The pic was taken with my daughter’s vetch camera. The picture is very grainy. However, I wanted to show the highlight of the cross with Christ on it . I wanted to accent it just a little so that it could look natural.
The measurements for the camera is unknown. However, its very unprofessional, but I wanted to make the best of what I had.

In this pic I was trying to show my imagination from seeing this image in the sky. The original image was more grayish and not as effective looking as I wanted it to be. The only edit I did on this picture was change the white balance from what the camera took.

My concept of creativity for doing school assignments are:
Before the Assignment
– Praying to God and asking Him what does He want me to do for this assignment
– God usually gives me a scripture from the bible, a straight forward answer, or a task outside of school that allows me to interpret and discern what He is saying to do.
During the Assignment
– Continually asking the Holy Spirit how to do the task
– Implementing what God says do until the assignment is complete.
– Asking my wife for her approval and corrections.
After the Assignment
– Giving God praise for the assignment and fixing whatever needs to be fixed.
I’m a twenty-two year old college student, African- American man, married, two children, lower income, and I live in a suburban/ rural area of Indianapolis.
I’m changing everyday. When I started school I was somewhat living in my former glory. I had a little window of success in video production and got cocky about my future. However, God has changed me completely. My creativity belongs to him. It’s not even my creativity. He works through me and I become a participant and a witness of His work. So what is done is really Him working not me. I’m just a vessel He uses. I’m changing to no longer be selfish with my gift, but to use it for Him. God is leading me to do something amazing for Him. However, I must keep this confidentially between Him, my wife and I. I can only reveal the work when He tells me to. Although, I minister through art I’m becoming a warrior for Christ. I look to approaching the work that is given in a warrior mentality. Within this approach I’m learning how to become a better servant for Christ and a humble son in God.
Why are you here?
Why are you in this class? I’m here because I wanted to break the stronghold of selfishness on my creativity. God has given me new gifts and at first, I was using it in a manner displeasing to Him. I was showboating my work and taking all the credit for it knowing that it was Him who gave it to me. I’m a media arts and science major. However, I view myself as a digital media artist in Christ. I’ve been called to creatively enhance the world by being a vessel for Christ. I continue to be here because I must be obedient to what Christ is telling me to do.
What would you change?
What I expected at the beginning of class was selfish. I was looking to become more creative. However, I’ve learned through all the work to be more submissive to what God is telling me to do. I view myself as a digital media artist in Christ. The paths He has laid out for me are storytelling, video, and web. My true limitation is my own agenda.
I know God’s plan will prevail within the time frame He has given me. What are the opportunities you have been given because of your academic experiences thus far? My time has not yet come to reveal everything God has showed me, because He has said so. I have to be obedient. I’ve seen many opportunities, but I can only do His will and the opportunity as for as a job has not yet come. The only thing beyond my control is grading criteria.
