A Creative Heart from a Creative God: Designed with vision 🤍

Come on in, Sis!!!

Grab your tea! ☕️💕 it’s another snow day…I know you need it, lol!

Before we get into it…how are you…really?

Have you checked in with yourself today?

Not the “I’m fine” fine, but the honest one!

Yeah… that one, lol!👀

If not…take a deep breath and a second to thank God for this small moment to reflect 💕

Okay…you ready?! Let’s talk! lol

Lately, creativity has been sitting heavy on my heart. Not in a bad way. But in a way that makes me think deeply about my gifts and here’s what I’ve learned so far:

I’ve been reading Genesis, and this time it hit me differently. I felt this deep wave of gratitude wash over me because my Father, the greatest Creator, loved me enough to place creativity inside of me. Not just as a talent. Not just as something cute I do on the side. But as something written into my very being.

It felt personal. Like a Father passing something sacred down to His child 🥰🥰

And honestly, it’s a wonderful thing to belong to the One who hung the stars in place and still cares about the details of our hearts. To know that the same God who spoke galaxies into existence also thought about you and said, “Yes… I’ll give her vision too.” 🥰

Now let’s be real, sis. Being creative is beautiful, but it can also be frustrating. Because when you have many gifts, many ideas, many dreams, your mind can get cloudy. One minute you’re inspired, the next minute you’re overwhelmed like, “Okay God… which one am I supposed to focus on right now?” Girrrl! Lol! I’ve been there…honestly, I’m still there. Through the years I’ve been an event planner, I’ve made treats, a small amount of graphic designing, I was even doing hair at one point 🥴🤭😂😂! Not to mention what I’m doing now with my business. That’s just a small list. It seems like anything I put my mind to I can create with ease. I’m so grateful for that. However, but! 😂 I won’t sit here and act like I haven’t spent a few nights crying out to God asking him to show me what I should focus on.

Then society comes in real loud with its opinions.

Pick a lane.

Stay in your box.

Be consistent.

But over the years, I’ve realized God never called me to be one dimensional! 

He gave me vision. He gave me dreams. He gave me multiple gifts on purpose. And he did the same with you! Not to confuse you, but to stretch you. To remind you that your creativity doesn’t need approval from the world when it already came with His fingerprint on it!!!

Creativity has always been how I process. How I heal. How I express things I don’t always have the words for. And now watching my children create in their own ways stops me every time! My bigs (Natalya and Karter) are growing into their gifts and finding that they are multitalented. Natalya with hair braiding and Karter with his art! 🥰 My momma heart smiles every time I see a new creation from them!! I can’t wait to see what gifts AJ and Aria possess 🤍

They are so gifted. All different. All beautiful.

It reminds me that creativity isn’t random. It’s inherited. It’s intentional. It’s generational.

So if you’ve ever felt scattered, misunderstood, or pressured to shrink yourself into something more digestible, hear me when I say this. You are not too much. Your ideas aren’t extra. Your creativity is not a distraction.

It’s evidence.

I’m grateful to belong to God.

Grateful that my creativity is proof that I come from Him.

And I hope this space gives you permission to honor whatever creativity looks like in your life. Whether that’s art, business, motherhood, music, writing, or simply giving yourself permission to dream again.

You come from a Creator.

That matters.

Tea Time Reflection:

Where have you felt pressure to limit yourself instead of trusting the full vision God placed inside you? What might change if you allowed all of your gifts to coexist?

Next time, I want to talk about what happens when creativity meets obedience and why waiting on God doesn’t mean you’re falling behind.

Until next time,

Toyia 🤍
