I was supposed to blog about a different speak love topic today, but when I returned home from speaking at Brentwood High School’s FCA this morning, a video clip came across my internet. I had seen some friends talking about this Malala Yousafzai girl over the last few days, but to be honest, I just
A few weeks ago, I went to Austin with about seventy other Christian women and we discussed leadership and unity and fears and ministry and nail polish and football and food and drink and I swam in an infinity pool. I want to tell you all about it but I’m not sure I’m ever going
I have great parents. I hope I tell them that enough. There are about six years of teen angst that I’m still making up for in my words towards them, so if you are keeping score- yeah, I’m behind. Teens and children are very self-focused [in general] and the idea that what they say has
Every Monday of October, I want to share with you a song that speaks directly about the power of words. Brave by Sara Bareilles is absolutely the first one that came to mind. Not only does she encourage us to say the things we need to say, but to do it even when it isn’t

I don’t have one best friend. I have a few people to whom I give that label, whether they like it or not. I won’t list them. That would be awkward. But I am so grateful for my best friends. I’m sure you are too. Can you think of one, two, or five people in
I bet a lot of you are bloggers. I bet more of you are on twitter and instagram. I bet you are on the internet because hi, my name is Annie and you are reading my blog on the internet. 🙂 . . . . . A lie that a lot of bloggers believe is,
