national day of prayer.

Hey, ya'll! It's the National Day of Prayer...which is kinda a relief. They--meaning the government--tryed to cancel it. But since they didn't get to fully review the case (or something like that) it's still on. So pray for people. Even if it's just in general, you could be influencing someone, somewhere. There's so many people in the world that need Jesus. And that's what my new song's about. It's not completely finished, but I think it's a good start. But that's up to the public, now isn't it?

Hug Them Tight

There's a little girl crying in her room tonight
Hoping everything will turn out right
Hoping that her family doesn't fall to pieces
There's a teenage boy with lots of dreams
But he's got cancer he's only eighteen
All they really need, all they really need is Jesus

Chorus
Everybody's going through something
I don't know what, but I know Who
Can give them peace and show them love
With Him them they'll never lose
Why can't they see they're not alone
His arms are open, streched out wide
Welcoming them in
Ready to hug them tight

There's a single mom who's on her own
She's trying to make a house a home
For her two kids who are only two and three
There's a daddy who doesn't make enough
Can't pay the bills and times are tough
All they really need, all they really need is Jesus

Chorus
Everybody's going through something
I don't know what, but I know Who
Can give them peace and show them love
With Him they'll never lose
Why can't they see they're not alone
His arms are open, stretched out wide
Welcoming them in
Ready to hug them tight

Bridge
God's right there, loving them
Can't they see it's all Him?
He's the answer, He's the key
He's the one holding you and me

You might going through something
I don't know what, but I know Who
Will give you peace and show you love
You're the one who gets the choose
Will you run into His arms
Or face your fears, leave Him behind
He's welcoming you in
Ready to hug you...tonight

Blessings && smiles,

!urgent prayer request!

Hey ya'll--sorry I haven't done a post in forever, but with school and everything, it's just hard to find time to blog. Glad ya'll understand! :) Anyway, back to the !urgent prayer request! Jonah, a guy who's like a little brother at me, is in the hospital due to a not-so-fun injury. He ran into his front door and instead of hitting the wooden part, he hit the glass. And his arms went right through it. So last night he had to have emergency surgey cuz the glass cut him all the way to the bone. Now his arms are in casts and he can't dance in our choir show at school. Which really stinks, seeing as he's the only guy that can actaully dance. But he should be able to sing his solo still. Yay!! He's singing "Baby" by Justin Bieber (I love that song!) and he sounds exactly him. So at least we'll get to cheer him on. But anyway, please pray. It's not the best situation to have both your arms in casts. Just think what a hard time people have with one arm wrapped up!

Thanks guys! Well, girls...

Praying for Jonah,
anna :)

i thought she was gone for good this time...

Nope, I'm still here! Well, kinda-sorta. I've been super-busy (I think I've mentioned that before??) And when I say super, I mean SUPER. My schedule is full, overflowing, utterly exhausting...you get the picture. And as I've also said before, I promise the teachers gang up on us. I three big projects due--all within the same week! A 5 page research paper, a science presentation, and a family tree. But anyway--back to the up-side of things. I like to stay positive, ya know?  I got out of school today for GT Vocal! Woo-hoo! Singing and dancing are really good escape when you're stressed out. So if you're stressing, grab your hairbrush and turn up your favorite song. Right now mine is "This Is Me" from Camp Rock. Okay, am I the only one who still watches Disney Channel? So what if I'm in middle school? Everybody laughs at me and says "You still watch Disney Channel? I haven't watched that since, like, 3rd grade." Well guess what? I happen to love The Suite Life of Zack and Cody. But then again, nothing can beat out my all-time favorite--Saved by the Bell.

Well, that's pretty much it. Oh...other than high school is right around the corner. That's a whole 'nother story...

Blessings && smiles,
anna :)

we are the world.

I love the music video. Period. When something like this happens, we need to come together. We're all God's children, we all need love. And that's all that matters.

check it out :)

Hey girls! I have the first ever blog-merical, made especially for you by my best friends (in real life!), Lily and Alexandria. So...here they are! Enjoy!
