Today at work my main project is just plain fun: painting bowling pins. I know that sounds crazy and I will post a photo when I am all finished! I plan fundraising events full time for Junior Achievement here in Nashville. It is a fun job and I get to meet a lot of interesting people, work with a diverse group of JA supporters, and plan three major events every year. Springtime in my life is Bowl-a-Thon season. This event always has a theme and I get the opportunity to run with it...decorations, contests, and other fun activities that we incorporate at the bowling center. I really enjoy it; you never know what you'll run into at these events!
I love having the chance to be creative. I am lucky to get the occasional opportunity to sit down with a paintbrush and just enjoy my day...even when I am at work! I am very aware that few jobs would let me be creative in the way that my job does now. I am grateful for the job that I have and so glad that I fit so well with the tasks at hand.
Creativity is most definitely a gift. Not everyone has a creative spark and I am blessed to have it. My parents nurtured this gift while I was growing up and now I have to be creative. I could not do my job without it. As I think about creativity, no one shows it more than God does. I mean, He created ALL of the animals, ALL of the pieces and parts of the universe, ALL of the beautiful surroundings and people that are around us. When you really stop to think about it, it is so amazing. And he wants us to be creative, too! He wants us to think, create, make, and enjoy our lives to the fullest.
Stop for a moment and think of something you can incorporate into your day that will give you the chance to be creative. Don't miss out on this very blissful gift from God!
