Unexpected beginnings

Art was not on my radar at all. It was an unexpected unlocking of a new layer in my relationship with God. I love spending time with Holy Spirit, I love to include Him in all my daily activities, and this quickly became another way for us to spend special time together. I began to explore a new facet our relationship, exploring new skills and trusting Him to teach me what to do, because I had no clue. It has been such a phenomenal journey and I love leaning in to hear what He is saying while we journey through each piece.

Many years ago I recall trying my hand at painting. I bought paints, tools and canvas. Half a day later I was completely in awe of the mess that I had created. 'Well, I am good at that' I stated. I didn't encounter the amount of joy, wonder and rest that I was expecting from the activity, so I packed everything away and didn't spend any time thinking about it.

I've always loved writing, but most people become good story tellers when they have good stories to tell. I can assure you that I was not the only person surprised by this new thing that God was doing in my life.

As I have matured, I realised just how little I know about myself and just how much more God knows about me. The only way to truly understand who I am, is to allow my creator to show me. This is just one part of our journey, and one part of Him unlocking something new. Creating art with God has revealed so much about how intentional He was about my design, about all of our designs. Will with you journey with Him to show you all the lovely things He designed in you?
