I love creativity. I am longing to create again. All I've created lately are things to eat. And they are soon gone and I have nothing left to show for it. (Exept for Nicole's pictures of our apple pie... those are pretty!) I wanna start drawing again. Crocheting again. Scrapbooking again. Something.
Actually, I've been thinking about a project I want to put together. I want to make our family's memorial book of what God has done for us. I've been thinking about this for several years. Ever since Jeannette Henry told a Bible study group I was participating in about the basket of memorial stones she has. Each stone has written on it a memory of something God has done... an answered prayer, a new birth, an adoption, a special occasion... all beautiful memories designed to stimulate praise and awe at what God has done for them. I loved this idea; I wanted to make a memorial to God for my children to see, too.
Given my love of art and scrapbooking, this idea has taken on another form for me. I want to make a book. I want to include photos, art, journaling... But I need to write down our history so I can have something to build on.
I'm getting the itch. Gotta get started soon.
Lord, please get the glory! Not for me. Not for me. It's for you.
Amen.
