I'm at the teacup trying to do my Chemistry homework.
But that can wait.
I have some thoughts I'd like to share.

My Theater professor told us that we were created in God's image, and that we are co-authors with Christ. We need to be creating because our Maker creates. He was explaining that when set designers create a set, everything on stage is completely intentional and is furthering the story.

Furthering the story.

I can't help but wonder if when we create, we are furthering the story of Christ and bringing Him glory through that.

"when we say that we aren't good at drawing or painting", my professor said, "its because that is the message that has been pounded into our heads. We have been taught that education comes first in order to get a good job and then settle down in a nice house. But we are missing the point".

He went on to say that creating isn't even limited to painting and drawing, and that we each have our own ways that we like to create.
I liked that.

It's not so bad here, after all. I'm learning to be in the moment instead of getting wrapped up in what might be.
Because on this day there is peace, and although tomorrow it may be gone, i might as well enjoy it while it lasts.
