creative worship – Missions Driven

2 Ways You Can Use Creativity Part 1

What do you think of when you hear the word, “Worship”? Do you think worship is just singing to God and/or playing instruments on a stage in front of a crowd? Even if we are worshiping God do we do so just to go through the motions or do we worship from the heart? Normally people worship with just music and/or words, but I discovered worship comes in different ways.

I asked the Lord one night how worship should go for students and staff participating the next day. He spoke to me and said He wanted us to get creative using art. All this included painting, drawing, writing, singing, playing music and photography. The Lord also showed me that worship comes from the heart.

As a child you have probably drawn or painted pictures to give to your mom, dad or someone you love. At that worship session being creative was like that example of simply choosing to draw, paint or create something from our heart to give to God who is our Father. Even just by having this freedom to choose to worship one of our leaders joyfully discovered something new that she enjoyed doing!

Now that you have an idea of what creative worship is I want to challenge you to create something! Your skill level doesn’t matter because the Lord loves it all! Even if it’s not for the Lord, just do it! You may be surprised at what comes out of that creativity.

2 Ways You Can Use Creativity

Did you know there are at least 2 ways creativity can be used? The first way is through creative worship. The second is through pictures. Part 1 will cover creative worship. Part 2 will cover how creativity benefits you or others, but first I want to tell you a little about myself.

I was born and raised in Michigan. Lived in or near a small town most of my life. Graduated college with an associates in Graphic Design. Spent around 3-4 years doing missions through an organization called Youth With A Mission. Through this organization I’ve been to Thailand, Malaysia, China, Mongolia and a few other places overseas for outreaches.

Missions for me is a life changing experience! I tell you this not so I can brag, but so you can get to know me as a writer. Now that I’ve introduced myself some I leave you with Part 1 of, “2 Ways You Can Use Creativity”.
