One of my favorite things in the world is art. I love just about every kind of art I've come across so far. I love beautiful things, things that echo the beauty of God's creations. I want to write and sing and draw and paint and dance for my King. I want to bring Him glory with every word that trickles from my lips and my pen. I want to honor Him with each line and brushstroke. I long to make things that are beautiful.
Sometimes I wish I could stop everything I am doing and just create. I wish I could cultivate the beauty within me, placed there by the Creator of the universe, so that I can make something He would love. It's when I feel the closest to Him, and when I feel most myself: when I create. Why? Because He created, and when I create I am being like Him. I'm not creating things "ex nihilo," or, "out of nothing," but rather out of the creativity that He placed in me. It's a daughter aspiring to be like her Father. It's me being me. Something deep within me just longs to create like He created.
