Intentionally Creative

 Many of you know first hand that I am a pretty passionate person. Whether thats expressed through my many ridiculous obsessions (books, musical instruments, Apple Products, Starbucks, scarf making) or unashamed attempts to cook, bake, sew, or even captivate an audience with my natural charm.


Over the years some have asked how I can so easily and flawlessly be okay with being described by some as ridiculous. Well, it's because I appreciate and embrace my creativity and let those internal promptings ultimately lead me too what I've decided to live my whole life pursuing, God's glory. Sure, sometimes the wires crossed but who doesn't. ;-)


Steve Jobs once said, 

"Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn't really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That's because they were able to connect experiences they've had and synthesize new things." 

When that creativity is intentionally pointed towards the only person deserving our pursuits, I strongly believe that we can create even more amazing things than Apple. In the bible we are told that we can move mountains, break through the darkness of this world, and shine a light that can change the world by simply asking the Holy Spirit. So, if Steve Jobs can change the way that we look at technology without acknowledging the strength and wisdom from the Holy Spirit, how much more can those that are filled with that Spirit truly do? 

As we all are intentionally creative and asking the Spirit to give us wisdom on how to change this world, we'll start to see a world that God has intentionally filled with children intentionally designed with all kinds of gifts and creative talents. 

"And he has filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, with intelligence, with knowledge, and with all craftsmanship, to devise artistic designs, to work in gold and silver and bronze" Exodus 35:31-32 

So, I would like to personally challenge you to be intentionally creative with the Lord today. Pick up a pen, a pencil, a hot glue gun, a measuring cup, or even some lipstick and eye shadow to create your masterpiece. Don't settle for someone elses expression of creative, intentionally create with the Lord a life that is painted with all kinds of adventures. It's worth it!
