and I have filled him with the Spirit of God,
with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge and with all kinds of skills— to make
artistic designs for work in gold, silver and bronze, 5 to cut and set stones, to work in wood, and to
engage in all kinds of crafts.
Exodus 31:3-4
(NIV)

God teaches me the
most remarkable lessons in the most unusual ways. After much encouraging, I
started writing them down. First came a blog, then regular writing gigs, and now I have an eBook. My book baby was born
today.
The Creator places
within each of us the desire and the capacity to make beauty in the world. The following biblical commentary on creativity can be found
at gotquestions.com,
“In the hearts of all
who are skillful I have put skill.” We learn two things about God’s view of art
in this passage: He likes it, and He is the source of it. He wants man to
create beautiful things, and their skill in doing so is from Him.
Lessons
Learned from My Downward Facing Dog is now available on Amazon.com. I’m a
little stunned and a lot excited. I would never have attempted this without
encouragement from friends and family and a structured writing group led by Ashley Wells called 31 Days
to write your eBook.
I’m off to celebrate,
but I’m leaving you with a challenge. Go after one of your dreams today. Take a
first step. Believe that the God that created you wants you to bring forth
beauty. Never stop chasing Grace and Peace, and your dreams.
