David from the Old Testament, would get “stuck in the mud.” He cried out to God,” I’m a mess… make something of me.”( Psalm 40:17a MSG). David’s relationship with God was one of honesty and vulnerability. What is your first response when life takes a bizarre turn? How can vulnerable honesty help when you feel a mess? God will open pathways to deeper freedom in your life and creativity.

I walk through the dark valley of shadows during the change where we are all coming back together again. I admit, I have some fear, but You are the Good Shepherd that will protect me. You have a creative plan for me. In this next new normal, help me to be free to worship as I was created.

As Jesus asked His Father to forgive not only the guards, but all of humanity, He walks with us in our pain. He says I Understand. I am with you. Choose to forgive and allow Forgiveness to flow into Freedom.

To write your story was the topic of my last post., but after you read the post and think about each day, who do you feel has the pen when you wake up? Is there a fantastic sense of awe to address the day in wonder and anticipation or has the script been written out in such a way that it is now dreary and uninspired.

Anger rises within me when mistakes glare, mocking me with the loser card. (If you have problems dealing with that voice, read my post: Losing does not make you a loser.) As we create each day, we will come against huge barriers questioning our capability to accomplish the calling God has laid upon our hearts. This is part of writing our story. Story deals not only with technique and craft, but our very life. A true artist allows the reality of their life to be reflected in and through their art. When you create, does it reflect how you live?
