Hi! I'm Eren Mckay and I would like to thank you for reading my blog. I provide helpful tips for families in their daily lives and educational resources for teachers.

I found this video of the making of 3D street art and found it very inspiring.
If you go through this blog you’ll find artwork everywhere. I love creating the feeling of joy through the images that exist. Art is an expression of inner beauty and depth.
Do you ever have that desire to get into the flow of being inspired? Being inspired is a wonderful thing. It helps us find an inner joy that isn’t found through outward achievements. Whatever the goals that God has for your life- you need to have that inner inspiration to keep going, to keep moving, to grow and to reach new heights in your life. Take time off to find that inside your soul. God wants to inspire you. Let Him do so.
What inspires you?
All forms of art are inspirational. Surround yourself with all kinds of art. Whether it be music, literature, graphic arts. Even cooking is an art.
Immerse your self in the beauty of art and you will discover feelings and thoughts new and old that will bring out joy and peace. I try to listen to God’s voice when I look at art or even what He has created. This makes this moment of meditation even deeper and calming because I’m listening to my Maker tell me what He wants out of my life. What He wants me to do and how to go about doing it.
Do you ever meditate on heaven and what it will be like?
When my grandma was in the hospital I would read to her from the book of revelation. She told me she loved it when I read the description of heaven to her that we find in Revelation 21 and 22. She is now in heaven and thinking of how much joy she is in heaven makes me feel a certain peace and happiness.
So what about you? What kind of art inspires you?

Inspiration is joyful and it can be more than just art. Blog posts, just as this one, can be considered art, as it is creative writing.
Any work of the hands can also be considered inspirational, from great works of architecture, to the home handyman who has created something that he can stand back and admire, in the knowledge that his hands, and the help of God, has produced something and he takes great joy in it.

Hi Sire,
This is very true. We can see art and creativity everywhere we look.
I need to stop each day and immerse myself into meditating on beauty. It’s so essential for my well being. Taking that time to breathe, to contemplate is priceless.
Blessings,
Eren

Actually Eren, as an afterthought, what strikes me as true beauty is God’s handiwork, which I see every time I go for a walk with nature.

Wow, that video was amazing and inspiring.
It is interesting to see Man’s (& Women’s) desire to create. It is an innate desire in our souls to be like the one whom created us.
I too see beauty and am awed by nature, but truthfully, I am in more awe of God’s endowment of his likeness upon humanity. He is a creator and a giver, and we are happiest when we undertake those endeavors with Him.

@Sire - Yes nature is very inspirational. Living in an apartment I don’t get too much contact with nature. But when I do, I feel a lot of peace. I imagine that heaven will be like this. We will be surrounded by heavenly nature.
@Jason - Exactly. It makes me very happy to know that this characteristic of creating is a part of the divine nature that He imparted to us. Reading the first chapter of Genesis we see that He takes joy in creating. He gives us this same joy when we create.
This is why I’m always trying to separate a block of time to be free – free to create and be inspired. Pressure kills the creative process. I make a conscious effort to stay away from pressure as it only hinders my creativity (personally).
Thank you both for such insightful comments.
Blesings,
Eren

The first video clip is totally awesome! I love the creation and creativity of the 3D street art. I do appreciate art and this one is a hell of great art I’ve seen.
This is one wonderful experience for me ever!

Hi Girish,
Yes it is when I allow my soul to be creative- that is when I am most happy. All of us should allow our souls to have moments like this and to explore the artist inside of us. Sometimes we get so caught up in the hustle and bustle of life that we end up not giving ourselves that gift.
Turning winds,
I’m glad that this video touched you. I was very impressed with it myself. It wowed me more than any other 3D art I have seen.
Blessings my friends,
Eren
