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.

He's an Engineer in a world where that's a character class with explicit levels and stats.

The version for sale is revised and expanded anyway, including a rewritten opening. If the book does well, that's encouragement to write more of it soon! Reviews are welcome too. As noted in the afterward, it's been fun and useful to share this work with all of you here as I worked on it. Update 2022/2/22: Wow, it did do well!

I do plan to do a true sequel this year, yet.

Enigma's Multiverse: Rewrite
This novel was rewritten with the following goals in mind: -A 'human' MC, that struggles underneath the weight of his past emotions and slowly grows as a person as he deals with past trauma and regret. A relatable protagonist whose actions are in line with his motivations, who may be amiable or ruthless depending on the stakes presented. (Caucasian male protagonist, set in the modern world with alien 'induction' into the cultivation world.) - Competent antagonists that have their own goals and ambitions, instead of always targeting the MC for plot convenience. - An original cultivation system. - Interesting and well fleshed out enemy archetypes. - Hell mode challenge right off the bat. - Lots of action and fighting with psychological elements. - My vision of what a cultivation novel should be like. This is the rewrite of the original Enigma's Multiverse, the first version reads more like a skeleton or a first draft as it was my very first work and I've come a long way since then. A lot of things from the original will be tweaked/enhanced, so it might just end up as a completely different work. Cover Credits- Instagram @just_anime_art_things
