My wife said to me the other day "you are the creative in this family, you need to do it." While right now I don't remember exactly what the conversation was pertaining to, I do know that in one way she is right. My wife is logical, numerical, structured and organized. Me, I am more the free spirited, think with my mouth (or in this case my fingers) and a creative being. But here is the challenge for all us, we were created in the image of a creative God. Case in point - a redwood tree, a duck-billed playtapus, a venus fly trap and a baboon with a red rear end. That is creativity!
Creativity has been organized, structured and neatly boxed up into selective categories like writing, art, speaking and designing. But we have limited the reach of being creative. We all have the ability to be creative, because we were created by the Creator.
You may read the words of this blog and think, "hey he ain't that good." Okay, but here is my point, this blog is an outlet of the creativity that God has put in me. And the rebuttal would be to ask you this "where are you being creative?" Where is the place that you can release what God has put inside you? Maybe you creatively unpack logical thoughts. Maybe you are creative in how you organize. Maybe you are creative in something completely unrelated to your job or the rest of your life, but your creativity in needed. You have to find that release of what God has put inside you. Whether you start a blog or just journal. Paint mural or draw on napkins. Re-design a home or just re-organize you closet. The creative insight that lies dormant needs to stoked and brought to life.
Your creativity is needed because God has uniquely wired you as you and there are things no else has been designed (uhm, created) to do! Go be creative! Scratch that itch, your creativity is needed.
