Yesterday I was walking along the shores of northern Chesapeake Bay. The ground had thin white apron from a recently fallen snow. The shoreline was creating the rhythmic sounds of small waves lapping the shore. I strolled the shore, I enjoyed watching the seagulls as they adjusted their wings to catch the updrafts off the shore. They seemed to glide so effortlessly as they made slight adjustments with the wind to stay aloft.
Bing — I am most creative when not weighted down. Creativity flows best from a soul at rest! Anxiety and stress rob us of the best we have to offer. If you want innovation on your team create an atmosphere of peace.
agree with that one……experiencing the same along the Gulf coast walking and listening and looking…..lots is received into my soul……
Thank you Diane for joining me on this walk. Please share our thoughts with your freinds and family.
Isn’t it funny how as soon as we’re not straining our focus on the task at hand, ideas start flooding our way? Great post!
Trust that your creations will bring joy and life to those who admire them. Thank you for your comment.
I am your number one fan! You are the best.
I so much agree with you!!! Keep listening and resting in the lord!!!!
Riding the wind instead of fighting it–peaceful flight. You’re so right!
Total truth! Excited that you are sharing the depth of your wisdom and prophetic insights on this journey with us. No more weights!
Thank you! Hope to see you here often. Creativity will be a major theme and I look forward to your contributions.
true that! Some of the greatest inspirations I have ever had came to me as I was relaxing in the shower or tub! AMEN brother.
Thank you for joining me here. Please visit often.
It seems several people are hearing the call of the Lord to return to the quiet. So hard to do in our hussle-and-bussle culture. Worse when others criticize those who do take time out from societal commitments just to get quiet with the Lord. Thanks for the word!
The stream of creativity flows from the wells of the heart. Peace, beyond understanding, really does guard the heart and those wells. Timely word.
I experience peace and quiet at sunrise. This is the most important and essential part of my day as I seek to serve the Lord daily.
God uses the beauty of His creation and the quiet times in our lives to refresh us. We have to be disciplined, and shut out other distractions to be able to hear His voice clearly and respond in IMMEDIATE obedience to His still small voice. He reminds us “Be Still and know that I am God.” Psalm 46:10
