Go on dream, dream, dream ...


Shutter Sisters Dream Assignment: Picture Hope from LittlePurpleCow Productions on Vimeo.

My apologies for this the first part is mainly a repost from my own blog but the second bit is for WIM. Hat tip to Maggi Dawn for pointing to this project by Shutter Sisters called Picutre Hope. I really like the idea of getting photographers to pitch for their dream assignment and then giving them money to help finance it and make dream a reality. I am also moved by the collaborative inspiration behind the Shutter Sisters project. You can check out their Dream Assignment here and if you like it you can vote for them before April 3rd and help make their dream a reality.

But then I got thinking about this - do you have a dream assignment for your ministry, a crazy brilliant, creative idea that you would like to make a pitch for. Unfortunately I don't have 50,000 dollars to help one us realise our dreams, but it strikes me that one of the great things about pitching for a prize like this is that it helps us even begin to formulate our dreams, our creativity what it is we really want to try and do. Of course we won't manage to fulfill or realise all of our dreams, but dreaming is an important activity, it relaxes the brain, helps us process good and bad stuff from our lives and also nudges us in very new directions.
So on this Passion Sunday why not try to formulate your dream - make your pitch in the comments section - who knows maybe some of your dreams will become reality just because we start to talk about them?
