Great message by Tabitha Luecker - how do we continue to walk in our faith with authenticity when things are just not going well?
Our God is a creative God. He spoke and the world was formed - the same creative power is in each of us. We are all called to be creative - its not just limited to a certain "artistic" few, and not contained to a a few mediums. Each of us have ideas, dreams, and passions that when God breathes on them become extraordinary.
