This is the story of the beginning of TweetPages’ existence.
The Clark Family, as a whole, comes out of ministry. Along the journey, Matt always kept his fingers ever-active in creative endeavors.
Here is a quick and random timeline:
The story continues…
I jumped on and realized that I could create my own Twitter background. So I did. That led to a friend who asked if I could create one for them. This led to another friend asking if I can create a background for their Non-Profit organization. He said to leave your Image Designs logo on there.
Out of the blue… David Admore DM’d me and asked, “How much are your backgrounds?”
I said, “What? How much? People would buy these?” — that began a 5 month journey.
In August of 2008 we launched TweetPages.com — first providing Twitter backgrounds. We now offer matching YouTube, Facebook Sidebars and Facebook FanPages.
During a time when the economy was sinking… we were launching a new business.
Sometimes when you realize the boat is sinking and your bucket has a hole in it… you figure out a way to empty the water.
A little about The Clarks:
- We love to hang out with each other — yes… even our kid.
- We homeschool and believe that education is not only academics… but also experience and life-lessons.
- We get to eat three square meals together, everyday.
- We love to play the Wii, board games and watch great movies.
- We live out our faith through practical steps each day. And believe that God has, and always will, desire relationship with us.
- My wife is a Left-brain (planner/organizer), I’m a Right-brain (creative/communicator), and we’re unfolding to see what our son will become (he may actually have both sides of a brain)
Like to hear you put God first! The world would be a better place if everyone did the same thing…Hope to hear from you soon. Trent
Thanks Trent. Looking forward to working with you!
Your story is funny, inspiring, heart warming and scary all at the same time! I love the way you (as a family) have worked through ups and downs and persisted. A saying I like is: “Yes, God moves mountains, but you need to bring your shovel”. I am sending you positive thoughts (I believe in the power of prayer) and am looking forward to your financial success (you already have success at many other levels). Keep upi the good work!

Greetings Pam,
Thanks for the comment and compliment
Indeed, sometimes we forget the “willingness and readiness” of showing up with a shovel. While God may chuckle when I show up with a meager shovel, He realizes that I’m ready to do whatever needed — to accomplish “His movement”.
(I might have to turn that one into a message someday)
Love that saying
Thanks again for stopping by!
