God gave us this life for a reason...So I have a few questions:

1. What do you want to accomplish in this life?

2. What do you like best about it?

For me, I want to be the greatest witness for Christ that I can be. I want to lead peopel to Christ, and hopefully do it with my drawings!

What I love best about this life is being with my Friends and family. I love the talent that God has given me, and the creative/random mind. I am so Glad to be alive!

So what about you?

I sooo agree with you.

I will be happy in heaven. But that does not mean I do not love my life!
My dad was always talking about heaven and how much better it is then earth.
He did not like living his life. And I’m not sure why.

I don’t want to be like that.

I want God to know how much I love him and my life.

I do get depressed now and then, but I don’t wish I was dead.

Mostly all I want is to.
1 Get married to Jeremy.
2 Have three babies.
3 Draw.
4 Make God and my Mom proud.
5 Sing along with the radio when I’m driving alone.

But not all in that order. ;)

Ooooh, lets see:

1. What do you want to accomplish in this life?


1.) I want to rock out with my band, Knife Point (or whatever name we finally decide to stick with) christian style (e.g uber-kick-butt-party style :D)
2.) I want to reach out to people who wouldn't normally give christian music a chance.
3.) I want to give miyavi and manson a run for their money.
4.) I want to get married (eventually).
5.) I want to look back when I'm old and think 'Well, I've done everything I wanted to do - no regrets.'

2. What do you like best about it?


1.) My friends.
2.) Church
3.) Everything cool about being a christian
4.) Rocking out!
Take me

1. What do you want to accomplish in this life?

I want to love God and obey Him first of all and use everything He's given me for His glory.

I also want to do art and music for His glory and get a degree and a job to support foreign missions -- or become a missionary myself.

2. What do you like best about it?

I like the fact that even the BEST things in this life won't compare to when we get to be with Jesus.

Also, it's awesome that we can even enjoy being here. Some people don't even allow themselves to enjoy life.

I guess I'll post here, because these types of questions do say a lot about a person (when answered seriously) and one of the purposes of forums like these is to build community.

1. I would like to be a writer capable of pitching an idea to a company and being able to do it more or less as I originally envisioned it. Fame isn't important to me, but I do want to be well known enough in the publishing circles to write as I want, not purely as is necessary to get in print. Related to this, I want to write in a broad variety of genres and avoid becoming classified as a one-note author.

In all of this I would like to be able to reach both Christian and non-Christian audiences with works both religious and secular. I would like for atheists to be able to read my work and have respect for it, even if they don't agree with my worldview at all. Above all, I would like to be able to write stories that stretch my readers.

2. Hm, I'm having a much more difficult time answering this one. That definitely says something about me. What do I like best about this life? My feelings on this probably mirror the Buddhist practice of mindfulness more than specific events.

After reflection, I suppose I would have to say the sheer scope of it all. To know I am composed of cells, molecules, quarks; to know that our planet is an infintesimally small piece of matter compared to our sun, which is one of billions in our galaxy, which itself is but one light in the visible universe, all of which pales in comparison to the vacuum. It puts things in perspective.

i normally dont do these kinda things, but i feel as if people dont know me here(especially for as long as ive been a regular) as much as id like ;)

1. I want to graduate college (hopefully with straight a's), with my degree in Graphic and Interactive Communication and a minor in Photography and Digital Imaging at my school (Ringling School of Art and Design). I would like to get a job to start paying off my student loans. I would also like to start a family with the girl of my dreams. i would love to work for a christian magazine or design firm. i want to have an impact on graphic design, but not necesarialy fame. i would rather people love what i do, but not know it was me...

2. i love my family and friends in my life. definatly my church, and all of my christian music! and the hope that my lord and savior has given me :)

Hmm, this seems interesting. My thoughts on the subject:

1) "What do you want to accomplish in this life?" Generally, I want to serve God and do His will, no matter what His will is. That may end up changing my other plans, but that is what I want to do first and foremost. I would like to be able to work as an engineer and use my skills to help others (likely by helping design and deploy power plants) and to witness to those around me through my actions and words. I would love to raise a family someday and help out in my community wherever I end up.

2) "What do you like best about it?" That changes from day to day as I am constantly impressed by how much of a gift life is. I greatly enjoy nature and the weather (all types of weather help remind me of how amazing God is), I like getting to know people and talking to people, and I am awed by God's majesty in the intricate and amazing design of the world. I also really enjoy children, and while I don't see many at college they are a constant source of wonder and joy when I do see them (even when they are in their brattiest moods). When I stop and think about it, life is something I feel immensely blessed to have and I hope to use it as best I can.

Sorry about rambling, but I figured I might as well answer as best I could.

1. I want to talk to my parents to become a Christian. First my dad.
2. Draw some kind of anime that brings many people to Christ. Just like how Narnia is a parallel of the Bible. That would be awesome.

If I can the first one done, then I will die happy knowing I made God happy.


What I like best about this life is that I have a talent. Writing and art. I am also happy I have a great family.

1. What do you want to accomplish in this life?
God's Will for my life. As I have discerned so far, it involves overseas work and bringing as many people as possible to Christ. This will also include helping people grow (including myself; even though I will never be perfect, I will keep trying just as God commanded).

2. What do you like best about it?
God. Jesus is my passion for living. Without Him I would be nothing.

Here is my list...

1. Keep loyal to God, friends, and family
2. Live out my lactose intolerancy (I've always wanted to eat cheese)
3. Stay a bachelor until age thirty-three
4. Write a book
5. Visit Egypt and Israel
6. Pray at Jerusalem.
7. See if it is possible to obtain a copy of the original Torah/Bible.
8. Build a Christian Church (Always and forever.)
...I stand by what I said/wrote/typed.

The best about life is knowing that I have learned the ways of God, and have been brought into his service.

I want live every day for God's purpose, whatever it is. I want to get really good at sculpting, and glorify God with my talents. I'd like to travel the world, or at least parts of it. I want to bless my husband, friends, family, and strangers.

2. What do you like best about it?

I love the amazing variety and diversity in God's creation. I love that there is so much to learn, that I will never learn all of it. I love that, when this life is over, there are even more glorious things to look forward to in the next one.
