The need to create burns within me from time to time. It does not necessarily express itself through artistic endeavors such as painting or sculpting, but through pressing need to write. To use my mind in this different way, not simply taking in information but forming together words, thoughts and ideas and putting that onto paper (or a computer).
I think the process of creation and the desire for it is a beautiful thing. It reflects so much of God's majesty in that He is the ultimate creator and we are able to mirror that (in a small way) through our creations. He does not want us to be bored or passive in life, but to express our desires, thoughts, and ideas through creation.
For me, there is still fear in the creation process. I still have doubts about whether it is worth it or if I am simply wasting my time. Yet in and through this all, I need to stop focusing so much on the result. I need to learn to sit before God, enjoy his presence, and enjoy the act of creating something. God can and will use it as He chooses.
