Fran&Chuck

Meet Fran and Chuck. Tonight, at my wonderful boyfriends house, Christmas was celebrated early. A part of my gift from his parents was a special kit. In this kit were the tools needed to create little creatures made out of fat pipe cleaners and other small peices that are similar to the peices found to make up the popular Mr. Potato Head's face.

Out of the kit these two were made. Out of this kit, these two were born.

And I was their creator.

I made them exactly how I want them to be and there are things that drive me absolutely wild about each. There are the plainly observable characteristics that everyone can see i.e., Fran is blue and purple, Chuck is yellow and white. Fran is tall with crazy hair, Chuck has large feet and bulging eyes. Those things are plainly seen and there is nothing I wish to change in either of them...there is no way they could get any better.

They are my original masterpeice.

Just as you are with God.

As I was forming each of my new friends, it suddenly hit me. This is the fascination, excitment, creativity, and joy He goes through every time a new human being  is made.  He felt this way as He was making me.

There are things he made about you specifically that everyone can see. Your hair is curly. Your face is round. Your tummy is bigger than you would prefer it to be. Your eyes are brown instead of the blue that you've always wanted. You wear birth-control glasses.

There is nothing Christ would change about how He made you. The hair that you flatten everyday because you dont like how it flips, the image that you frown about in the mirror, the glasses you wish you could replace... He goes CRAZY about you for that.  He sits there thinking with his angels, "Yeah, you see that? I thought of that. I'm wild about her."

He calls you beautiful, because you are made exactly how He wanted you to be.

Think about it for me, ok?

I wish you all a fabulous Christmas season.

love and word,

Ash.
