All of my life I have struggled with self image. I was never small enough, never pretty enough, and I believed people were never going to be able to look past that. Because of this internal turmoil, I developed a very interesting relationship with food. I love food. I love the artistry that goes into making a wonderful meal. I like the community that happens around the table. I like that food can make me really happy. But that coin is two sided. I binge eat. A lot.  I look for the endorphins ice cream can give me instead of trusting Jesus with my emotions. Food controls a big part of my life. And that's wrong. I have taken a good gift from God and twisted it. I recognize that my unhealthy relationship with food is an arrow pointing at my distrust in the Lord. I desperately need to control something, and the easiest way to do that is food.
This is a song about that battle. Because everyday I fail to live up to the standard that God has called me to. I fail to surrender my spirit, emotions, and body to the Lord. The golden apples this song talks about aren't just physical food. It is the sin that I choose to fill my life with instead of chasing after the Lord. This isn't a song about winning the war. This is a song about being in the trenches, where life is messy. Where things happen that we don't want to talk about. But the good news is that the battle isn't mine to win, and Jesus already has the victory.

Song for the Husband I Don't Have Yet-Live

Anna is an indie folk singer/songwriter based out of Dallas, TX. Her upbringing in the wide, empty desert of far west Texas brings a unique perspective and openness to her lyrics, while her love of the bustle and busyness of her city makes itself known in her instantly singable pop-influenced melodies. A self described "chronic optimist," Anna finds the magnificent in the mundane, and showcases that in her music.
"All around us are things that deserved to be noticed. Trees, a sidewalk, and most importantly, people. I want to tell the overlooked stories that make up the fabric of who we are."
Described as "eclectic indie pop/rock" her music transcends genres to offer something that she hopes everyone can relate to.
