Art in the Closet
What is it about an empty page? A new journal, an untouched canvas, a blank word document...For me, these are all exciting things. It's like the allure of a white wall to a child with a fistfull of crayons or an urban artist with a knapsack full of paint cans.
Aren't you thankful for the creativity embedded into us? Can you even fathom God's excitement as he began to create the Heavens and the Earth. Wow. Talk about endless possibilities. We all have different outlets for that creativity...the arts, parenting, teaching, public speaking, cooking, leadership, on and on...I even have a friend who finds joy in organizing paperwork at her office...it's her art.
I love that we all have different passions and desires inside of us. We really do. Sometimes, they get all dusty and shelved away, so we can forget. It's like every once in a while, you open up that one closet door...the one with everything stuffed in ... like in a comedy...where everything comes crashing out...basketballs and ski's fall to the middle of the floor. Then you see "that one thing". "Hey look what I found" you say and then pick "that thing" up and start to use it again.
