If I were to die today, here's what I'm taking to Heaven: Rebecca's Inventory: Part 1
Updated: Mar 29, 2020
We are living in the time of COVID 19 a strain of Coronavirus that has pressed the whole world down to our knees. It's as if God is fed up with our fighting and bickering that He's sent us all to our rooms. EVERYTHING has been disrupted and it prompted me to think, if God were to come back now would I be ready? Am I packed? Let's see, if I were to die today, what am I taking to Heaven: Without referencing my Bible or any of my notes, here's a sketch of my inventory:
Scripture
1 John 1:9 - If I were to name my sins, he is faithful and just to forgive me of my sins and to cleanse me from all unrighteousness.
John 3:16 - For God so loved the world that he gave His only son that all who believes in Him shall have everlasting life.
Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not unto thy own understanding. In everything you do acknowledge Him, and he will direct your path.
Proverbs 23 - The lord is my shepherd I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul. (something something something ) for His namesake, Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I fear no evil for though art with me, thy rod and staff comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil, my cup run over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever, Amen!
Psalms 1 - Blessed in the man who walketh not in the council of the ungodly nor sit in the seat of sinners, stand in the way of scoffers, (but his delight is in the law of the Lord?)
Genesis 1:1 - In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. And the earth was without form and void. And the Spirit of Lord hovered over the surface of the deep.
Romans 6: 1-2 - What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase? May it never be! How shall we who have died to sin still live in it. Or do you not know that those that have been baptized into Christ have been baptized into his death.
John 1:1 - In the beginning was the word and the word was God and the word with God. And the word became living and breathing....
Jeremiah 29:12 - For I know the plans I have for you. Says the Lord. Plans to prosper you, to give you a future and a hope.
Psalms 66:18 - If you regard iniquity in your heart God will not hear you.
Revelations 11:12 - We are delivered by the word of our testimony.

Stories in Sketch
The Fall -- In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth and the was a plush biological harmonious ecosystem that had dinosaurs and all manner of life. After the creation of the Earth there was an Angelic war which resulted in Satan and a 3rd of the Angelic host being cast out of heaven. Satan came to earth and caused the Earth's destruction and the ICE AGE. The spirit of the Lord hovered over the surface of the deep ice and created new life. He restored the Earth in 5 or 6 days, but on the 6th day he created man and on the 7th day he rested. God created Adam and placed him Eden. He gave him a job to rule the newly restored earth. At some point after, God put Adam to sleep and fashioned the Woman from Adam's rib to help Adam rule. God instructed Adam not to eat of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. If he did he would die. Adam and The Woman somehow became separated and The Woman had a conversation with Satan who persuaded her to eat the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, lying to her, saying that she wouldn't die. He knew that The Woman didn't fully understand the concept of death (with is separation from God). The Woman tasted the fruit and brought the fruit back to Adam, and she persuaded her husband to eat the fruit. They became knowledgeable, ashamed and frightened and ultimately, separated from God. God looked for Adam. Adam said that he was scared because he was naked. God asked, "Who told you, you were naked?" Adam said the woman, the woman said, the serpent and God cursed them all. The serpent had to crawl on its belly and was doomed to be defeated by the seed of the woman. The woman was cursed to have pain during childbearing and to desire her husband, and to have her husband rule over her. The man was cursed to work the ground until he dies, and to be at odds with his wife. After this, Adam named his woman, Eve.

Principles
God sent His son to die for me, to be the propitiation of my sin, to satisfy His wrath upon humanity, so that I and all who choose to believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God | God the Son, may have a right to the tree of life.
We are only commanded to live under two rules in this life - Love God with all thy heart and soul and love thy neighbor as thyself.
Because I'm a friend of God He has told me everything that the God the Father has revealed in him.
Jesus lives in me as the Shekinah Glory.
God the Father is the Author or "the vine dresser, God the Son is the Executioner of God's word for humanity, God the Holy Spirit is the Revealer or inspiration of God's word, or the breath of life.
When I am abiding in Christ at that very moment I am incapable of sinning.
This is just a snippet of what I've readily available at this very moment. I imagine this is everything that correlates to where I am in my life at this moment. These are my foundation and lifelines that keep me afloat in the tumultuous time period of lack - lack of money, husband, physical energy. I struggle daily desiring these things. Yet I take comfort knowing that God has me exactly where I'm supposed to be. I believe he is conditioning and constantly trying to break my mind so that I can be completely and totally depend on Him. I believe he is intimately focused on conditioning me so that I may be conformed to the image of His son Christ Jesus.
