Encouragement
Is there something you are thinking about doing that may take you out of your comfortable day-to-day routine?  Do you sense a calling on your heart to take part in something and you may not even know why?  Experience has taught me that when this happens I must talk to my awesome God about it.  I ask for wisdom to know what to do and how to go about it.  I ask for closed doors if I make the wrong choice, as well as peace when I make the right decision.  Even so, it can be a little scary to try something new.  Faith goes hand in hand with risk taking, so often the hardest thing for us is to actually take the first step and do what we are being led to do!  Thankfully God wants what is best for us and He promises us if we trust Him He will help us find our way.  One common theme I've noticed throughout my conversations with people concerning creativity is that of trusting God without necessarily knowing why.   Some get answers as their journey progresses, some do not.  But if they are doing the "thing" that God is leading them to do, they are at peace.  I want to encourage you to talk to God about the yearning in your heart you may have.  Go to Him-trust Him-love Him.   If you are following Him, the desire you have to walk down a different path, or that idea that settles in on you at night and is still with you when morning comes, may very well be from Him!                                                                                                                                                       ©2014 Janet Carol Davis                                                                                     
James 1:5
But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all men generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him.


Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will make your paths straight.


Isaiah 30:21  
Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.” 

Psam 37:23-24
The Lord makes firm the steps of the one who delights in Him.  Though He may stumble, He will not fall, for the Lord upholds Him with His hand.

John 16:13a
But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth.
