Annie, you really don’t know me, but I heard you at church about 4 years ago, and have been watching you on Facebook.  You are a very strong inspiring woman.  I’m going through a lot these past 3 months.  I went to bed healthy and woke up to emergency surgery, and now heart failure!  I feel very alone.  I just heard you sing: “You’ve Got A Friend” and that lifted my heart.  Thank you for being you.  God bless you Annie.

Dear Annie, You are amazing and I hope you know that. My name is Jessica. I don’t expect you to remember any of this, but I’ll never forget it! I first heard you sing at a show at Grace Chapel in Lexington, Massachusetts in 2000, with my mother and my nana. I was about to turn six. I fell in love with your music, and approached you after the concert (very thin, very quiet little girl with curly hair) to tell you how good you were. You talked to me just like you did to any other woman there, and when I told you that I had made my decision to turn to the Lord that night, I saw a light go on in your eyes as you handed me your latest tape ……Your song Courage helped me deal with some things and to trust God through some very difficult times, it was hard, but your music is a refuge; a source of comfort and inspiration. You are a perfect example – she who sings really does pray twice. God worked in me. God loves you, and He works through you everyday.
