Overturning Tables

 I love art. I love creating. It's something I'm passionate about. Passion. It's kind of a big deal to me. Passion and authenticity. These are themes of my life lately. I'm known for my passions. Some call it obsessions, but I'll go with passion, it sounds nicer. Like I said, I'm passionate about art. It's my belief that God is the greatest Artist there is and that He puts creativity in everyone of us. No distinction. We are all made in His image and because He IS the Creator, He puts that within each of us. I heard recently that God will meet us where we are at. That He will speak to us in the things that matter to us. One of my favourite expressions of art is music. I can't play an instrument. I 'think' I can hold a note....I know nothing about the knowledge end of things but I sure can take the message of a song and apply it to my life or find God within the notes and within a good melody.

 I was talking to some friends recently and how we, as a christian society have put labels on things. Christian movies, books, music...and how we've boxed ourselves in. The thing is though, God CAN'T be boxed in. If you find yourself in this place that's fine, I just think you are missing out on a LOT of good artistic talent God has put into His people. With these labels have we made a market place for God? Another question that came up in discussion: If Jesus came along and saw us selling these things in His name would He smile and walk by? Or would He overturn the tables? Just some food for thought.

In this blog, I'll show some of the journey God's been taking me on and how He speaks to me and shows His love to me through song...any song. More often than not, this is not under that 'christian' label I mentioned before. I hope you'll keep an open mind and join me on my journey.
