Day One Hundred and Twelve.
Verse: "You will keep in perfect peace all those who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you." Isaiah 26:3
Finding peace in the chaos of Christmas time.
Maybe right now with Christmas almost here, you are stressed out. You have presents to buy and wrap, family to go and see, parties with friends, traveling to see family, and you feel stressed and overwhelmed. Remember: the reason for the season is Jesus and in Jesus, we can have peace.
How do we find peace in the chaos of Christmas time?
1. Start your day with spending time with God.
Each morning get up about thirty times earlier than you usually do and use that time to spend time with God. Seek God during that time by praying and reading His word. It is so good to start each day off on a good start. Because I never feel peaceful if I have to rush to get ready and then my day feels stressful. By spending time with God in the morning, it will be the perfect way to start your day feeling peaceful.
2. By fixing our eyes on Jesus.
We fix our eyes on Jesus by not thinking about our problems, circumstances, or to do list. We need to start thinking about Jesus! We need to think about God's goodness (Psalm 31:19), How God is faithful (Psalm 33:4), How God loves us (John 3:16), How God will always be there for us (Psalm 121:1-2), How God will always comfort us (Isaiah 49:13), and how with God on our side, we can do anything! (Matthew 19:26)
3. By remembering the real reason for the season: JESUS!
Christmas is not about the presents it's about celebrating the miracle of Jesus's birth. How Jesus was born of a virgin named Mary. (Matthew 1:18-25) How one day, Jesus would save everyone from their sins by dying on a cross. (John 3:16) We need to be thankful and grateful for the birth of our Savior Jesus.

Prayer:
Dear God,
I pray that this Christmas season that I remember to true reason for the season and that is the amazing birth of Your Son. I pray that as I spend time with you every morning that I grow closer to you and have your peace. I pray that you help me fix my eyes on you and not my circumstances. I pray that as I seek you by reading your word, worshiping you, talking to you, and listening for you that I build a close relationship with you. I praise you Lord for this Christmas season. I praise you for the gift that you gave the world: Your Son named Jesus. I praise you for Your Son! I praise you for your goodness, love, mercy, grace, and so much more.

Fate of Souls
Nineteen-year-old Carter Elm awakens one morning with the arrival of the System, which shuts down modern technology and brings with it magic and beasts. With a desire to use magic, Carter begins learning it, soon setting off to enter the nearby Dungeon to complete a Quest. There, Carter meets Lucas, a wounded young man with an interest in alchemy. Together, they train to conquer the Dungeon they're trapped inside, developing a deep bond of friendship and more. When they finally manage to leave the Dungeon, the world is a changed place. Most of the population has died and survivors have banded together to form new settlements and societies. Carter and Lucas settle in to the new ways of the world, becoming adventurers like many others to protect their home and hunt what's needed. Occasionally, they even find time to go on an adventure of their own or just sit back and relax for a little while. There will be: wolfboys, catboys, fairy boys, and more, and there might even a harem of them. I haven't decided for sure if there's a harem yet or not, but I've put the tag on because it's not outside of the realm of possibility. There is also a Level reset mechanic that will come into play. This is not an OP powerfantasy. While the MC will grow strong, he won't become ridiculously powerful for an adventurer and will meet others at or above his own level of might from time to time. There will be times he struggles, fails, or needs to retreat. There is no posting schedule. Chapters will go up when I post them.
