My Testimony: (We encourage members to share briefly about how their faith in Christ has impacted their lives.)
I was born into a Christian laterigical Evangelical family, eventually I became shyer about being expressive about my faith around my family because I didn't want to use God as a tool to win praise like I did when I was younger. My teenage years, like most, was very rough- I struggled w/ depression, anger, PTSD, insecurity, and at the worst: anxiety. At 17 God started to become a serous focus in my life again, but I pursued Him selfishly-- I became very frustrated & hopeless when He didn't materialize His Holy Spirit obviously for my emotional taking. It became painful to pray to Him b/c I'd feel so let down from the experience. After my uncle gave me a book, A Purpose Driven Life, it changed my viewpoint & I realized the error of my ways that I should of been serving Him not trying to take from Him. I was born w/ Dyslexia & Dyscalculia (math dyslexia) and struggled in school, eventually I was taken out of school in the 7th grade after flunking Algebra to be home-schooled. I've excelled in creative writing as well as visual artistic pursuits such as the fine arts. With the dyslexia problems & spending time being homeschooled I've been in an identity crisis w/ what I should do for a career (or as a mission) since age 16. But I've been more recently moved towards that I need to figure out how God wants me to honor Him with the talents He's given me. I wish my Testimony was more powerfully inspirational, but I'm still in a very confused place spiritually & mentally. I feel there is still much wool over my eyes spiritually and cannot identify God's Hand in my life the way I should. I know everything will be revealed eventually, but I'm still pretty early in my spiritual life.
Dream Job: (If you could have your dream job in the comics industry, what would it be?)

Hi ya, I know you like Christian comics so I know you'll love The Word for WORD Bible Comic, (Unabridged, historically accurate graphic novel of the Bible with a high view of scripture. For ages 15+)
To complete the first book I need your help, as I am raising funds on Kickstarter. My passion is to get God's Word in full into the hands of young believer and unbelievers and comic lovers of all ages, in the hope they will come to really know God. Please check it out at the KS page, it's going well but I still need lots of backers so I hope as a CCAS member you'll please pledge to support this project...

Ma'am, I forgot to tell you, we homeschool our 3 kids. It is the wave of the future! 4-5% of all children in the US are now homeschooled, and growing more and more every year! You were very lucky. God Bless. Rich Collins
Ma'am, hello there. I went to your site. Pretty good! If you want a little art commission, please draw me a 'Raegan and RJ in Space!' picture or sketch, e-mail it to me at ranger5xrmc@aol.com and I will purchase it and send you $30. Go to my web site for ideas. You can do pencil, computer, whatever. My web site is http://www.raeganandrjinspace.com where my Christian space story is. It is a story about some Christians who colonize other stars with no violence, guns, or battles. It is just about friends, faith, family, and freedom. When you send me your art I will post it in the 'amazing art' section with your name on it for kids all over the world to enjoy. I will also put the link to your web site to get you some more traffic. While you are at my site, you can download a free graphic novel and video game I have for the kids. Okay hope you can do the sketch for the kids. God Bless. Rich Collins
Welcome to CCAS, Christine! It's good to have you here! If you have any questions about CCAS or ALPHA-OMEGA, just let me know! God bless.
All best wishes in welcome to CCAS! The most worthy cause demands our best talents.
Hello Christine, welcome to the CCAS! I don't mean to speak out of turn, but I was talking to the artist that I work with (I am a very amateur writer wannabee) and it turned out we are both disabled and we talked and while it's very frustrating at times, we realized neither one of us would likely be trying to make home made self published books if this hadn't happened to us.Though God didn't wish for us to suffer, He can use even this for the good, as the Bible says. I don't wish for a second to make light of the trials you are going through, but I believe God can make a way through, and will pray now that He does so for you according to His wonderful promises.
