Welcome to My Creative Spirit Blog

I have a goal... I plan on feeding my creative spirit each day with exposure to different forms of art... Since the start of this course, I have been become more aware of the art around me. I find myself enjoying the art being displayed on and in public buildings, the art created by my family, and the art I find in books, on calendars, on the web; in various forms. I find that I am opening up and enjoying the "arts" more in the last few months than in previous times.

I do however, feel a special draw towards inspirational sayings, poems, and verses that speak to me and seem to give my life direction and purpose. The Bible is one of many forms of poetry, which I enjoy. It provides me with a sources of strength and power, where poetry is used to express a strong clear message, sometimes beautiful and sometimes harsh, at all times true. God Bless!

About Me

I am currently in the second year of my Bachelors of Education degree. It has so far been a very rewarding journey. I have laughed, cried, and reflected over the last two years in ways that I haven't really experienced in the past. During this journey, I have been blessed with a fantastic cohort who have proven to assist and lift up each other no matter what! And for this, I am grateful. Blessings everyone.

Final Blog...I Believe

When reading Stephanie's post, I remembered that I do engage in music every weekend. That would be the worship section of our church service. I am easy to spot. I am the one with my arms moving in some sort of interpretive fashion as I internalize the words that are being sung. I sing to the Lord without the concern of flat notes, or tone deafness. I sing to the Lord as my soul hungers to be fed; to be filled with living water quenching the thirst this world leaves us. When I am singing, I go on a spiritual high that words cannot explain. I know that this may seem a little out there for some of my colleagues, but this is my truth, my experience, my love, and my passion. This is what feeds my creative spirit. God bless everyone!

Sherry, thanks for sharing about your spiritual experience. I too have experienced the high of worshipping God. There is no other feeling on this earth as the feeling I get when I am interacting with the living God. Nothing will ever make me give up the communication that comes from singing

What a beautiful and personally meaningful final comment. Sherry, I have now reviewed your blog and it has been a great experience! I wanted to comment on every post but then it would take me until Christmas to get grades submitted, so I slipped into "read only" mode. I may come back and comment more after grades are in. Thanks for all your enthusiasm and openness. Perhaps the greatest artwork each of us can share is our own authentic self - you do that so well!
