-Her Story

Wooosh! This is my first ever design. Can't believe it. I never knew that I would actually even think of designing. You know what.. When Eunice first announced that there's this DI badge designing competition thingy, I was so not interested in it. Never have I thought of designing a badge. At the back of my mind I was thinking: Haiya.. Let those who can really design do the job.
And.. What am I doing now sia!!! PS: this post is suppose to be so Singlish. Taaaahha.
Anyway.. What I really want to say is that.. Many times we might really think that things are beyond our ability. But when the inspiration strikes, trust me.. Things will turn around and make a 180 degree change! Awesome. But right.. Now there's another problem.. For this badge designing competition thingy right.. I've to submit it in Photoshop format!!! Sianz sia!! Haiz.. Think I shall try it out on Photoshop some other day bah.. Let me get through my POM and Law test first >_<
Anyway.. The inspiration of this design all started out with my reflection journal for last Saturday's DI sermon (It's up on DI blog already! http://di-perspectives.blogspot.com). Initially while I was writing it, I was also thinking.. Huh? Reflection ar.. Sianz.. Don't know what to write..
But as I was thinking of what to write, I asked for our Father to speak to me and just simply use me. Then I started writing about our first love with Him, rededicating out lives to Him once more and stuff like that.. Then suddenly something just brought me the thought of designing the DI badge. Is just like a call, calling me to do the impossible!
So I possibly did the impossible, which is to complete the reflection journal. Then after that I went on to search for inspiration to design this DI badge. And it started off with "First Love". So I knew I'll design something with a heart. But just a heart itself is kind of plain and meaningless.
Then I went on searching for more inspiration by listening to songs and stuff. And it just suddenly struck me to listen to DI originated songs. And funny thing is other than the song "Our God is Love" that is written by Eugene, all the other DI originated songs are by Andy. Taaahaha. Oh! Why DI originated songs? Cause it's a DI Originated badge. Haha.
Anyway.. So I went to listen to those songs. When I was listening to Author of Life, there's this sentence, "Writing His story in mine" caught hold of my attention. So I decided to design something like a book kinda thing.. Guess what's the next question..
How do I combine a book together with a heart?! Taaahaha!! So initially I wanted to draw a book and a heart on the left page of the book and kinda stuff.. If you get what I was talking about..
However as I was drawing the book.. I think is partially cause of my lousy drawing, it actually turned out to be like a heart!! Taaahahaha!!! Then the sudden 'TING!' rang in my head and I was like... RIGHT!!! AWESOME. Haha.
Next! Since it's "Writing" so there should be a pen/pencil. I choose pencil cause it feels more... Hmm.. Easy to draw is one thing.. Taaaahaha!! But pencil is like.. It feels more personal. Pen will feel more mature kind of thingy and it makes me feel very distant. So yepz! I choose pencil.
Lastly.. I was thinking.. If a DI badge is without the word DI or Destiny Impact,it wouldn't be a DI badge anymore. Then here comes the last question.. Where should I place the word Destiny Impact & how am I gonna do that? So I decided to write it as the border. but if it's just Destiny.Impact, it will be very weird. And that's where God Chaser, Heart Joiner & Light Giver comes in!
Then.. Taaaada!! This is my DI badge design. Honestly, it sounded as if I took the whole day designing it. but the fact is.. I took less than an hour. What I really want to say is that.. Not to boast about my designing ability but to tell everyone out there who are reading this post.. Don't give up before trying. Ask for inspiration. And if He really have a desire for you to do something, He'll give you the inspiration you need.
Honestly to me, it doesn't matter if my design is chosen to be the official DI badge design or not. What matters the most to me is that our Father have proven to me that what I used to think that was the impossible was made possible cause I trusted in Him.
I want you to believe: If you're willing to place your trust in Him, time will reveal that He is a living God and He'll use you, in His very own special & unique ways =]
