Creativity brings us out of our comfort zone and gives us the opportunity to see life from a new perspective.<\/p>\n<p>The most important way to be creative is with prayer in my classroom. Not because I want a flashy gimmick to entertain the students. Not because it is more fun. The reason creativity and engaging the class in different prayers is for one reason alone to encounter God. I am a theology teacher not because I am all about the content of the Catholic Church but because I want my students to encounter God.<\/p>\n<p>In our culture it is a rarity to concentrate on God for more than a moment. In my classroom I want to fully concentrate on God. I can teach them documents until I am blue in the face but if they do not experience an encounter with God through prayer then all is lost.<\/p>\n<p>God created the heavens, the earth, mankind and love. I ask that my students use the creative talents God placed within them to connect with God on a daily basis. Creativity can bring us closer to God. I am willing to go the extra mile to bring my students as close to God as I possibly can. My purpose in life is to bring others closer to God and that&#8217;s what I do in my writing, my family and in my classroom.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why is creativity so important to me&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":12252,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1330],"tags":[675,20,38],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12250"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12250"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12250\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12252"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12250"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12250"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12250"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
