From Anna...

This is from my friend's last journal entry before she was killed in a road accident this week:

"I have a strong dream. I dream of having a band, a youth Christian band. I'll play guitar and sing. Lots of people will come and maybe some will even become Christians.

Everyone seems to find it so easy to form a band but i have no one to start one with.

I can picture myself on stage singing God's word.

I believe God has given me a gift with music. I teach myself guitar but i think i need some lessons. I'll get some from a friend (James or Jim).

I pray to God sometime soon He'll bring along someone to start a band with and when i say this it brings tears to my eyes, but it's just a band i'm talking about but it means a lot more to me, maybe God has a plan to use me in this band.

When i listen to music i feel God's presence, especially with loud drums, they sound like the gates of heaven opening. And if i want to write a letter to someone, i just listen to music and the words come, it's like God's giving me them.

I believe Jesus has given me this dream, goal or longing for a reason, i just can't wait until it happens.

You know what i thought! I think i'd love to go to poor places where the homeless are and play our music (band) there and give them what they need; love, kindness, fun and care. And i want to call our band "WAKE UP"!

I'll tell you a secret, Bethany, Angie and i call ourselves the "U.C.K's" guess what that means? We have never told anyone except that i told Miriam. At first it was "Un Cool Kids" But come on, I decided i hated that 'cos God don't make uncool kids, so i changed it to "UNIQUE. CHRISTIAN. KIDS".

So when i'm in heaven, whoever reads this ask yourself the simple question, "Am i a U.C.K?".
