and open to listening to my creative voice. Once I’m open to hearing that voice it’ll come around more often. If I don’t turn it away it will know that it’s welcome here. “You can’t use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have.” - Maya Angelou. I’ve gone through weird “quiet” seasons where I don’t feel creative at all. Some seasons just look harder than others or require me to be focused on other things. Or I just get in really bad habits and don’t put myself in the right mindset that is needed to be creative on a regular basis.
He will never leave me so has He stopped talking to me? NO! I have just stopped listening and allowing myself to hear from Him.
Really, this sounds very much like God to me in a very cool way. I am confident that He is always with me. I want to always hear from Him, but I don’t always hear from Him like I want to. He will never leave me so has He stopped talking to me? NO! I have just stopped listening and allowing myself to hear from Him. When I allow myself and my heart to hear from Him, then I will hear Him more often! He always wants to talk to us. The question is: Are we always READY to hear from Him? Are we CREATING that space for Him to speak to us? Are we open and willing to hear it? We were created to create! Created to create all kinds of things physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. Sometimes we don’t need to try at it at all. Our creativity just comes pouring out to us randomly and it’s awesome and other times we need to work really hard at making a creative space happen for ourselves. Creating creative spaces is so important for our souls and so is making room for God! God can move, and typically does move, in our creative spaces! So be open to all of it! It’s a beautiful thing! Remember May’s theme was Courage? “Creativity takes courage.” - Henri Matisse. It’s coming full circle from months ago and that’s awesome! That is so simple yet so profound to me. We have to be courageous, open and creating creative spaces all the time!
