Possible volunteer editor @ urbanministries.org

I got an email from a staff member @ UrbanMinistries.org asking members and others to volunteer time to blog about Christian topics in our world. I sent in my application to dedicate 5 hours a month to blogging about Christians in the Graphic and Web design industry. Pray that it will be ok and accepted. This is something that I could really use to build up my writing/speaking skills as well as strengthen my faith and help others(which I love to do). God Bless and thanks for praying!

TheGdfc Magazine

I wrote this article on TheGdfc:

Want to be a part of our very first magazine? A Christian Design Magazine? Check out the hot topic on the forums and see if you want to be a part of an awesome opportunity.

As designers we stumble across many websites containing news and articles about the latest design trends, software, websites and more, but many of them aren’t Christian, and most contain more than we ask for. TheGdfc is journeying onto their newest project: Gdfc: A magazine for Christian web and graphic designers. A magazine that includes faith built messages and approaching the Graphic and Web industry at a Godly perspective.

The magazine articles will be featured througout the site, bust about 75% of the magazine will be in pdf format and available for download for free! That’s right FREE! No if’s, and’s, or but’s. A Christian pdf magazine about design, how about that!

Check out some of the topics suggestions and members views on this new project. If you aren’t a member, why not sign up? If you are, why not take part of this project? And if your just sitting in your seat saying, “Man this is going to be sweet!” Then spread the word brotha and sista!

We are dedicated to making the internet a better place for Christians and Christian designers alike. This is a new step and I encourage you to be apart of it.

Come check it out and become apart of it, if you want!

New Business Card Design

I wanted to just show you guys some updates on the new business card design I have been working on. The first personal one for me ever. It matches the exact design of the new look of the website. Also, it was made to be printed and not just for a design to add to my portfolio. Take a look:

Let me know what you guys think.

I am back and ready to get going again.

After only sending my computer out on Monday, I got it back today, fixed and all. I am ready to get back to work and do what I love to do best. Design and worship. Thankfully God has just been blessing me everyday since I have not been online. He taught me the meaning of being thankful. I am glad to have had my computer not working for two weeks, otherwise, I would have not been able to experience Him in that way. God Bless,

my new moto

1 Peter 2

1 Therefore, rid yourselves of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind. 2 Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation,

3 now that you have tasted that the Lord is good.

My moto in life. I just read that verse today for the first time and man it hit me hard. This is what I have been dealing with my whole entire life. God has been able to show His grace and mercy in and through my life, though I haven’t fulfilled any one bit of what He asks of me, and most of it is incredibly simple. My prayer is that you would take the time to read this verse and chapter to realize where you really are with God.

The root of my issue- pride and jealousy

I figured out today, why what happens happens. Since I moved I have become a very prideful and jealous person. Prideful in ways that I think I know all things and can handle situations better than others. The fact is I am in a place where things are done a lot differently. I live in Arkansas, but grew up in New Jersey. It’s a whole other world out here.

With the jealous part, I have been comparing my life to my friends and others around me. I tend to compare mostly my designs and web work with other web and graphic artists. This is one of the reasons my motivation and inspiration is shot, but today I made a commitment  to humble myself before the Lord and to others around me on and offline. Please keep this in your prayers. God Bless,

Adrian
