What new thing is God calling you to do this year that requires creativity? What about this week?
I think about this a lot lately. Your family and certain friends may not understand, but I understand. More importantly, God understands. And no wonder:
“The Spirit moves in us, giving us the mind of Christ that feeds our creative life. This abundance is scary; it is deeper than we can imagine. What would we do if we were epxeriencing God continually, available in every minute to use our abilities fully for him? It is too much for our little selves to handle. So don’t handle it. Do the thing God has put in front of you. Start there and be fully available to the new thing he will acomplish as you do it.” ~

I don’t think I’m all that creative and that’s a good place to be. I am aware where true creativity comes from.

Hi Vicki,
The past few weeks I’ve been creating publicity materials for the women’s conference at my church. I just love making desktop publishing items . . . almost as much as writing!
What a great book “The Creative Life” is. You’ve shared some nice things from it. Very inspiring.

Iris, hope you’re able to get some writing done. Thanks for the note!
Denise, I might differ with you about that:-) God makes a deposit in all of us…sometimes we need to explore.
Carla, that sounds like fun to me. In the past I’ve enjoyed similar activities. Thanks for popping over. I need to crank up the rhythm over here but haven’t
had my usual energy. Oh yes- the book is very inspiring!

Hi Vicki–great question. Seems God has called me to attempt to get back into regular blogging, and it’s been very therapeutic with my overly busy life! I also feel the call to fine tune some photography skills. There’s so much to learn about our amazing God, His creation, and how best to serve others by capturing it!
