"Art Thou Lost, Oh Creativity?"


Ideas swarm.
Ideas swarm around me.
Ideas swarm around me like birds.
Ideas swarm around me like birds to a fertile field.
Oh, how I desire to create evermore!
An overflow of creativity overtakes my mind and I eagerly await a canvas to beckon me.
Oh, how the canvas beckons me!
Crisp white fabric stretched out over a wooden  frame.
Whether paint spills over it.
Whether my lips sings over it.
Whether dance casts a shadow over it.
Whether film is projected over it.
Whether I speak my monologue over it.
Oh, how the canvas beckons me!
A golden flash from the corner of my eye reminds me of a trophy I desire to hold.
A script tossed in the trashcan calls me to read it.
Brushes, with it's bristles torn, woo me too its touch-bristle to fabric.
The Word whispers a needed reception of my spirit.
As the dusk appears another day has gone.
What did I do to create?
There is yet a pile of unwritten screenplays.
There is yet a neat stack of portraits to be painted.
There is yet a clump of dances to be choreographed.
There is yet a bundle of gifts to be given.
There is yet a load of songs yearning to be composed!
Oh! My creativity! Where art thou creativity?!

Get Some Air!

It is time to move forward! Ah yes! to leap with full confidence and joy into life!
First of all, can I just say how excited I am!!! I mean,wow! God is just so good. He has brought friends into my life who are full of so much love, grace, and encouragement- after all they do have to witness the 24/7 of my life, so of course I am going to needs LOTS of grace!Like this morning, we had to run a timed two-miles, so my family core had the opportunity to witness one of my weakest physical moments( remember:I didn't run or do sports in high school so this was quite the challenge). But, I rejoice in the fact that it was the fastest I have ever run!! I was so excited!
We had  a women's retreat this weekend, and oh how I was refreshed! The weekend was so much more than I had expected: we baked pumpkin bread, had many sessions full of glorious worship and teaching,much fellowship with my core women, and a fancy banquet to close out the weekend. I feel like a new person, and God revealed himself in more ways than one. What I loved most about it was the love I felt. I know this may sound really cheesy, but because I posted the picture that I did with this, was because I am feeling overflowed with joy and love right now! (You probably wouldn't be surprised to know that I have been busting out in laughter at random.)


I am very much looking forward to Thanksgiving! I have the great opportunity to bring 5 of my friends home with me: one from Italy, one from the DR, one from Virginia, one from Canada, and one from NY. My family is excited to be the "family" for everyone this upcoming weekend.Their will be lots of food and fun! I know my mom and Ruth has some surprises planned=] teehee. 


I would also like to announce that I will continue acting in January! I have been in the production management for the past few months, and I have grown so much from it, but I am moving over to the acting track because God has been reminding me about what talents He has given me and that I need to use them. Man!!! I'm bursting with excitement! The film set/stage is like home for me. Hey, and if God has given me these talents, I'm blessed to use them for His glory!!!Like woot!woot!=]


I love you guys! I have the best family and supporters ever!luvluvluv!
