Great News! You are Creative!

You hear things having a shop... Especially an art shop. There are lots of amazing people that walk through the doors over there. I am so delighted to meet them.
A topic that frequently comes up...


Creativity:
According to Webster:
1. the quality of being creative  2. the ability to create

Creative:
According to Webster:

: having or showing an ability to make new things or think of new ideas
: using the ability to make or think of new things : involving the process by which new ideas, stories, etc., are created

: done in an unusual and often dishonest way?? <----didn know="" p="" t="" this="">

You dear reader, have been given a gift of creativity. You were designed for a purpose, and part of it is to create. 

Pitfall thinking----> your art is supposed to like mine or Picasso, or Monet...

Truth-----> your "art" or projects do not need to look like something you have already seen or experienced

 

Pitfall thinking----> if you can't draw then you are not artistic

Truth----> many "artists" (including myself) have used light-boxes to trace, projectors, tracing paper or templates

Pitfall Thinking-----> If it isn't perfect it isn't beautiful or good.

Truth-----> If you shoot for excellence and NOT perfection you will have much more fun and enjoy what you have created without stress. 

What makes my heart sad is people telling me they aren't creative. You have the ability to create, whether it be as a programmer creating code or a sculptor creating a funny squirrel with clay. Maybe drawing isn't your thing... there are plenty of outlets to be creative. If you have tried it once and failed... give it another shot if you really want to do it. You are creative, dear reader... maybe it is with your words and poetry, maybe it is making music, metal art, baskets.
Try something new this week, pinterest has fantastic ideas=) It will bring joy to your heart to create something beautiful or funny=)

You are creative! Yes you! Tell me what you have tried in the post below if you remember=) That's what I would love to hear.

Life Begins at Conception

While soaking (meditative prayer) with a friend I asked God to give me a painting to paint. I saw a picture of a vision a woman named Elizabeth had where Jesus was holding a 2-cell fetus.

I was a little intimidated at the thought of painting Jesus and put it off for several weeks.It was 2 weeks before I was to go to the Banner Elk Festival and I felt strongly in my spirit that I was to do this painting. I complied. My very first strokes of the robe I began to feel the sadness of the babies not being able to be with their families on Earth and began to cry and intercede for the truth to shine forth and that people would understand when a person enters the zygote.

Then I put in the movie "Amazing Grace" (about the abolition of the slave trade)one of my favorites. At one point, after a defeat, the people for abolishing the slave trade were having a meeting. William Wilburforce said, "We're talking about truth. We need to throw if from church roofs, paint pictures..." At that moment I felt something physically hit my chest and I began to weep. Beloved, yes , you Beloved, a person begins at conception and God has commissioned me to carry this message on behalf of the MILLIONS of babies in heaven that didn't get a chance to live from abortion or miscarriage. If you have had an abortion, repent, renounce the effects and ask the God of mercy who LOVES you dearly (no matter what you do) to show you your child/ren in heaven if you are ready to see them. They want to be named by their parents. They love you. They love you. I recommend reading 6 Big Big Big Angels and Big Angels and Flaming Wild Horses. It will bring you great healing.

 

If you have had a miscarriage, you have a child in heaven that loves you! If you are ready, seek God, and He will show you whether you have a boy or girl if you didn't know and you can name them and know they are in heaven with Jesus.
Father, may we have Your perspective in Jesus' name. May the truth shine setting the captives free. God has a plan for each person. We can choose this plan, we are predestined for this good and perfect plan... But we can choose not to follow this plan because God has given us free will. If you want more healing resources besides the books mentioned e-mail me at amberjoyful@ajoysenterprise.com. May you receive healing and shalom this day in Jesus' name.
