About Me

My photo
I'm Anna. I'm not like anyone else I know. I sing, I dance. I fall down and I get up again. I love to love, and I love to laugh. I've cried before and I'll cry again, but the sun keeps coming back out. I love Jesus, He saved me when I didn't have a place or a friend in the world. Enjoy my blog, I've written it just for you. Always, Anna

Crazy, beautiful life.

Oh blog, I've neglected you so. Accept my apology?
Thank you!


So, I'll fill you in. Briefly, because I have school tomorrow (sigh.)
There are some things going on in my life at the moment that I am not too happy anout. Some of those things I have no control over. Actually..I don't have much control over any of them.

First, my friends and I don't really talk about everything like we used to. I think it's because our "everything's" grew. We all have so much going on, so we're not paying so much attention to each other. Maybe thats what's supposed to happen when people get older. I wouldn't really know, since I've never been this old before.

Speaking of old..
My parents are on my case about my choice in guys. Apparently, the ones I pick aren't good enough. They're too old, their hair is too long, they don't have the right goals for the future.
At this rate, they won't be satisfied until they're arranging my marriage.

Bahhhh. *smashes head into pillow*


But I have to get up in..seven hours.
So goodbye for now. I'll try to be back soon.

Love,
Anna

Tragedy.

My history teacher, who was supposed to get married in three months, lost her fiance last night. They got into an arguement, he took back his ring. He drove home, called her, and shot himself while still on the phone with her.

She called 911, but it was too late. He had been on antidepressants since he got back from Iraq.
Her life is gone. Her plans? Gone. All the things she was banking on have dissapeared within one night.

It makes me think. These things, these tragedies. These impossible catastrophies..they happen. And people are expected to live the next day just like they'd lived the one before. Sometimes I wonder if it's worth it, to build up relationships when there is no certainty at all of them lasting.

Then I think some more. And if not for relationships..with people, with God, then what's the point entirely? There is no point. Life in all its entirety is worthless if not for relationships built in its span. To be alone would be t that he worst thing in the world.
I'm sure my teacher feels alone. But she isn't. There are people that love her, that are holding her hand. And there's the silver lining in the darkness of life.

Friends. The hopes that God gives us for another day. When life screws you, friends pick you up off of the ground, and tell you you can keep going. So you do. They don't give you a choice.
