Creativity, Blogging and God
September 6, 2010
My husband and I have friends who have been a part of our lives, both before we were married and since. They have in many ways been our mentors. They have spent at least the last 20 years as missionaries all over Europe and have such an organic way of showing Jesus to others – they are so amazing.
One of the things I most appreciate about them is how creative they are. It’s not just an aspect of who they are – they simply are creative in every way possible. They ooze creativity, if you will. They are a little “out there,” and I adore them for it.
Currently the wife runs a ministry out of Spain that uses the arts to express the love of God and to evangelize a lost people. It is not conventional, but it is so genuine; it’s naturally progressive without trying to be. The husband has been on a voyage of his own this last summer in Germany and when I saw him this evening, he shared with me about his personal blog. So, after everyone else went to bed, I thought I’d check it out. It’s so amazing – again without trying to be. He takes the everyday elements of life, sometimes even the ugly or mundane and he transforms them into artistic expressions that always lead back to Christ. He allows the reader into observations about cross-cultural living as if there is really no audience at all – I can imagine all these things as mere conversations in his head that accidentally got scribbled down and we stumble upon them. I encourage you to check it out. I appreciated it as a former missionary who spend years living cross culturally and as a creative person always looking for ways to express myself.
