We at RagTag Rubies believe that God created us to live fearlessly. Hard to do ... I'm guilty of at times avoiding risk and the fear of the unknown. Especially feeling that now. I will say that the times I've stepped out of my comfort zone have been some of my most memorable and inspiring moments. Here are a few beautiful words from Ann Voskamp that I thought I would share.
"God made woman to be a maker, to open her empty places and let life be knit from within her.
Creativity, it’s good theology; it’s what God did in the beginning.
The essence of creativity is essentially risk, believing enough to leap into the yet unseen. The theological terms for this is faith.
...
When we stop fearing failure, we start being artists.
...
Don’t let the sun set till you’ve done one thing that sort of scares you. Because the only trees that ever grow tall keep relentlessly stretching into unknown territory.
...
Art, it’s the second person present indicative of the verb to be. Art is a way of being and when you make your life art — thou art.
We have to get the paints out more. We have to make more messes."
