It's one thing to you, but a COMPLETELY different thing to me

I have officially made it through the first day of second semester! It was very interesting to see people and the classes that I am in. I think on of my favorite classes is going to be my Art Appreciation. Honestly coming into it, I was thinking that it would be boring except when we get to go to cool art galleries. To my surprise I enjoyed hearing about how and how people take art in different ways. For me as a Business major, I'm going to look at one piece of art very differently then say an Art Major looking at the same piece. Many things make this so, like where you are from and some of your life experiences. The way you look at things come from your own experiences and that effects how you view things

Same as in art I believe that this is so in our relationship with Christ. Some people have gone through so much, myself included that only God could have brought them through. Based on that and more intentional investigation of the faith is how we have come to believe and trust in God and have that burning desire to worship him all the rest of our days. Now if you were to talk maybe to a junior higher who hasn't really gone through any big struggles they may say that they are followers of Christ but their view on it may not be like that of one who has had no other choice but to fully rely on God. My point is that we all view things from our own eyes that have seen things in different ways. What we have seen or heard effects how we take things in and ultimately who we decide to become. 

All that said I have also come to learn that art in many forms are used for Christ. We look at a piece of art and it may be of Christ helping a little child and it shows of his great love for us. Explaining that to someone else is an artists way of sharing Christ. Or we may just see a picture of creation or an abstract sculpture that causes a person to start to think about what the artists is saying or what maybe the underlined message the Holy Spirit has put for one specific person through that art piece. This further causes me to believe that there are many different ways to serve Christ and share his love with others. There is no black and white way of doing it.
