Me being creative is the best form of worship I can think of. I used to get envious of other peoples abilities, but I decided that was not only foolish, but it was a slap in the face to God. Creativity is a gift, a reflection of grace. It would be really rude of me to put it on the shelf because I don't feel like I am the best one at it. Of course I am not the best...He is. Jeez.
I started my creativity day (it's a new thing...once biweekly) by making muffins. I didn't follow a recipe. They are banana blueberry oatmeal muffins (you gotta work with what you got). I was going to use chocolate milk instead of regular milk...but my spirit felt like it was going to throw up at the thought of it, so I didn't. The muffins are fantastic.
After the muffins, I decided to write. I read over some stuff I wrote a while ago (goodness gracious, I am good with words) and I put on some Sufjan for inspiration. I ended up writing a letter and a prophetic word. Fun times. I am going to pick up my old dusty guitar and write some songs this afternoon. Quite excited about it. I haven't picked up a guitar since the school of ministy...well...I tried a couple times...but then all the memories of people who are WAY better than me came to haunt me...so I dropped it. It may sound stupid to most people, but that is the way I worked. If I can't be the best, I am not even going to try. It WAS my motto.
Sigh...How times have changed.
Okay, so here is what is going on in my life as of recently. I work as a Dietary Aide. I am probably going to quit, because the hours SUCK. I am thinking of working at Food Basics for a while. The truth is, no matter what I do, I am only going to be working for two more months. Then I get to do what I came here to do. Hairdressing school is going to rock. I will have a chance to be creative every day. I am pumped.
I just got my hair done. It cost me SOOOO much money, and it was not really worth it. BUT, I am happy non-the-less. I will put pictures of it on facebook. I love the purple. It's fun for the summer.
Okay friend (Annie, I do believe you are the ONLY one who reads this...), It's time for me to work on some tunes.
Huge Bear Hug!

- I am not sure that a couple of lines is going to give you an accurate essence of who I am. I throw in the towel on this challenge.

Bethany!
i also have began sporadically reading your blogs too!! why? because i love you and miss you and want to know what you are up to when we are not hanging out! muah
Hahaha... your spirit almost threw up at the thought. That is pure gold.
I completely relate with you about feeling inadequate when trying to be creative. I haven't played the guitar in years because of this. Ugh. Writing is good, because you can write what YOU want, and what you have experienced hasn't happened to anyone else.
Now I want a muffin but I can't have one, and the gluten free ones at the store near my house are something like 8 dollars for a package of them and they aren't even very good. Yeesh.
