Creative Spirit Begins!

The workshop idea that has been brewing in my mind for many many months has finally begun! Creative Spirit started today, and I'm so excited, I can hardly stand it!! I know the Lord put it on my heart to cultivate this idea and see it happen. As I started marketing it, I was amazed at how quickly it sold out--I even had 2 more than I had intended. I've never had a sell-out workshop 2 full months prior to the start of it--ever! So, this has been blessed from day one. That's how it is when God is in it. Seriously, I believe that. The day started like this:


One of our "Creative Truths" that I had on my Thought Sheet for my students is that God is the Great Creator, and His Creation is His gift to us--our gift back is how we use our own creativity. I so believe that with every sunrise I see. I'm thankful for finally teaching a workshop that approaches creativity from its roots within each of us--our spirits. Praise be to God for this workshop and the beautiful ladies in it! Below is one painting from the day by Larissa. I will spotlight their work for the next 6 weeks....Isn't it awesome? She claims to have not painted much at all prior to today.

Yes, the workshop was awesome! Larissa's painting really surprised me as she didn't seem to have much confidence at the start of it, but I think she really pulled through! Check out that foreshortened pear....amazing.
