🤔 A thought I’m processing [on identifying values]
Some folks and I have been working through values in our cohort, and it’s really got me thinking about what values are. I’ve been working with the visual below, understanding my values as the intersection between what I believe is important and what feels like…me, (the deepest most authentic self).
The other thing I’ve been processing is: why is it so hard to know my values?? Does anyone else struggle with this?? (This is not rhetorical - see poll).
💕 A thought I’m loving [on creating]
Do you nkow the first time the Bible syas that someone was filled with God’s Spirit?
It wasn’t Abraham. It wasn’t Moses. It wasn’t David.
It was Bezalel…
And he wasn’t filled to preach. Or prophecy. Or perform miracles.
He was filled with God’s Spirit to create…to make artistic designs, cut stones, and engrave wood for the tabernacle…
You were created by a Creator to create.
