by Javetta Allen  You rise early in the morning, set up a pristine space at a cute little wooden table,
throw in your favorite cup of tea or coffee, your favorite bible with the flawless, crispy pages, and VOILA! You are now ready to meet with the Lord. This is the Holy Grail combo deal of spiritual disciplines that a person can get in one sitting. It usually involves Bible reading, reflection, prayer, journaling, solitude, and—you guessed it—quiet. We are taught that it’s best to do it first thing in the morning before you get your day started because then and only then will you be ready to face the world. Sounds incredible, doesn’t it? But let’s be honest: most of us are not meeting with the Lord like this everyday.

When you have purpose, it's the tie that binds your whole life together and everything just begins to flow.

I recently had the honor of hearing the great graphic artists Paula Scher speak at an AIGA event. During her talk, she poured out hard-learned lessons, industry commentary, and well honed advice gleaned over her 40-year career. We were all eating up every word, until she she said, "You should work for free." An audible gasp could be heard in the auditorium when the slide came up. "How could the queen of design, my heroine of typography say such a thing?," was all I could think.

One of my favorite things about being a director is that you have the opportunity to give people the confidence they don’t have...I try to instill the confidence that was instilled in me into others. — Caleb
 This will get messy. But, I got you. - God #verseinanutshell We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love. Romans 5:3-5 NLT

"Yes, I'm good at creating content ... I think I am being presented with these [opportunities] to be the light and rekindle people's fire." — GJ  Photo by Robert Collins on Unsplash I pray Philippians 4:6-9 over you. I see the insecurities, worries, anxiety, and fear that sometimes lead your actions. In response, you lash out to make others feel small...like you do. I see those actions, but hear "I have to prove my worth, because I don't believe I have any."

I was tired of carrying these generational curses. I just told God I want it out. I want it done. I want your will in my life ... so I started to acknowledge not who I was but who I wanted to be in Him. — Keith
 Photo by Aziz Acharki on Unsplash I pray you see what God has seen in you all along. That the goodness and greatness of you come forward, and past hurt melts away. That you rediscover the amazing person you were before the pain.
 Way too many things have happened in the last 6 months. Since August I have experienced a couple of family emergencies, two health scares, Hurricane Harvey, and work craziness. All in all, the final gasps of 2017 kicked my butt.

I thought I couldn’t do it. God said I could, and I did. --Da’dra
 Just a moment of transparency...
There are times when I feel my hopes and dreams dwell on the other side of my flaws and mistakes. Therefore, knowing that perfection is impossible and mistakes will happen, what I want to accomplish always seems just out of reach. God is still working on me, when it comes to my confidence in myself and my abilities, but those nagging voices are diligent. If you feel this way too, know you are not alone. We may be fighting our own individual battles, but it is the same war.

When the atmosphere shifts and the people are experiencing something otherworldly, and all I’m doing is opening my mouth, man that’s what I live for. — Da’dra
 Though this site is for and about spirit-led creatives, we want to leave a message for anyone who dares to dream.
You dare to see beyond your now, witness the vision God has for you, then go for it — quaking in your boots the entire way. We love you and are praying for you. ... God, we pray for the dreams and us, the dreamers. We serve as vessels for your kingdom on Earth and we pray for all those who feel a swell of passion coming forth — knowing it is your Holy Spirit rising in them. |
