The idea of flourishing and being in ‘the flow’ has been something I have considered carefully over the past couple of years. Alongside this has been the persistent feeling that there has to be more to life than this… more to life than just existing from weekend to weekend, feeling undervalued, demotivated and lacking purpose. There was an instant when I realised that the times I came alive, the times I sensed the presence of God were when I was creating something. It could be a piece of poetry, sewing, crocheting, journaling, cooking, gardening… those moments where I lost all track of time and felt completely at peace. Could it be that creativity in itself is a spiritual discipline. When I began to join up my thinking between my belief in a Creator God and the knowledge that I am made in the image of God, it made perfect sense to me that I am a creative being because God is the perfect creator, and I am made in his image. So, of course, those times of creativity when I felt a connection with God derived from the divine spark of creativity placed within me by the Creator himself.
This blog is the chronicle of my journey of discovery as I ‘live in the flow’.
