Created to play with god

I know that life has probably challenged who you are and marked your creative journey.

In my life, I suffered with a high level of religious abuse, where I was taught that taking care of myself was selfish and that God wanted me to sacrifice everything- and I mean everything- so that I could please Him and live a God-filled life.

This meant that pleasure, fun, and enjoying life was a rarity and doing “good works” to make others and God happy became the daily staple of my diet, as well as the lens that colored my world.

Some of the questions I asked myself were:

• Do I have permission to be me?

• What do others think of me?

• Can I pursue my passions?

Over the years I began to understand that I am already accepted and loved for who I am as God’s child and not because I have been good or have performed well.

As I began to trust in my identity as His child and share my gifts, people started to be transformed.

Lies keep us from being free to PLAY and hinder us from seeing the people God wants us to bless with our creativity.

Whether you’re growing your creative identity or leading creative teams, God is inviting you to playfully partner with Him as you step into your authority as a child of God!

Remember you are born to create!
