Creativity takes letting go of perfection and allowing yourself to start from right where you are and then building upon that each step of the way.
I know so many artists out there who never want to show anyone their work because it's not what they invisioned in their own mind's eye. Yet if anyone saw their work they would tell them how talented they are, and how beautiful their artwork is.
I myself have seen/heard brand new worship leaders who are nervous, miss a chord, or a note turn into some of the most gifted and talented worship leaders out there. I know that had they not been willing to practise and then try and then practise somemore , all the while being imperfect in front of others, they would not have reached their goal.
My goal is to write at least 3 times a week on this blog..I want this blog to be a place of hope, joy and The Good News. I would also like this to be a place for those of you praying for us to see what the Lord is doing in our lives and in the lives of the young people around us. Unfortunately my perfectionistic ways have been getting in the way of my sharing the beautiful stories around me.
This is where the creatvity will come in.
On Mother's Day I believe that the Lord told me that this would be a year of color and music. So I am sure that this will find it's way onto the blog.. as well as video's, maybe some drawings.. who knows?!
But I know that this will be year of adventure and non-perfectionistic thinking.. well.. as far as the blog goes anyway!!
So today I am hoping you can listen to a song that a friend of a friend wrote. It is about grief, about a baby dying and that baby's words to it's mama. As I listened to it I wept and smiled remembering my dear little Kirra.
I smiled knowing that one day I will see her again...
