I'm not sure where I first heard this phrase, but this time is surely one of great imminence. I've had to take some time away from writing my blog reflections and appropriate that energy to other creative outlets, which is a great deal of growth on my part. I used to be so fixed on the idea of taking on new things but never easing my grasp on the old practices. There's only so much space and capacity which which we can create. I do believe that capacity can be expanded and stretched but, the focus needed to creative quality and fulfilling work I believe requires a bit of emptying. Emptying our minds of expectation, emptying our hearts into our art, and emptying our hands of tools and things on our plate that won't serve us in the endeavor we're approaching.
I'm very proud of my most recent project. I made a video which feels like a creative breakthrough because of the way it bridges my storytelling interests, and symbolizes the fruition of a vision I've been stewarding over the past few months. It's good to feel like you did something. I'm proud of it for what it means to me and I am pleased in that I feel like it gives God glory.
What has been really difficult for me is waiting to share it at the right time. I want to have my immediate family all together in one space to share it then I will put it out to a broader audience potentially. But these past 2 days since it's been done, in addition to the process in which I was creating it, I've really had to keep my composure. But when you know you've got something special to offer this world you can't help but hold it in. I think about that song Mary Did You Know ? It posses a very essential question for us. God has planted glory inside of us. Just as a baby can grow, so shall our thought and our visions. Our imagination is one of our greatest gifts, and my hope and prayer is that you are brought into revelation about what it is God has inside of you thats stirring and kicking. That the thrust of those thoughts became so prominent and poignant that you move on it. May the world welcome what's inside of you with care, love, and joy. I'm excited for what will come from you.
