I love the fact that five words into the Genesis 1 we learn the first of many attributes of God - “In the beginning God created…”

The fact that He allows us to enter into the act of creation with Him has been one of the greatest gifts of my life. Whether it’s through writing or designing or sewing or painting, the process of creativity encourages continual learning and growing, and brings me great joy. And while I used to think that the end result was the main point, now I do it simply for the joy of discovering what lies beneath the ideas I want to explore, and because, as Eric Liddell put it, “I feel His joy in me” when I create.

Thank you for stopping by to check out my work, and if you’re interested in learning more, please reach out.
