The Circle Linkup: Creativity

Once again we are joining are wonderful blogger friend and monthly contributor Kiki at her blog In it's Time for her linkup the circle. Be sure to link up with Kiki on her blog too! This month's theme is creativity, and she has asked us to answer three questions make a collage which is below--
Just some pictures from my summer/ one from my trip to South Africa in January of 2011 (all photos were taken by me, do not copy) 


1.What does creativity mean to you?
To me creativity is, taking something that God is teaching me and putting it into words here on the blog or in my quiet time with him. 
2. How do you stay creative? Who do you draw inspiration from?
I stay creative by looking at other blogs and drawing inspiration from what they write about and making it my own. Like I said in the first question, i draw inspiration from what God is teaching me and the little things that he brings to me each day. 

 3. What is a creative part of you that you don't share much on your blog (i.e. a talent, hobby, activity, passion, etc.).
Something that i don't share a lot about on my other blog, but  it is evident on this blog, is my passion for encouraging women. It breaks my heart to see how the world says women should be, and I long to see that perspective changed to the truth that each and every one of us is made in his image and that we are worth it to God always!

    I love that you have a passion for encouraging women. We are so in need of bold women who will speak into the place of vulnerability in our hearts and point us back to the Lord. I can tell even by this post that His heart is knit with yours and you seek to follow him in all you do, even in your creativity. Thanks for sharing and linking up with us :)

    I agree with you that women should be who they want to be and follow their hearts and dreams. Society shouldn't force them into a 'perfect' image. There isn't one, and I think people forget that sometimes.
    It hurts me most when people say they aren't happy with how they look, when in my eyes they are perfect and every other person would envy them... I know I do...

    Love who you are and go for what's in your heart :)
    Lovely post

      Thanks for your words for encouragement! I definetly agree that the world makes unrealistic expectations for us, but God loves us even when were a "hot mess" and to me that's all I need :)

Being Content

Content, As christian women we here that word more times than we can count, especially in a season of waiting. Content is defined as,   pleased and satisfied : not needing more.  Have you been in a season in your life where your feel like you are just waiting? Waiting for a new job, waiting for things to get better, waiting for marriage, etc. Whatever you are waiting for, sometimes it just seems like it's taking forever just like a long line at the grocery store.  When I think about being content, my thoughts instantly go to being content in my singleness. How many times have we heard the cliche lines like "just wait, God's got it" said by well meaning people, only to make you feel worse. There was a time in my life where it was so hard to hear all of those lines without just wanting to cry, because like I said it made me feel worse rather than better.  That is when I would get discontent in waiting,  sometimes I feel like i am in this never...

Beauty out of Brokenness

1 Samuel 16:7  So as you may know, this months theme here on the Quiet Place is beauty in the brokenness and it's one of those topics that I personally just want to flesh out and be real with you all. Merriam Webster defines beauty as :  the quality or aggregate of qualities in a person or thing that gives pleasure to the senses or pleasurably exalts the mind or spirit. And brokenness is a place that each of us has been in at one time or another.  For me personally I would say that I find beauty in the brokenness in my life, in the seasons that I am in. Weather it be singleness, loss, etc. There's always that feeling that nothing will ever change, but then one day you begin to find beauty in it.  Singleness has always been on of those things for me, that I share a lot about both here and on my personal blog but it's something that I've always seen as a  line between something that is beautiful and just plain hard. I have emailed back and fort...
