It wasn’t until recently that I started processing the thoughts that creativity is very much part of what we are made of. It is in our blood to create. We all have something different in us that make’s us come alive, something that god instilled in us as we were knitted together, something unique that make us special. Creativity is the very thing that puts that purr in our motor, that skip in our step and makes us come alive.

I have seen painting canvases set up in a worship set with several people working on the painting. The first time I saw this I was a little taken back but quickly I came to realize that this was special. Our creativity can be a type of communication with our creator. The songs I create I believe are gifts that god give to me during my personal worship time. To me they are like a box that I open, never knowing what’s inside. As I mix the words with a melody, as I find the rhythm and refine the work, I am saying thank you Lord God, thank you.
