ooohhh... those sweet whispers.
They happen. I spent most of the fall this year in a foggish type state. I was unable to clearly articulate and what I was looking for to Jesus. I think I was blind. I would try to be creative... but it would not be well recieved and it would fall flat. I believe I was motivated by survival and not by listening to the Holy Spirit's voice.
Three traights describe highly creative people... CONFIDENCE, CURIOSITY and COURAGE. I think it is huge for us to take a few moments to discover which one of these is the most important part of our make up. For me, it is CURIOSITY. I am constantly asking questions. Sometimes, I cry out to Jesus and ask why is this situation the way it is? or Why do I like to sing this song? What do these words mean? Why do You speak to me in this way and other times, I don't hear You at all? What does this verse mean to me? to others? in the scheme of life, is this important? I could go on... the questions in my heart and mind, never seem to stop. I like to know things and the way they work. Jesus knows that. he created me to be wired this way. Now that I know this... I can use this as a gift to investigate and know more about Him and his art work.

We as human beings often wrestle with the voices that tell us that there are no more ideas. These voices tell us that we can't create, that we are limited and frail. I really felt this way when my creative team vanished this past fall. But I belive in a God of miracles. He is the Master Designer, the one Who crafted every living thing that breathes. He loves my chruch... correction, HIS church, more than I ever could imagine. He has no limits, no road blocks. I have access to this amazing Creator of all. He whispers to me in a sweet soft voice. He gives me the manna I need for the day and the breath I need in order to breathe. Do I believe it? DO I receive it? Just breathe it. This is just a random thought I had today after I spent some time seeking Jesus' face. Ooohhh... those sweet whispers from Jesus, they come in... dressed like people.
