What Is Your Creative Child?
It’s okay to begin even if we don’t have the outcome as clearly in our minds as we would like. It will be messy, scary, but most of all, exhilarating.

But maybe creativity isn’t something that’s just birthed in childhood. When the Holy Spirit whispers to us, “Go for it,” maybe all we have to do is jump.
A God-mark is something physical that makes us stand out. I call it a God-mark because of my sister’s birthmark, but others know it as a thorn in the flesh.
How do you picture God “looking down at you”? Is He smiling, frowning, or somewhere in-between? Let’s explore those questions and discover the basis for our Father God’s acceptance of us His children.
You are so much more than what a guy thinks of you. You are so much more than your appearance or intelligence. You are worthy of love just by being you.
Sometimes, it has cost my dignity, like when He whispers, “Go speak to a stranger” and, even more, to pray for them. I have never wanted to go do that.
When we are caught in destructive patterns, we might wish we could start over. We can’t do that literally. However, maybe we can do it figuratively.
If we are smart, as Christians, we will turn to God for help when we are in despair and cry out to Him to save us. But what about when things are good?
This is my most recent painting, capturing what God is speaking to me about the metamorphic process we’ve been going through.
My creativity being shared seems to pull her out a little and bring her back into the story. She’ll do the same for me when she’s in the magical workflow.
What matters most is not the grade that comes home on the report card. It is not perfect attendance or perfect behavior.
The commission to “go” never required perfection on the part of those being sent. It simply required the boldness to be obedient.
The idea and desire to publish remaining ever there yet, most times, out of reach. Like I was floating above the earth in a stationary place.
I went through a horrible period of panic/anxiety attacks when I was a young mom. And the worst part of it all was that I thought God was punishing me.
I have felt like there is not enough of me to go around. I feel stressed to the max with no room to wiggle. I am starting to feel like I can’t breathe.
You may ask “Lord, why me?” or “Lord, why am I going through this?” Just as He trusted Job to go through, He trusts you, too!

The truth is, whether we like it or not, depression is a weapon from the enemy, and it’s more common than we think. We are not alone.
How can we converse with God and the people around us if our eyes are on our phones and devices? The answer is we can’t! Someone is getting ignored.
Do not miss the goodness that is ripe around you. Squeeze out every drop of My love, revelation, and blessings that you can grab hold of today!
Yet you wash away those walls, Like a flood claiming ground again, You become my hiding place, And my broken heart you mend.
As culture has continued down the path of rejecting Christianity and God, we have now, once again, seen the re-emergence of the superheroes.
I wish that I could tell you that this self-induced scenario was the peak of my embarrassing moments…truth be told, my life has been a series of embarrassing moments.
My brothers and my sisters, I may not know the full extent of your circumstances, your situation, or your storm, but God wants you to know that you can handle it!
