charla dixon /// creative and arts
What do you want to be when you grow up?“ Before college, I had one answer. Disney. I was the crazy disciplined Waco kid who honestly studied, practiced, wrote the studios, and passionately pursued working for Disney my whole life. Then the summer before college, God called me in an entirely different direction. My first reaction was resistance out of fear, insecurity, and my limited concept of ministry. But God didn’t let up. He changed me. I kept developing what He put in me with design at University of North Texas. Later He connected the dots as He coached my heart.
Over the years, God embedded a passion for Him and His glory and gave me a deep love for this generation and His Church. I got to see the power of honest hearts engaged together in His Word walking by faith. Whether serving in a college ministry in College Station, a bible club with refugee kids, or a church in Dallas, every season showed another side of His grace for what it truly is. He forged something deeper than ability or any opportunity. He took an insecure kid and built a love.
In my role here at Harris Creek through design, and art installations, I get to make God’s Word and purposes known and support the next generation of creatives. The art is never the goal. The beauty in watching Jesus work is. He chooses the unlikely to do the unexpected so He can do the unimaginable. Disney was just one of the dreams God chose to break in order to do something greater than I imagined. One thing I know…He’s better.
