Pasta for carbohydrates obviously. They are the major fuel for your body that keeps you moving throughout the day. The black beans serve as both a vegetable, and a protein. They fill you up and are super healthy. The fruit salad might be cheating since it is composed of several kinds of fruit. But, the fruit is a sweet snack, and is also healthy. Blueberries have antioxidants, bananas have potassium, oranges have vitamin C, and grapes have sugar that is always a good treat.

The Camp is a Christian haven for children to discover their relationship with Christ. Each camper is assigned a cabin with nine other campers and one counselor. When I was 13 I attended this camp and truly committed my life to Christ. The entire atmosphere is filled with His grace. The joy of the campers and the staff is undeniable. Anyone who spends even a day there is transformed. The love that is shared is unforgettable. His presence speaks through the staff that shines the light of the Lord onto the campers. As a camper I could see how they were living their life only for Him. One of the counselors has a major brain malfunction that may be cancer. She told me that if God can use her having a brain tumor to show His love for the world, then she’s all for it. Camp Geneva is the most beautiful place I have seen.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA - JUNE 09: A used car with ...

If I won the lottery tomorrow, I would first buy myself a new used car (only like $8000) and I would put the rest away into savings for my future with a husband and family. I would continue my life in school and later look for a good starting job, hopefully meeting a wonderful man to marry and have a family together. The money saved away would be used toward a home we can all live together in, and some to start college funds for the kids. It would be a life line that we could use to back up our family. not entirely to depend on, but to have for help when we need it.

We would share the worst first, which was always hard to come up with, and then our best parts, which usually consisted of doing well on a test or quiz, making a new friend, or having an upcoming school field trip. Then we would ask them their best and worst part. the only thing I really can remember about what they said was that the best part of their day was being able to sit down as a family and be with us. I will carry on this tradition to my family when I have one. it is a bonding experience that everyone can look forward to at dinnertime.

My new husband and I would cruise the Caribbean, relaxing and and enjoying having nothing to do. We would also backpack through Europe, experiencing the cultures of Spain, Italy, France, Croatia, Ireland, England, Scottland, and other countries we stumble into. I would also love to visit Africa, and do some service there to young kids and their families. In Asia we would visit the Great Wall in China, the Taj Mahal in India, and maybe visit Japan. We would stop in New Zeland and Fiji to relax for a while. In Australia we would hike and visit the opera house in Sydney. On our way home I’d like to stop in Hawaii and perhaps Alaska.

Throughout my childhood I have disciplined myself to work hard at school, even if it meant giving up other things. I was determined to get all A’s, and even though there were a few A-‘s and a B+, I am proud of how hard I tried and that I gave it my 100% effort. Not only am I devoted to schoolwork, I make time to serve others. I volunteer at local nursing homes playing bingo and painting nails for the residents. I also have formed a great group of friends that I love to spend time with. Surrounding yourself with good people has a positive influence on your own self.

If I had to live underwater for two years I would be a sea turtle. Sea turtles are protected by their shells and can swim without the constant threat of being attacked by the many creatures that lurk the ocean waters, like sharks. Sea turtles can travel in currents like in the movie, “Finding Nemo.” I think being a sea turtle would be enjoyable and carefree. Baby sea turtles are so cute! If I were a mom sea turtle I would lay my eggs on the beach and all the tiny little babies would hatch and join me in the ocean.

But there is only one way to get there and that is by devoting your life to the lord Jesus Christ. He died on the cross so that our sins were forgiven. Our sins are forgiven over and over and over and over again. No matter how many times we mess up, as long as we keep trying to stop, and as long as we ask for forgiveness, we are welcomed back to the Lord. He loves us all and heaven is where we can all come together to give glory to God in our eternal life after our short life here on earth.

Oysters from the outside do not look that beautiful, in my opinion, but I believe it is so special that inside they can produce a beautiful pearl. I believe that although I am not always the most beautiful woman on the planet, there is one man who does think I am beautiful and am capable of producing beauty – my boyfriend. Inside of those soft oyster tissue, it harvests pearls for our use and for our enjoyment. It would be a pleasure to have that capability to make something so beautiful.

My idea of heaven is very easy to determine simply because I am a follower of Jesus. I know that when I die with 100 percent certainty that I am blessed to spend eternity with Him. In heaven, I will be surrounded by all the other followers of Jesus, and we will worship God for eternity. I will get to see those who have passed away before me, and I will be reconciled with them after how ever many years since they died. We will all be given new bodies, and it will be glorious because our bodies are so broken on earth.
