Day Sixteen.
Verse: "Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him."
Psalm 34:8 NIV
Maybe right now, you are facing a storm. Maybe you have lost a loved one, battling a mental illness, cancer, or chronic illness. No matter what storm you are facing: God is so good and He will help you through this storm.
Lately I know I have been struggling. As you all know, I am battling chronic illnesses: fibromyalgia and arthritis. It's been really rough and it's been hard on me. I have been feeling very down because of it. I am newly diagnosed with both of them and I am having a hard time accepting my diagnosis. Because before chronic illness: I was in musicals, plays, I played golf, and did karate. Now I know I can probably never do any of those things again. It's very sad and it's hard realizing that. My whole world has changed but I have to learn to start looking at the positives. I have to be grateful and thankful. I know that God is good even when life isn't.
When we are struggling, it's hard to focus on anything but our struggles. But we have to focus on how good God is.
Here is proof that God is good:
God will love you forever. (Psalm 136:1)
God will never leave you. (Hebrews 13:5)
God will always comfort you. (Isaiah 49:13)
God will always help you and always be there for you. (Psalm 121:1-2)
God is always faithful. (Psalm 33:4)
God keeps His promises. (Deuteronomy 7:9)
God sent His only Son to die on the cross for you because He loves you so much. Death couldn't even stop God's love for you. (John 3:16)

God is good, always. God is good even when life isn't because God will carry us through life. He may not save you from your circumstances but He will help you through it. God will always be there for you.
God hasn't saved me from mental illnesses or chronic illnesses, but He has helped me through it. I wouldn't be alive if it wasn't for God's grace and goodness. God didn't save me from my struggle but He has given me His strength to face them.
You don't have to go through life alone. God is here for you. He just wants to help you. All you have to do is grab His hand. He is there waiting for you. He can't wait to see you. He can't wait to bless you.
Prayer:
Dear God,
Help me stop focusing so much on my struggles and instead focus on your goodness. Because God I know you are good so please help me to always be thankful and grateful for you. I am running into your arms God. I need you so please wrap your arms around me and carry me through this storms. I can't do life without you God so please come and grab my hand. Help me walk through life with you by my side.
In Jesus's name, I pray, Amen.

Fateless: The Silver Lining
It has been ten years of peace for the Union since the end of the great war with the eastern barbarian tribes, yet in the cold north of the Union's land, a new threat is looming. This time, an ambitious Lord is seeking to restore the yore pride of his kin, forcing the weakened Union into yet another unwanted war, as he ramps up the ranks of his army with thieves, murderers and mercenaries.* * *The temperature inside the forge was nearly twice as high as the one outside. A black-haired girl hammered a steel ingot into the shape of a blade. The heat of the steam was draining her stamina away, but her focus remained sharp as her sweat streamed down her face. Hit after hit, for hours, the sound of the hammering steel followed the rhythm of her breathing. Exhausted, she placed the blade into the water and wiped the sweat off her face using a drenched rag. Why are they screaming? Vatra dipped the rag back in the water, twisted it, and approached the window. Her mouth opened as her world shattered again into the living nightmare she had wilfully tried to forget. She bit her lips; it wasn’t a dream. The pulse of her heart rose. A cold sweat prickled her back. A mother was running, and a child was screaming. A torrent of smoke was emerging from the roof of her neighbour. Vatra’s eyes blinked. The mother lay on the ground, a spear through her back. A torch circled in the air and landed on the roof of her workshop. In the distance, a man wearing a banner well known to the world… Fateless is a philosophical medieval dark low fantasy centered on war, militaristic campaigns and geopolitical conflicts between multiple empires. This story follows the fate of Vatra, a former slave from the eastern Nar Empire who was raised in a culture far away from her own, forced into warfare against her will, and the fate of Lanaya, an ambitious half-angel exiled from her home whose existence is seen as heresy. As they wished for peace, both chose a path opposed to one another until their fate crossed. In this story where war dictates the law, love strikes them as a poisoned balm to which they grasp for with all their might, as it is in the darkest of times that the smallest flames may burn the brightest. * * * Tome 1 already completed and available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.ca/Fateless-Silver-Hugo-Emmanuel-Simard-Wallot/dp/B09LGSH1KK Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Hugo-Emmanuel-Simard-Wallot-100547579135891/ I will publish 1 chapter per week (sometimes 2 if the chapters are too short for my liking).

A confrontation with vampires leaves the mastermind bitten and eventually starting to undergo his decent into vampirism.He struggles to hide it from his family, clashing with the bloodlusting monster deep inside him. Can he resist his hunger and keep it contained? Or will he lose control and let the truth escape?------Happy Halloween y'all. Well, I'm HOPING I can get all these parts done before Halloween is over. I suppose we'll wait and see I guess.But yeah I thought of this last minute and wanted to give y'all somethin' spooky to read for the spooky month. (I dunno if it's spooky but eh)I had a big brain idea for a third Oneshot on vampire Midas, but decided to instead give him an AU of his own. This will not be a long story as I'm hoping it won't have too many chapters, but the chapters themselves will be very long.This is an alternate timeline to my main AU's story. And yes Midas and Jones are still gay for each other in this timeline. That hasn't changed 😂One other thing, this AU is probably gonna be more on the smutty side, so if that ain't your thing maybe don't read this.Anyway enjoy a bloodsucking gold boi and his golden haired boyfriend
