Exercise: In 400 words or less, describe a moment in your life when
you've experienced faith.

-------------------------

Faith is complete trust or confidence in someone or something, a
strongly held belief or theory.

People have faith in different things, whether it be a person, God,
love, a philosophy, money, intellect, science. Or yourself. Faith helps
us through the rough times and gives life meaning and purpose.

We may not all have faith in the same thing, but we all have faith in
something. Look back to a time in your life when you have experienced or
benefited from faith.

It could be something that shows faith in action, an incident that
demonstrates true faith, or an example of how faith helped you.

Remember what you experienced and how you felt. Then write your
submission, making it a retelling of a true event.

Critiquing: Does the writing flow well? Can you "see" the moment
being described? Are you an observer, or does the writing pull you in to the
experience?
