Today I spent nearly the entire day designing business cards, greeting cards, invite cards, postcards...(you think I'm exaggerating for emphasis, but I'm so not) - for my home church. It was something I've needed to do for a long time for sure. In fact, this weekend I think I'll spend a lot of time with our Pastor's oldest son, redesigning our web presence, which is in need of a LOT of help.
As I began to trudge through all these different "cards" that I needed to punch out today, I felt myself dragging, being uninspired. However, all it takes is that one minute, that one image that gives you inspiration and you're on the go. I found myself clicking faster as thoughts raced through my head of how many times I was at the grocery store and ran into someone that I'd love to invite to our church. Don't misunderstand me, I still do invite them to our church, but these days, you've got to have something to put in their hands. As I finished up the invite card that we'll be using...just a business card size, very handy, I felt myself getting excited that I could pull that out of my purse and hand it to someone who, hopefully would be drawn to it and to our church, because of the time I put into it.
That is why I decided to title this entry as I did, because it hit me once again that what I do is not just art...it's lives.
