if you could see music...

hello again!
so thursday was another art day...i personally LOVE art days. haha...i honestly dont know why i dont spend more time just doing art. i need to more.

ANYWAYS...on thursday we played a little "game" where we all have paper and pick our medium of choice - some paint, some markers, some pastel, some a mix of all of them, etc - and then we played music.

4 different kinds (rap, rock, instrumental, techno) for about 6 minutes each - and had them draw what they heard. as sarah likes to say "if you could see music, what would it look like?"

it was fun :)

and they turned out really good! really cool to see what different people come up with and to see how they get it out. we found out that jordan is basically an expert at paint splatter, missy sees crocodiles in instrumental music, sarah dances while arting, and so much more. :) i would love to show you what some of them looked like...but did we take pictures? no...no we didnt. so sad. ill have to remember a camera next week.

i just love seeing what creativity brings out in ppl.

THEN sarah shared a devo on dreams...and how if its a dream that God has put in us, if we are dreaming in line with God and His abilities - not ours - then its no longer just a possibility, or a "what if"...it becomes truth. it will happen. not because we want it to, or because we can make it happen - but because its God's dream and He promised it would be completed...

like in Philippians when it says "He who began a good work in you is working to bring it to completion...."

He will...we may not know how or when but how great to take one of the questions out! we no longer have to ask "IF".

this past week i have just felt this like driving need to be challenged, to be led into something new, just something to work towards. and i was praying and telling God this and all of a sudden He said "ok. thats what i have been waiting to hear..."

and it caught me off guard - haha. like whoa - what did i just ask for???

but i trust Him. such a blessing to be learning to really truly trust Him...i have a feeling i will never learn it fully - but crazy as it sounds, i am loving learning it!

God is faithful and He has placed these dreams and passions in us for a reason. He doesnt show us things just to taunt us and pull it away...He has a plan and He desires for us to know Him, for us to know that it is Him that is calling us.

so talk with God...trust Him...and once you hear His voice - stop asking if...IF He wants to use you, or IF this could maybe happen...He DOES and it WILL. because He HAS given you dreams. start asking Him where He wants you to be and what He wants you to do.

Believe God for the things that only He can do...things that will fail without Him...because then you know that its Him doing it.

i just put it on here not long ago - but here it is again Isaiah 45:3.

so let Him show you that He is calling you!

here are some pictures of what the music we listened to "looked like" :)
