Awakening Your Senses

Do you ever feel out of touch with your own creativity? You can’t even remember what it felt like during the times when you had inspiration oozing out; maybe some are so disconnected from their creative self they can’t even recall such time when they even felt creative.

However, being made in the image of an imaginative God who made the rainbow, the ocean, the birds, a zillion flowers, not to mention the intricate variations in the DNA of mankind, why would you think you are without creativity. If you feel that way, it just hasn’t been tapped into yet, or more likely you haven't made room for it.

You know how these things go, sometimes there is rich inspiration abounding and sometimes you feel more like you’re a dried up water hole. I'm currently in a season of a lot of inspiration.
As I pondered the creative impulses I’ve had lately, the prodding and invitation to be taken up into the place of musing, I realized when I am sensitive to my senses; I open the way for more creativity.

How many of us go through our days rarely in touch with the language of our senses, these incredible gifts that for most of us function with little thought, yet get little fanfare. I’m talking about the ability to see the bristles on your husband’s face, feel the smooth curve of your own calf, hear the wind whistling in the trees, smell fresh bread baking and taste the butter as it runs down the warm slice you consume in an instant.

This mysterious language was given for our pleasure, for communicating to each other and back to God. Through our senses we can experience worship in a new way. Did you know that holding your child in your arms can be an act of worship to God? The gift of making love to your husband is a profound act of worship to the Creator who made you with these senses. If we tune up our receptor to awaken to the movement of the senses in our lives, we will begin to get our creativity jumping. We will be the creative people we were designed to be.

Soon I will have a free download available on my website, 5 Steps to Get Your Creativity Jumping.
