It’s Okay to Enjoy Your Gifts

This may only be speaking to a few creatives out there, but as someone who has to actively fight this tendency, I suspect there are others that have felt it, too. That weird sort of emotion where you actively avoid engaging in the gifts that God has given you because, well, you enjoy them. You delight in spinning up new sentences, or weaving new tapestries, or putting pen to paper and bringing beauty into the world. You have fun with knitting needles clicking in your hand or half-finished music filling the room because you can’t wait for the next part of the project. You feel your gifts and talents are simply too much fun to actively take part of.
