Thoughts on Christmas

I've been thinking about Christmas . . .  Thinking about God, Thinking about the too-good-to-be-true  miracle of Jesus Christ, God's only son becoming flesh and walking among us . .  to show us how to live, to relate to our struggles, to show us how to love, and to inevitably die for our sins hung tortured on a cross . .  with nails through His wrists and feet, and pieces of His flesh on His back ripped apart by flogging . . .  pieces of His soul and His dignity,  any His psychological strength and will being ripped away from Him as He was mocked, insulted, lied about, misunderstood, not accepted . . .  and He was PERFECT.  Jesus lived the perfect life.  How horrible and sad He must have felt to know that no matter what He did . .  . people rejected Him . .  how horrible for the world . . that even when someone who was completely good . . . even then a person not go through this life without pain because the world really doesn't like good, kindness, or love, but the world is influenced with deception and evil . . .  the world rejects truth, the world rejects light, and the world rejects the salvation that was given through the blood of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior! Praise Be His Name!

I say "Merry Christmas" to people when I am working (retail) because I believe it is a friendly greeting . .  and in some way . .  I am wishing that even if they do not celebrate Christmas I wish them a good life . .  and a good day on Christmas.  My secret best wish for them at Christmas, however, is that they find real true happiness for this life and in the next . . . and of course the only way this is possible is if they find Jesus  :  )  So I feel I must say Merry Christmas . . it is the least I can do on Christmas.  So many people say "Happy Holidays" but I much prefer to say Merry Christmas . . . If my job had a problem with it then I would have to decide whether to keep saying it or not . .  or else perhaps worst case scenario- lose my job . ..  but as things stand I am not in that predicament . . .  I have been before but am not at this moment . .  and so I choose to say "Merry Christmas" . . .  because every time I say "Merry Christmas" I feel free . .  and every time I have tried to bring myself to say the politically correct "Happy Holidays" I feel like a piece of my soul has died and I feel defeated.  But when I say "Merry Christmas", I feel like I am free to express myself as part of God's Creation!  I know that I am created by God, and so my purpose in life is to give Him glory. 

Some may feel that the 'Happy Holidays/Merry Christmas' controversy should not be a controversy at all . .  but I do not mean to make it a controversy . . . I just mean to express my true nature as a creation of God . . .  just as with being a Creationist, I do not mean to cause controversy  . . .  but I am more afraid of creating controversy between myself and my God . . than "creating controversy" between myself and just people.  God is God and people are just people . . just part of His Creation . .  and so I will say "Merry Christmas" because I can . .  and because it makes me happy to . .  just like it makes me happy to talk about Creation Science . .

I love God and it is in my created nature to say "Merry Christmas" and in some way when I say it . . .  it is like an invite and a blessing to all those who hear it . . so that maybe . . just maybe . .  when they do hear it . . . they will think . .  hmm . . . I wonder what this thing called "Christmas" is all about? . . . and if they would find out the meaning . . . they will find life . . .  eternal life in Jesus Christ . . .  - and THAT is the meaning of Christmas.

And so  . . . though it may even feel like Spiritual Warfare just to get the words out our mouths, "Merry Christmas" I would risk anything to say it . . .  because no matter what job or status I have in this world . . . it is all NOTHING if I cannot acknowledge my Creator especially on the day He gave Himself to us to save my soul and the souls of the whole world.  And so, whatever job or organizations or status or responsibilities I have in the rest of my life . . . I hope to NEVER stop saying "MERRY CHRISTMAS!"


Merry Christmas to you all!  May God Bless You Abundantly,

ABOUT ME

Hi There . . Creation chick here . . . I just wanted to let everyone know . . thanks for supporting me and friending . . subscribing to me . . etc . . . it's actually been a really good outlet for me to get some of my thoughts out there and share with people who have common ideals as me . . . I really have been encouraged by how many God fearing Christians are in there twenties or around that generation . . just like me . . we really need to stick together . . because we are really going to determine what happens next in this country . . in the world . . in history . . etc . . . I just wanted to give you a little personal insight into my life . . and I know I may be shooting myself in the foot . . . because yes . . . there are always people who take advantage of people who put themselves out there or share personal details . . . I really made the Creation Chick . . so that no one would know who I was . . and I could really say what I thought . . for real . . not just pressured into it . . you see I've had trying times in my life . . . much of it is not easy to understand . . and much of it is not easy to understand even for me . . . which is interesting that people go through things that they do not understand . . well . . I'm one of them . . just like everyone else . . I don't have all the answers for everything . . I have genuine fears . . and I have times that I just simply can't make it anymore . . . that's when God has come in to my life . . but recently . . I have felt that God has been being 'a little tough' on me . . as I have been saying to friends, family, and counselors along the way . . I feel like God is encouraging me to be strong and confident . . . and not have to feel like I am going to die and the world is going to end and I am going to get fired . . etc . . etc . . etc . . every time I lose my keys . . He is trying to help me to have peace in myself and . . of course . . to not lose my keys so much . . hee hee . . . but peace in myself . . wow! that's something that I could go on and on and on and on about . . . I really think that's one of the true reasons that we are put on earth . . to find ourselves . . to find peace with ourselves . . . some try to find it IN ourselves . . but the reality . . the real truth of the matter . . . is that . . . we can only find peace with and for ourselves . . only in Jesus Christ . . . this is something that is difficult to accept .. . because by our very nature as human beings we want to do things ourselves . . . I'm telling you right now . . I have yelled, screamed, cried . . argued with and tried to disobey God . . when He has been showing me something that I need to be doing . . and I am scared to death . . because I am afraid that He is wrong . . that He doesn't understand quite all the angles of the situation . . that He doesn't understand my feelings . . that He doesn't understand my limit of stress or my limit to what I can do at this point in my life . . .that He doesn't understand that I can't afford to lose friends or money right now . . just so I can take a chance yet again on an invisible Harvey-like pal . . who yes . . has always been there for me . . but it has always been on faith . . and what about when my faith is shaky . . and what about the fact that I am secretly scared to death that this might be the one time that He's going to let me down . . . forget about me . .. or be high and mighty . . not care about me . . why should he? . . . I'll admit . . it's difficult . . but can I honestly say that God has EVER let me down about ANYTHING? . . . no . . . He hasn't . . . and that's difficult to say . . because humans are used to being in control . . . and the fact that God always knows best and has NEVER EVER MESSED UP on ANYTHING at all! the fact that He NEVER has a hidden motive like people usually do . . the fact that He NEVER tries to be nice to us . . until the moment of weakness . . and then totally change and use us and take advantage of us for everything we are . . . the fact that he NEVER will even ignore us . . EVEN IF WE KEEP BEING ANNOYING AND PRAYING ABOUT LOST KEYS LIKE 10 TIMES A DAY! . . . I mean seriously .. If God helped me find my keys every time I prayed because I was an emotional wreck trying to find my way around my lonely apartment with No ties to family or friends or any kind of sense of direction or where to turn next . . being constantly plagued by flashbacks . . post-traumatic stress . . feelings of guilt . . shame . . hurt . . insecurity . . fear . . hoplessness . . restlessness . . . suicidal thoughts . . . extreme thoughts of anger toward people who hurt me . . and everyone who stood around and let it happen . . . WHICH WAS EVERYONE in my book . . because NO ONE DID ANYTHING TO HELP ME . . so that means . . EVERYONE let it happen . . . and in my eyes . . I had condemned the whole world . . no chance of love or friendship . . caring . . or anything that involved trust and sharing between people . . . get an apartment all alone . . . go to a job where I don't ever talk to a living soul . . and wait to die . . that was my goal . . and I mean I was a Christian . . the weird thing . . is that I really want to talk about everything that happened to me . . . but if I did . . I wouldn't be about to be sane for work tomorrow . . so I can't right now . . . so please don't guess at what happened or if you know . . don't comment . . please . . it would be too difficult for me to take emotionally . . what I'm saying is that I'm not better than anyone else . . but I'm certainly no less than anyone else either . . and I'm going to state my opinion just the same as everyone else has a right to state there's . . . but what I'm saying is that God has given me new life . . . I have joy now . . where there was none before . . I can sit alone without thinking terrible negative thoughts about myself . . I can relax . . I can relate to actual human beings . . people that I don't even know say I'm sweet or funny . .or kind or whatever . . the reality is that that is the love and the mercy of Jesus showing through me . . I am nothing without Him . . and I have never been anything without Him . . I just thought I was . . before I started to learn about the REAL reason for living . . it's almost like a mystery that has to be unfolded to us because . . this was not the original way things were supposed to be! you know? . . . people who say that there shouldn't be so much pain and suffering in the world . . and that the world seems like the fittest survive and that only the strong and mean get ahead . . . well they are right! . . that is the way the world is going . . and if you look at how the world is going . . you might even think for a second that yes . . perhaps the tragic and uneventful reality is that there never was a purpose for life . . and that all the stories of love . . honor . . bravery . . hope . . purpose . . .kindness gentleness . . . extreme courage . . loyalty and goodness .. . perhaps these ideals . . are just all a mistake and a figment of our imagination . . right? . . . WRONG! we are created by God! He is our Creator, Redeemer, and our Friend . . . and we live in a fallen world! it's like the original connection with the Creator has been lost and we have forgotten our mission here on earth . . in the mean time . . we have gone on having our families and our lives . . but we have forgotten we have a mission! a mission to fulfill! and that mission is to constantly look to our true commander in chief - God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit . . and constantly look to God for direction, guidance, hope, strength, encouragement, will, faith, and EVERYTHING WE NEED TO carry our the smallest tasks . . and to carry out the most awesome and unbelievable missions in His name!

Well .. . please pray for me .. . .I 'm going through some stuff that I can't handle . . . and I really need comfort and support from others . . . unfortunately . . what I'm going through is so personal and painful that I really can't bring myself to talk about it . .. but at least I acknowledged there is something there . . . God Bless You All,

Salvation in Christ Jesus!

Hi there, I'm the Creation Chick! I made this page specifically to let you know that if you are wondering, God does love you . . and he wants to be a part of your life! Please don't hesitate to comment, email me, find me on facebook, PMme, or whatever . . I would love to share with you the love of Jesus whether you agree with me on other subjects or not. I am not worthy to receive God's grace . . . . and so when I help bring other people to Jesus, it helps me to know that I have helped someone else to receive this wonderful gift as well. And truly, that's what it is, A FREE GIFT! Jesus stands at the door and knocks. All you have to do is to let Him in!

If you want to be saved, you need to believe that God is the one true God, and that Jesus was who He said He was, God incarnate, you have to believe that Jesus died for your sins, and you have to admit that you are in fact a sinner and you need God's forgiveness. You must trust in Jesus for your only way of Salvation.

Jesus said "I am the way, the truth, and the light. No one comes to the Father, except through me."

I would encourage you to tell God that you are a sinner and tell Him that you are sorry and thank Him for sending His only Son into the World "so that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but shall have eternal life!"

It is true that even the demons know the name of Jesus and shudder, and that there will be many on the day of judgement to whom Jesus will say . . "I never knew you", But to know that you have Salvation in Christ, you must confess that Jesus is God and He IS the only way to Heaven!

It is very simple, and God WILL change you once you decide to make this choice. But make it quickly because no one knows the hour that He will return. Jesus is preparing a place for us in a new heaven and a new earth. There will be no more tears there. He will dry them all and He will comfort us. And we will serve Him forever in perfect harmony.
