Hey everyone!
I guess this is a prayer/praise... thread. But mostly for prayer... haha!
Recently I took on a few free-lance illustrating jobs. I've illustrated a 12 page coloring book for a Kansas Pro-life group, and its currently being tested...(meaning the people who will be using it are giving it to kids who will color it and see what they think!) I didn't write the story that goes with it, but it has a wonderful message! Pray that they will be touched by it, and I'll receive helpful tips! (AKA: if it needs work, how I can make it even better.
With the same author, I will be turning the 12 page coloring into a full 32 page childrens' picture book. @_@ LOTS to add to the story, image-wise...
Also, I have another opportunity, to work with a different client, and that is illustrating a 18 pages of a poem.
These are a LOT to do for me, I'm grateful for God giving me these jobs, because a few weeks ago I said "God, USE me. " And all of a sudden, all these opportunities fell in my lap.
I know they are from Him. Its just way to coincidental to be otherwise... But pray that I don't get too distracted. I'm doing these books for HIM and for no one else... they both have positive messages...and I believe hearts will be touched if I let God use me.
Also, over spring break I'm going on my FIRST mission trip ever. (yah, I know, I'm 21, I should have been on one already. ) We are going to a Navajo reservation in New Mexico to reach out to the kids there, and put on some sports camps.
Now, I'm excited about this trip, however we are going to be putting on Sports camps during the entire week! Hahaaa I'm not the most athletic person, (although I have been working out!) so just pray that all that goes smoothly.
Travel mercy prayers would be great too!
Also, I am also the illustrator for the campus paper, and that keeps me hoppin as well...
and I miss working on Stick Monkey So pray that I will be able to continue the comic soooon!
Sorry if these are selfish prayers, but i sure do appreciate them!
