Hi Friends,
My recent trip to England has left a profound impact on me. So much so that, I've intentionally not done a whole lot with Facebook recently. I still may post things to FB which may leave the impression that I'm on there, but I rarely log-in (so how is it that this post shows up on fb? Another site which automatically publishes my posts to the platforms you select it to). In the words of Westley, "Please understand that I hold you in the highest respect." I'm not intentionally ignoring anybody on Facebook, but I really haven't felt the need to spend much time on there. So if you think I've missed something important, please feel free to email, text, skype, or even comment on this post (I haven't given up on technology).
A pleasant benefit from the trip across the pond has been a new-found discovery of my own sense of creativity. I don't really think of myself as "creative" or "artsy" but overseas I felt as if God did some deep work in me, part of which was to either spark or re-awaken the creative. I now enjoy drawing. Alright, so technically one probably would only categorize my "drawings" as doodles but I must say that those doodles have evoked a sense of pride in my own creation. I've also taken up the camera again. No, it's not quite a sword, but it can get as heavy as a sword sometimes.
Another outworking from the creative is a new sense of wonder and beauty as seen through the photographs of those on the Instagram community. I never realized just how much of a community exists on this platform. One of my recent "community" discoveries has been that of Socality. The name is an acronym which stands for "Social Community All About Eternity." I love seeing, interacting with, and even posting my own contributions to this forum because it is with a purpose and intentionality. We are all about seeking and bringing glory to God! Seeing others' work has lit a fire in me to create and show-case my creativity. I've really enjoyed crafting meaningful captions to the pictures I post to Instagram (check them out here). You may have seen some of them as I'll occasionally post them to Facebook as well (hint: I predominantly post them to IG now with occasional postings to Facebook). If you're interested in following along, my handle is @Ronsard28.
I'm looking forward to the continuing process of creating beautiful content and I'm excited to share it with y'all. I'd love to hear from you, so if this idea of creativity has struck a cord in you then please share!
