Day Twenty-Three.
Verses: "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." Romans 15:13
Right now, I am not okay. I have been struggling with my physical health for over a year now because of having fibromyalgia and now arthritis. Yesterday I got the news that I have a stye on my eye, the stye is so bad I have to have surgery on my eye. Tomorrow my Mom has brain surgery. To say the least, I am a mess. I am overwhelmed, in pain, exhausted, losing my hope in God, and I am not okay. But I do know that it's okay not to be okay. I do know that God is right here, beside me.
Maybe right now, you are struggling as well. Maybe right now, you are not okay and it's okay to not be okay. Maybe you are struggling with horrible circumstances and just don't know what to do. I do know that when we are struggling, God is right here, beside us.
Even when you are at your lowest, God is right beside you. He just wants to grab your hand and help you through this. Even when you want to give up on God, He will NEVER give up on you.
Last night, I was so down and depressed that I wanted to give up on God. But I knew I could never give up on God, because I love Him to much. Even though I am struggling, I am not okay, and I am mad at God. I could never give up on Him because He has never given up on me.
If you are struggling, God will give you His hope. He may not save you from your circumstances but He will give you the strength to face them. God may never heal me from my mental illnesses and chronic illnesses. But I do believe that everyday He will give me the strength and hope to face them.

I'm the bad guy!?
Do you wish you could wake up inside the mind of your favorite anime character? Well, our hero certainly did. From the moment he first laid eyes on (God's Favored Arcanist); An Isekai story centered around the adventures of sixteen-year-old Masato Yamajita as he traveled throughout the world of Echeron. And Masato had it all; He was a once in a millenium genius known as the (SSS-class Arcanist), capable of wielding every element- and using them to their fullest potential- seemingly without effort. He could boil oceans, flip mountains, freeze volcanos, and as his power grew, so did his personal connections. He became a King, an Emperor, a God... And eventually stumbled into a harem of beautiful women who loved him. So, imagine our hero's surprise when he finds himself inside the body of a character from (God's Favored Arcanist). There's just one problem. Our hero isn't Masato Yamajita, he's twelve-year-old Aren (The Devil's Duke) Ulvani: Childhood friend of Masato's first wife, Heir to the Ulvani Dukedom, and the secondary Antagonist of the first season of the anime. Our Hero isn't the Hero. He's the misunderstood Bad Guy with a tragic ending. Armed with only his knowledge of the anime, the body of Aren Ulvani, and six years before the events of the anime begin. Can our hero turn his life around or will the future play out the same way no matter what he does? (Chapters 3-16 of the first book have been removed due to KDP publishing rules. Sorry for the inconvenience.)

Dishonor
In the center of a nuclear wasteland lay the last vestiges of humanity, the City, as its numerous inhabitants called it. To leave its protective wall was certain death. Humanity was not meant to fit within the confines of a walled city. But, with a strict caste system and the threat of being sent to the lowest level of the caste system for even the smallest crime, the City has survived. Liv was born to the highest caste, Most Honored. After her father's treason and subsequent execution, her family was cast into the prison that the lowest caste, the Dishonored, lived in. Tortured and forced to work as a slave for every bite to eat, Liv desired revenge against the King that made her life a living hell and the City that held her captive. With a forced smile and a polite bow, Liv would destroy the overpopulated last bastion of humanity. Releases weekly on Tuesdays at 12:45 Eastern US Time.

There is an original old version (never been updated and does not have any chapters that have been published since 2016) available on Fiction Press and there is an old version of Dishonor (the first volume only) for sale on Amazon.
