Don't Discount the Doodle


My friend and co-worker, Aaron Brown, has a great blog named Existemi. He wrote a fantastic post on creativity the other day and want to share it with you. The post is called, "Art and Faith" and you ought to check it out. Click here to read.
Like so many people, Aaron considers himself a "closet artist." Doodling and such. But even doodling is art and can come from the depths of one's heart. Don't discount your doodles. Pay attention to them. Look through them and see what hidden message can be uncovered.
Something to consider: in your prayer time have your pens, pencils, and your sketchpad on hand. As you pray - doodle. As you doodle - pray. Let whatever come come. Ignore nothing, just doodle your prayers and see what God has for you. You may discover something new about yourself, about your life with Jesus.
Grace & peace on the creative journey ~ deAnn
