First Time

I've been making a living at graphic design for a few years now. I've been really blessed to have an awesome job that I LOVE. What could be better?? Most of the time i feel like I'm getting paid to play! Design is so much fun....

But more than that, I've been blessed to never have to look for work. I've almost always been self-employed. I did have to go out and market myself when i taught Music for Young Children (ads, flyers, etc) But for my design work, I've never sent out resumes, and never offered my services. Jobs and contracts have always just come to me. I've never even considered looking for more work.

This week for the first time, I felt like I was supposed to actually put together a resume and send it to a company...offering my services in graphic design. I had seen the company online, and thought "I think I could help them..." It was weird...but I just felt the Lord say "do it". So I did. I made up a PDF of some samples, and typed up an email and hit send.

To my total shock, I got a response from the email in just a couple hours. I spoke to the company, and they want to use me for a project or two! I really seemed to hit it off with the owner, and I'm praying that I can move into a steady work relationship with them in the future.

God is Good!
