A peek into my real creative worship space - where professional paints meet Dollar Tree practicality. This is where Jesus meets me every day. 🎨🙏
Welcome to Your Creative Healing Journey
Are you longing for a deeper connection with Jesus? Feeling called to express your faith in new ways? Perhaps you're carrying hurts that words alone can't process, or seeking a fresh approach to prayer and worship.
Before we dive into our creative supplies and practical details, I want to share why this journey is so close to my heart. This isn't just about art techniques or gathering materials—it's about meeting Jesus in new ways and allowing Him to heal and restore us through creative worship.

My Favorite Creative Worship Supply Collection
Sacred Supplies for Your Creative Journey
Just as every garden needs tools for tending, our creative worship practice benefits from thoughtful supplies. Before we explore the curated collections, let me share something important:
Start Where You Are
Don't feel pressured to buy everything new!
Sacred creativity flourishes in simple spaces with simple tools. Many items you already have can work perfectly:
• Mason jars, pickle jars, or dollar store vases for water
• Plastic lids from coffee or yogurt make excellent palettes
• Paper you already have works just fine
• Simple pencils and markers are beautiful tools
Remember: The Holy Spirit delights in meeting you exactly where you are, with whatever supplies you have. Your creative worship can begin with something as simple as a piece of paper and pencil. Let your collection grow naturally as you do.
For those ready to invest in dedicated supplies, I've carefully curated four collections to meet you wherever you are in your journey:

FAQ: What If I Don't Have All the Recommended Supplies?
No worries! This journey is about connecting with Jesus through creativity, not about having perfect supplies. Here are some options:
• Start with what you have - even basic paper and pencils work beautifully
• Add items gradually as you're able
• Substitute with similar items you already own
• Focus on the essential basics first
• Skip optional items that aren't crucial
Remember: Every project can be adapted! If you don't have a specific supply:
• Reach out to me for alternative suggestions
• Ask in our community for substitution ideas
• Focus on the heart of the exercise rather than exact materials
• Trust that Holy Spirit will guide your creative expression
The Amazon lists are recommendations, not requirements. Your creative worship journey can begin with the simplest tools because it's about the heart connection, not the supplies. Jesus meets us in our willingness to create with Him, whether we're using professional supplies or simple materials.
Don't let missing supplies hold you back from starting - let's get creative with what you have!
