Today was the last day that me and Elizabeth get to spend together, since she heading home to California for Christmas tomorrow. I will see her when I am back for the Onething Conference, but that will be a pretty busy time. So, we went on a mini-roadtrip. I couldn't find the place I wanted to take her (a sunflower field), but we found some horses and got out to take pictures. They were so funny, the brown one we named Cinnamon, and he walked right over to us. He started sniffing me and nudging at me, so I took that as a sign that he liked me. :) So, we nuzzled nose to nose, and took pictures. The white horse got jealous, and walked toward us, but then Cinnamon got mad and protective of me and Elizabeth, and started growling/grunting and even bit the white horse's neck! I don't know much about horses, so I decided that they were getting feisty with each other, we should probably not pet them anymore...and it was raining. The other 2 pix are just of my coffee cup on my moon roof, I thought it looked cool. And then under the red bridge, Elizabeth is rocking out on the remnants of Norma (see my blog from when I first got here...).
With all of the book of Revelation stuff that we have been study, I decided to write down some information from the letters that John wrote to the 7 churches. First, who Jesus says He is, and then, the reward to 'he who overcomes.' Ever since I have been here, I have been getting a lot of words from people that I will be an overcomer and that I will rule and reign with Jesus. That's not something to take lightly. So, here is what I categorized from Revelation 2 and 3:
Jesus IS:
Him who holds the seven stars in his right hand and walks among the seven golden lamp stands.
Him who is the First and the Last, who died and came to life again.
Him who has the sharp, double-edge sword.
Son of God, whose eyes are like blazing fire and whose feet are like burnished bronze.
Him who holds the seven spirits of God and the seven stars.
Him who is holy and true, who holds the key of David, what He opens no one can shut, and what he shuts, no one can open.
The Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God's creation.
And here is what He says about 'he who overcomes:
I (Jesus) will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.
Will not be hurt at all by the second death.
I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give him a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to him who receives it.
I will give authority over the nations...I will also give him the morning star.
Will be dressed in white. I will never blot out his name from the book of life, but will acknowledge his name before my Father and His angels.
I will make a pillar in the temple of my God. Never again will he leave it. I will write on him the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the New Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from my God; and I will also write on him my new name.
I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I overcame and sat down with my Father on his throne.
I don't understand all of that, but what I do is already a lot to chew on.
