Years ago I took one of those spiritual gifts tests and thought my gift was hospitality. Now I'm not so sure. I have lots of clutter, dust bunnies, kitty hair, and an untidy fridg. How can I possibly have folks into my home in such chaos??!!
Last Sunday, I decided to throw caution to the wind and some hot dogs on the grill and invited some friends over after church. I have been wanting to let people into my life from church in order to help build connections but wanted to clean house first. Well, the clean, perfect, tidy(and well decorated) lifestyle wasn't happening. So I'm letting people, and their adorable kiddies into my present imperfect life/house/home.
All went well despite my faults. Thanks Christine and Etolia!!! You make me a better me! I home for more friends over, more connections and more acceptance of the present state of self. Imperfections, dust bunnies and dirty dishes in the sink, and mystery leftovers in the fridg and all.

Life as Art--an attempt at beginning
I believe in a Divine Creator that designed the Constellation Orion, the Grand Canyon, baby toes, and me. The way I live my life is a response to God's amazingness--His Glory. This I believe is worship and art. Many times my life is random, unintentional, and chaotically messy. This blog is my attempt at being more intentional with serving God, reflecting His glory my life. Especially the small stuff, like the way I drive my car, talk to people, cook dinner, clean the refrigerator.
The way God created the Universe is artistic indeed. The way I live my life will be my attempt of allowing God to create something beautiful in me and through me.
