Feeling Inspired?

What makes you feel inspired? You know, something that stokes the coals of your creativity and makes you want to go out and do something. Maybe it's a specific song, a place you love to go to, or even a type of weather. This week, I asked a few friends this question and thought I'd share some of their responses!

"I find inspiration while hiking. Seeing the light change from pre-dawn to early morning, taking pictures of rosy gold light on the rocks and cacti, looking down from the summit... I find it all a really inspiring mix of beauty and difficulty."
"Doing something that doesn't take much thought like going on a walk or listening to music can help me feel creative."
"Being able to share stories that are wholesome and don't force people to go against their conscience and moral code because the story is just so good and they want to see how it ends... I've been there before, especially with shows or movies but even some books. And also sharing stories that make people happy and share the light of Christ."
"I'm inspired by [how] everyone with different personalities can come together when playing instruments."
"I feel inspiration on my bus rides looking outside the window. It is just my time in the morning to think and look around."
Other answers included playing sports or doing hobbies. (And of course, Pinterest!) It's so amazing how we all feel inspired by different things, because of the unique way God made us. God wants us to glorify Him by being creative, and He's given us a whole universe of inspiration for us to explore.

Spring inspires me! In particular, the sunshine, warmer weather (without humidity), and the birds singing makes me want to be creative. That creataivity might mean I'm rearranging furniture, getting outside and planting something, or writing something new.
