Day Twenty-Five.
Verse: "Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe." Hebrews 12:28
Yesterday my Mom's brain surgery went really well and she is doing good! Praise God!
I know sometimes, when we are struggling, it's easy to blame God rather than praise God. I know for me, I struggle with being thankful due to being in so much pain from fibromyalgia and arthritis. But I also know I have so many blessings to praise God for.
Here are some things I am thankful for today:
1. My Mom's brain surgery was a success.
2. Mom is doing good after her surgery.
3. I have a very supportive family who loves me and helps me.
4. I got to see my Mom in the hospital today.
5. My cat Little cuddled with me last night!
6. I found some gloves on Amazon that really help my arthritis pain in my hands.
7. My neck and back heating pad really helps my back pain.
8. My cat Spike cuddled with me last night.
9. I am seeing a new doctor soon to help with my physical pain. I really hope he can help me.
10. I have a very close relationship with God!
11. Jesus died for me and rose again! (John 3:16)
12. Jesus heard my prayers for my Mom!
13. I have so many amazing readers and followers who love my books (like you who are reading ;) I am thankful for you)
14. My book: "Jesus Saves Daily Devotions" is being published and will be out on Amazon soon!
15. Even through my physical pain I have stayed in college and I am still doing college.
16. I have all A's in my college classes.

17. In the fall, I will be officially be a sophomore in college!
18. Even though I am still struggling with physical pain, I am alive today and sharing the word of God!
If you struggle with being thankful, start writing down a list everyday of things you are thankful. When I started my list, I thought I wouldn't have many thing to be thankful for but it turns out I have 18 things today to be thankful for. You don't have to have 18 things to be thankful for, if you only have Jesus to be thankful for, He is enough!
We can always be thankful for:
God will love you forever. (Psalm 136:1)
God will never leave you. (Hebrews 13:5)
God will comfort you. (Isaiah 49:13)
God will 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)
Jesus died on the cross for YOU! Jesus rose again and defeated death! Now we can have a personal relationship with God and go to Heaven! (John 3:16)
As my Dad always says: "you find what you are looking for." So instead of focusing on our problems, we should be focusing on our blessings and on God. We find what we are looking for: if we spend time looking for things to be thankful for, we will find them!
I know it's much easier said than done. But if we will start making lists everyday of things we are thankful for, start reading the Bible everyday, and start praying everyday. It will make a world of difference. I will do it with you!
So let's start praising God Today!
Prayer:
Dear God,
I know right now I am struggling to be thankful. Help me as I start to make lists of things I am thankful for, spend time in Your Word, and spend time talking to you that I become thankful and grateful. Even when I am struggling, I know I always have you to count on and be thankful for.

The White Rabbit: Book 2
In the Urillian Empire, the Empress Xandra rules three-quarters of the planet Xren from her home in the capital of the Earth Continent. Both the fire and water peoples have fallen under her might after a series of wars stretching back three centuries. Earth elves, under Xandra's rule, have spread throughout the planet and established colonies, and are, by all accounts, enjoying what seems to be a prosperous and happy existence. But not everyone in Uril is happy. The holy books speak of elves as the Chosen People of Thesis, tasked with guiding and protecting the lower races. For some people, this scripture has been interpreted to designate their life as one on the lowest rungs of society. Humans have been reduced to a slave class, and serve their elven masters under Xandra's rule, kept at bay by the constant fear of the dreaded Emerald Knight, and their own perceived weakness. Humans do not lead long lives, nor do they possess the wisdom, power, or magical acumen of their elven masters. But there is hope. A group of people have banded together to fight against Xandra, her Knight, and her empire. They call themselves the "Knights of Order" united under the principle idea that Xandra's reign has brought chaos unto Xren, and they wish to restore order. These Knights are led by a man named Xaxac Brigaddon, spoken of as a legend. They say that when the moons are full, some humans transform into powerful beasts. They say that Xaxac is the most powerful warrior on Xren, that in his youth he was enslaved and forced to fight other humans to the death in a bloodsport called "cage fighting", that he could not be touched and held the world championship title for three years running until he faked his own death and escaped his master to join the resistance. They say that he has friends in high places- noblemen, pirates, and the devil himself. They say that if you can find him, he can ferry you to freedom in places where the Earth Elves fear to tread. They say that he is immune to magical attack, and his eyes shine like the silver moon. They say that he is descended from Quizlivian Brigaddon, one of the humans who helped the demon Magnus escape a god. They say that if you want to walk the Path of Order, you should follow the White Rabbit.Come and watch the transformation from human boy to Knight of Order: The life and times of Xaxac OfAgalon OfLangil Brigaddon. Content Warning: This work is based on the real experiences of human trafficing survivors. Xaxac's origins are based on true events, and they are presented realisitcally; this includes but is not limited to: isolation, gaslighting, emotional and sexual abuse, and grooming tactics. This work is meant to hold a mirror up to society; it is based on the real of experiences of people who have experienced slavery and/or abuse. It is an adult work and probably should not be read by anyone under the age of 18. If you are a survivor of human trafficing and/or abuse, your feedback is welcome, but please do not read this if you think it may trigger your trauma. I did not write this with the intention of harming anyone, but rather to provide accurate representation for a group that does not normally get it in the hopes of changing the zeitgeist. I would like to see a world where more people understand what these experiences are like, so that real survivors do not have to deal with microagressions from an ignorant public. Reader discretion is advised. This book does not display these elements as heavily as book 1.
