This is Our Life - week 7 {Terre Haute lifestyle photographer}

This is week 5 for the This is Our Life project and the theme is "negative space...it's a positive thing!"

So, first of all, I really don't like the term "negative space." It just sounds so...you know...negative. White space or open space sounds so much nicer.

Joey is an artist. He's constantly doodling or making some project. He even spends indoor recess at school in the art room. I have a big roll of white seamless paper left over from my studio days so I got it out and let him draw on it yesterday.



The Bible says that man was made in God's image, so while we obviously are not God, there is a likeness. One of the things he shares with us is creativity. I mean, just look around and you can see that God is the ultimate creative genius. So every time we make something, every time we solve a problem, every time we create a work of art, we are proclaiming that we are made in God's image. Giving us the gift of creativity is one of the millions of ways God shows his love for us. Using that creativity to glorify him is a way we can show our love to God.

Joey has such a gift in art and I can't wait to see how he uses it for God as he grows up.
