52 Card Pickup

52 weeks of of laundry, of distress, of celebrating, of wondering, of indecision, of wanting to do more, of not knowing what to do, of resting, of promoting, of carpool, of homework, of planning, of preparing, of praying, of making decisions, of choosing, or cheering on and cheering up, of weeping and mourning, of praising and worship...  
That is why I created 52 Card Pickup.
As women, daughters, sisters, neighbors, friends, moms,  at one point or another, we seem to have so much going on that we forget to stop, even a second..unless we drop and by that point, things might be unwinding, unraveling and unruly..  
That is why I created 52 Card Pickup.
When I need to quick "pick-me-up" quote or verse  to remind myself, or to remind another..
That is why I created 52 Card Pickup.
When I want to take a little time to create something but I don't have alot of time..
That is why I created 52 Card Pickup.
52 hand-created cards of encouragement to reflect on, to look at, to share, to use as support and as reminders for ourselves and for others..
That is why I created 52 Card Pickup.

Whether you create one card a month, one card a week or all year long, the important thing is that you stop and take time to create C.A.R.D.S:

Create something based on what is on your mind, in your heart and in your prayers.

Add quotes or verses that apply to your thoughts and prayers.

Reflect and remember WHY you are creating & WHAT you are creating.

Decide to make "that choice" "a change" or say a prayer for what your card represents.

Share it with others...and then keep on going.  

 

Why?

It is our job to be faithful, trustful, creative influencers, not only for God, our families, our friends and neighbors, but for ourselves.  
We cannot forget about ourselves and we cannot forget to take a little time to do what we love.
