I recently bought the book "the me I want to be" by John Ortberg. It is such a fabulous book...truly life changing! There is one bit to the book though that really spoke to me, and also freed me up to enjoy what I love:
"If you have a gift for hospitality, throw parties on a regular basis. The joy you feel when people are gathering and talk is flowing and laughter is resounding and new friendships are being forged comes from God. Your living room can become an outpost of the fellowship of the Spirit."
That's exactly what I feel, and to hear someone say "enjoy that" is wonderful! He begins this chapter by saying:
"...certain activities, sensations, people and thoughts that wake up the 'got-to-have' response in you. Those desires are God's gift to you. They are part of the you God wants you to be."
That would be creating for me- whether it be parties or scrapbooking pages or invitations or designing a room. Go pick up this book- I promise you will love it and really tap into YOU!!
