When I was 11, I went through some really difficult family stuff and though I never stopped believing in God (I'm a Christian for those who don't know), I was questioning Him a lot. That summer, when I was 12, was my first summer at church camp. I remember the one day I was walking to Vespers (the place in the middle of the woods where we have evening worship each day) and it was hot and humid. Ask Mayleene if you don't believe me about how miserable Ohio can be when hot and humid. Anyway it was during free time and I was walking down there to pray and think. The path way is literally in the middle of dense woods and there is no breeze. When you are half way there, you can't even see the entrance or Vespers or the sky because the trees and brush are so thick. So I was walking and sweating and praying. Finally I said "Okay God, just send me some breeze please" and a gush of wind came down the path that was so strong I nearly fell over.
I have experienced God moving through my life directly and indirectly since, but I'll never forget the power of that wind. It was the most amazing experience of my life and I'm pretty sure will remain the most memorable day of my life.
Describe something you believe in.

With the risk sounding like a hippie - i truly believe in love.
There is an enormous story behind that, it suffices to say that instead of complete loneliness, there suddenly was warmth and light.
Describe the one thing you want, but can't have.

I love that description, pinkie. To be a bit less theological for a moment... I want to be taller. I'm not really short (about 5'2" or 5'3") but I am short enough that I can't reach the top of my book shelves, the top cabinets, the top of the refrigerator, the showerhead to adjust it, or really anything. I also hate stepstools because they make me feel old and decrepit, so I end up climbing a lot. lol If you knew my size you would find that funny as well. Describe what you would pick for your last meal.
