Found : Jesus Branded


Recently a friend of mine exposed me to the joys of those trendy t-shirt blogs. Have you seen those? The ones where the shirts are released twice a week and are on sale for an hour before they're gone forever.

How exclusive and trendy! That would be a good descriptor for the sort of t-shirts they sell, too. Exclusive, trendy, and a little too fashion-forward for this Kansas girl.

So, imagine my surprise when one of my favorite trendy t-shirt blogs, Jesus Branded, released their Thursday shirt...and I liked it. Actually, I didn't like it...I LOVED IT!

So, I've officially made my first purchase on one of those underground you-have-to-wear-glasses-with-thick-black-frames-and-have-really-shaggy-bangs-to-shop-here sort of stores.

Want to see it? I thought you might!

Isn't that perfect? The shirt's designer explained that one of her favorite scriptures is Psalms 119:32, and wanted to make a shirt that reflected the child-like innocence we should have in our view of God and following after Him.

"I run in the path of your commands,
for you have set my heart free."
(Psalms 119:32, NIV)
Even better that after this morning's post it has a double meaning to me! It makes me think of my venture into running and the awe that I feel when I realize just what this body He created can do. It really would make a perfect shirt to wear in the race this August....although it's way to cute to sweat in!

To become part of the glasses-and-bangs-wearing-cool-kid crowd check out Jesus Branded and grab their RSS Feed.

Enjoy!

I love that t-shirt! The graphic artist did a great job as well. I always love thinking about God's love like the love of a child, and I love they captured this. Yay for t-shirts and beautiful companies such as this one!

This is something that my girlfriend's BF and I were JUST discussing this past weekend! We were watching her run a duathlon, and I just casually mentioned that I love seeing others push their bodies to limits like this race and the triathlon that was running as well. He simply stated, "it's really only a tiny fraction of what our bodies can probably do." And he's right...and it makes me want to push even harder. Once I charge my ipod, of course.

Hi Lindsay, this is Sam, JesusBranded's designer, and I just wanted to pop in and thank you for the post! I wanna clear the air too that we're NOOOOOOT at all one of those underground you-have-to-wear-glasses-with-thick-black-frames-and-have-really-shaggy-bangs-to-shop-here sort of stores (although, unfortunately I do own thick brown glasses)! Yikes, I really hope that's not what it's becoming, because that would be terrible! Anyhow, we're glad that you liked the shirt! PS, I'm a boy. O_O;;

What a great shirt, and I love that the designer left a comment for you! I'm so glad you got the shirt.

Happy Running!
