Creativity Unleashed
|
We live in a culture where we consume more than we create. Yet, each one of us has been created with unique qualities, attributes and creative gifts that -- if unleashed -- would bring flavor and joy to the world. When I obtained my Doctoral degree as a healthcare professional, though it was a great accomplishment that anyone should be proud of, I couldn’t help but recognize the dissatisfaction I still felt. I thought to myself: this couldn’t possibly be all there is to me. In my state of dissatisfaction, I had various thoughts and ideas of things that I felt would fill the void...should I go start law school now? Do I do business school instead? Or maybe a brand-new specialty in my healthcare field? Of course, the thought of going back to school seemed so daunting to me. Little did I know that even with a Doctor of Nursing Degree, I was only living up to tiny portion of what God has placed in me. I didn’t realize that there was a fashion designer in me. Nor could I imagine a music artist somewhere in there. And being an author was the last thing I would have thought. But guess what…none of it was a surprise to God. He was only waiting for me to quit trying to make sense of my life on my own and surrender fully to Him so that He can bring out all the creative gifts He placed in me. God is a creator. When we come to Him fully surrendered to life with Jesus Christ, we give Him the power of attorney to do whatever He wants to do in us and through us, and His creativity flows through us. And you will be amazed what He can make of you that you don’t even know exists in you. Have you unlocked your creativity? What gifts have you noticed in you that you have not allowed to find expression? Why don’t you ask God today to do whatever He wants to do in you and through you? Ask Him to bring out all that He has deposited in you and let His creativity flow through you as you fully surrender all to him. P.S. I send out this newsletter once weekly to help you step into the extraordinary life in Christ. I invite you to share this Newsletter with the people you know who may be encouraged by NYTA’s message. For those ready to step deeper into trust, surrender, and dependence on God... With love and gratitude, |

What you see matters – scar or beauty, blemishes or uniqueness. It is all about perspective. Many of us carry scars that we are ashamed of. They may be physical scars, emotional scars, mental scars, or other unpleasant experiences that linger. For some, it is a past they would rather not talk about. For some, a physical scar that you have been covering or hiding from the world. For others, it could be an emotional burden you have carried for so long. In my book NYTA, I shared my personal...
Relying on one’s own ability and creativity is a recipe for living below your potential. Know the fuel that powers your extraordinary existence! A few years ago, when I got the inspiration to begin my fashion line, High + Title, formerly called OYÈ Collection, I questioned how in the world it would be a reality, considering my lack of experience in this area. I knew that to be a fashion designer, I needed a way to translate the designs I had in my head into drawings on paper before I could...
The beauty about submitting our plans and vision to God is that there is no limit to how far they can go with Him. Oftentimes, the only limit on our vision is the limit we place on it. But when we give God the open check to do whatever He wants with our plans, we are in for a ride. Is it always going to be easy and smooth sailing? No. Far from it. In fact, there will be days where you might question how you will ever make it through. There might be days where you feel like you are going...
