Right Brain Redux: Day 21 of 30-day Creativity Challenge

Right Brain Redux Day 21: 3 Weeks In, and They Don't Suspect a Thing

Jessica's project at this milestone: "Make something for someone else". 

Kevin's was "Post a picture of the most interesting thing you saw today".

Kevin: Now, I may be fudging a bit here, because I didn't actually take this photo today. I took it a couple of days ago. But I did not actually SEE it until today. It's a straight-down shot of a little two-prong ginseng plant my mother found when she, I, and mini-me were in the woods the other day (we didn't dig it, but we did plant the berries it had). Besides the fact that ginseng is, to me, the most beautiful plant in the woods, the way the picture turned out was very intriguing to me. To my eye, it almost seems as if the little 'seng leaves are floating above a printed paper backdrop of fallen leaves rather than an unruly pile on the forest floor.

Jess: My task: Make something for someone

I enjoyed making the Zentangles so much that I decided to do a bookmark for Kevin. It was small enough that I figured I'd be able to finish it. (Zendoodles take longer than I thought they would!) Also, he really loved my first attempt. He enjoyed finding all the little symbols and guessing what each thing was based on. I put the bookmark on a page of my notebook to take a pic of it. 

Psalm 121:1-2 "I lift my eyes up to the hills- where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth."

Right Brain Redux: 30-Day Creativity Challenge Day 11

Right Brain Redux: 30-Day Creativity Challenge // Day 11 of of 30

Jess's task: Photography: Capture Opposites

First: God, you are the Ultimate Artist! I am absolutely in awe of your creativity. Thank You for giving me the desire to also be a creator.

When I (Jess) got this challenge, I had to think awhile on what I'd do. Driving around today, up, down, around, and even on top of the mountains, I saw the contrast of light and dark, sunlight and shadows. So I thought about how light and dark are opposites and took that approach.

I had to laugh at myself because it occurred to me that I'm really obsessed with light... always chasing it around. I'm usually thinking about it as we drive and as I observe everything. I know I'll never quite capture photographic perfection, but wow... the chase is fun.

Kevin is working on his project for today, but he will have to post it tomorrow. He's had a rough day at the dentist.

Family Worship Center: Construction Outreach

Share|


This video is a compilation of three #building projects. The first is an #outreach project to build a #cabin for a man who, before the completion of his new home, lived in an inoperable school bus. The second set of pictures is an outreach building project that is the first of what we hope to be many widow’s #cottages.





The third group of pictures is the breaking ground and beginnings of Family Worship Center’s Family Life Center. It will be a multi-purpose building to serve our growing children’s and youth #ministries. It will also serve as offices, a rec center, fellowship hall, and a place for church classes. The Family Life Center will be a central location in the #community for continuing #education classes, #GED classes, and an #adult #literacy program.
