHAT I’M DOING! What? NO! RIC-” She dropped the phone in defeat.

She closed her eyes and sighed. I thought I saw a tear trickle down her face, but I couldn’t tell because she opened her eyes- and saw me. When I tried to turn and run, I discovered that her shouting had aroused all the other dolls- and I crashed straight into Felicity.

“Oooph!” I groaned as we both came toppling down. I turned my head to steal a glance at Chrissa.

She stood to her feet, her eyes wide. “How-how much did you hear?” Her voice trembled with- what was it? Fear? What could Chrissa have to be afraid of?

DUN DUN DUN!!!! THIS IS GETTING INTERESTING MWAHAHAHAHA BUT THAT IS WHERE IT SHALL END FOR NOW!

HAVE A BLESSED DAY!!!!
