When I was in high school (which seems like it was just around the corner but it’s more years than I care to write here), I thought I was someone who liked to do secretarial type work. I could type well, I could organize, I could do lots of those left brained activities, so I equated the fact that I could do those things with liking to do those things. It wasn’t until recent years that I identified that being capable to do something does not necessarily mean you like it.
I’ve literally been on a creative journey with God, and it’s been fantastic. It all started in 2003 when I frustratingly muttered the words, “I am not creative!” That’s a big statement, and I can only imagine that my very creative God said something like, “Hold the phone! What??” I totally believed a lie, but my admission spun me into this journey that I am forever grateful for.
Jeremy and I have had some interesting talks lately about this subject. I definitely believe that there are those people who naturally think more creatively. Their right brain is in full force. However, I also believe that God created us all with some kind of creative something. For more left brained thinkers (which, by the way, is still my tendency to think more analytical), I truly believe that the right brain simply needs to be exercised. If I would have never exercised any kind of creativity, then I wonder if my love for blogging and photography would have emerged.
Can you pinpoint a journey that helped you discover more of who you are?
These photos were my creative photo shoot for the week, so I’m linking them up with And Then, She {Snapped} for Show {Off} Your Shot! The 100 Devotions giveaway is still going on and you can still pre-order your 2012 calendar!
