I do many workshops and work many retreats. I,
invariably, hear - at EVERY event I work: "I am not creative", "I can't
draw a stick figure". I hear it again and again, in all areas of the
country and the world. I AM NOT CREATIVE.
I look at the greatest
attacks on the children of God and realize that our enemy is
concentrating a lot on the creative minds, and hearts of His children.
Why
such a full frontal assault on the creative? This past weekend I was
with two other artists as we pondered and thought through our role at
Encouragement Cafe, 91.3 Joy FM. We spoke of the Tower of Babel and how
God intersected human pride and scattered us through language.
And then it hit.
Color
is a universal language. It speaks to everyone, without words. Beauty
speaks and it requires no translator. It is the universal language- of
course, the enemy would want to shut it down. Shut down the creative
and you shut down a language that intersects the darkness, through color
and light. Remember that black is devoid of color, white embraces all
of the colors. Shut down the creative and you shut down the use of light
and color as it pierces into the darkness.
John 1:4-6: "The
Word gave life to everything that was created and His life brought LIGHT
to everyone. The light shines in the darkness and the darkness can
never extinguish it."
So, today, I whisper into your heart - that
you serve a creative God - you were made to be creative. Rise up
creative Army of the Most High and take a stand against the darkness.
Beauty Matters- speak the language of color, shatter the darkness, and
salt your world with His love.
A mixed-media, creative explosion, of unbridled creativity.... where we seek after the Heart of the Father, glorifying Him, through paint and pen!

A Journaling Birthday Party
I was asked to share my love of journaling with a group of ladies, as a birthday party, for a special birthday girl! After snacks and treats, I shared some techniques, did some praying, showed some examples, and released everyone to play with the supplies. What a great way to usher in a new year - in the throes of creativity!!!
Want to have a birthday party - child, tween or adult? Message me for details!!!
