Almost exactly 5 years ago(October 13th will be the anniversary), I was a car wreck that nearly killed me and one of my best friends. My friend was in a coma for 3 months afterward and is still physically handicapped. He never gave up though, and has come much farther than any of the doctors believed possible. I lost about 85% of my memory, most of which still hasn't returned. I also had a lot of physical injuries. Some of them followed me for 3 or so years, some of them still effect me.
I was already a Christian at the time, but God used that event to change and shape my life. He's brought me a long way over the past 5 years.
In memory of that event and to show how far God has brought me in the time since, I plan to open an online store to sell Christian themed t-shirts. Through High School, I was always the guy who had a t-shirt with a funny saying on it, but only a couple of them had a Christian message on them. Now, I'll still be the guy with the t-shirts, but I'll be using them to spread God's Word(guess it just goes to show that God can use any area of your life). I plan to have my first shirts for sale on October 13th. At that time, I won't be completely set up though, so I'll probably only have one design for sale(it's a design I made using one of my dad's ideas, so that is special to me too and I thought it fitting since he played such a big role in my recovery).
I wasn't far into the planning stages of all this, when God dropped a bigger plan in my lap. First, I was the guy wearing the shirts. Now I'll be the guy designing and selling the shirts. The third step in this plan is to be the guy printing the shirts. I plan to open a screen printing shop. With that, I will be able to supply my online store, and also print shirts for others. I would like my primary customers to be churches, youth groups, Christian charities, fundraisers for things like mission trips, and Christian musicians/music groups.
