Hi, I'm Anna and I've been alive for 16 years now. My name means "one of grace", which pretty much contradicts itself, because I'm the farthest thing from. My mom says it's proof that God has a sense of humor. I say she's right. My birthday's the day before Halloween, which means two things. One of them being I eat more candy than cake and the other being I always regret it. I generally love any kind of green candy, minus Warheads. Green candy, cinnamon Poptarts, Oreos, and Ritz crackers sum up my favorite junk foods, which are the only ones that really matter if you ask me. I also love rain and stars, which fall under the magical category. Blue eyes and acoustic songs are found there too, along with laughter and wardrobes. I'm still hoping to stumble upon the one that leads to Narnia, where I'll stand at the lamppost and find Mr. Tumnus trotting along, umbrella in hand and a smile on his face.
Some people tell me I'm creative, but I think I'm just restless. I have ADD and can't sit still for anything. So I release my energy through writing on my wall. My chalkboard wall, that is. I also write lyrics on everything. My notebooks, my binders, my notes in world civ -- you get the picture. The other half of that unused energy goes into writing letters. Mainly to Kathryn, Katie, and Hayley, all who I love dearly. Finding a letter in the mailbox addressed to you is one of the best feelings in the world. I think it's called giddy. Oh. My excess energy goes in to singing, too. Or rapping. Pandora is my favorite, but if I'm pickin'-n-choosin', the artists who inspire me the most are Brandon Heath, Lecrae, Relient K, Hawk Nelson, and Tenth Avenue North. Brandon Heath for his genuine love for God and people. Lecrae for his passion and determination and crazy rhymes. Relient K for their wittiness and putting my heart on paper. Hawk Nelson for their bluntness and the way they can make anything acoustic. Tenth Avenue North for their constant worship.
Food, music, restlessness. That's all me. But the biggest part of me is a guy named Jesus. Maybe you've heard of Him, maybe you haven't. He's my everything.
Jesus is the best friend I'll ever have. He sprinkled the stars over the sky, paints sunsets just so I can stare at them. He gives power to the wind and sends me flowers every spring. He wrote me a 66-book love letter. He died for me. He treasured my life over His own. The Creator of everything, the Answer to every problem, Aslan of Narnia, loves me more than He loves himself. That's real love. And I'm learning to love like that -- all while writing letters and eating green Sour Patch Kids, Lecrae playing in the background. My future -- the rest of my story -- consists of blank pages.. but it's only 'cause God writes in invisible ink.
loveforever,
anna :)
