I've found over the years that God's creativity is just too irresistible! I always want more of it. And truthfully I think God wants me to go after it too. When I am willing to just let God direct the creative process.... amazing things begin to happen. It's fun, it's waaay beyond what I could have ever thought of, and the end result is usually something that draws other people toward the fun!
Each Easter and Christmas works that way with me. I just start out by listening to music and pretty soon something "clicks". I used to try and figure out why but now I just go with it. It's a lot of fun to see where Jesus takes me. This year Easter seemed to be heading down a road with a wall at the end. I just could not figure out why I couldn't quite finish the process. I kept thinking that I had not been listening well, or I missed something along the way, etc. But then this last week I found out what God had been up to. My dilemma was with finding solo's for all of the soloists. And I was 1 solo short every time. Then the answer came when one soloist called to tell me she was going to have a surgery. Right before Easter !
No wonder I couldn't find it....I wasn't supposed to! God is so good. He always knows what I need....and don't need.....all the time!

Being a preschool teacher demands that you are open to God's creative hand. I can't count how many times I have had to improvise tools or projects, dances or even songs throughout my career as a teacher. God has always been faithful to get me out of those creative jams. He is truly gracious and compassionate!
