Day One Hundred and Thirty-Seven.
Verses: "'Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; And hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us. perseverance, character; and character, hope.'"
Romans 5:3-5
A few days ago while I was watching church online, my pastor spoke an amazing message that I want to share with you. I am sure you have all struggled with pain. That was what the message was about. But my pastor said: "When we go through trials and pain, instead of saying; 'why God? Why is this happening to me?' But we change our mindset to say: 'even if I am going through trials and pain, I will trust in the Lord. Even if my circumstances are horrible, I will put my hope and faith in Jesus. So no matter what we face, we can and will get through it by changing our mindset to say: even if.'"
Jesus knew we would have many trials on this earth. He tells us in John 16:30-33: "In this world, you will have trouble, but take heart, I have overcome the world." So Jesus knew we would struggle. We shouldn't be surprised when we go through trials because Jesus already told us we would. But instead of feeling sorry for ourselves, running away from God, doubt God, or question God. We can say: "Even if horrible things happen to me, I will still put my faith, hope, and trust in God."
By changing our mindset, we can have hope, peace, joy, and rest even while we are going through trials. Because we can find true hope, joy, peace, etc, in Jesus. So we need to run to Jesus instead of away from Him. We need to seek Jesus by reading His word, listening to Him, praying to Him, and worshiping Him even when we don't want to. Because as we seek Jesus, He will draw near to us (Psalm 125:1-2). We can change our mindset with God's help because with God on our side, we can do anything! (Matthew 19:26)

Prayer:
Dear God,
I pray that as we seek you that you will draw near to us. I pray, Lord that you change our mindset to trust in you even if things don't go our way. I pray that you bless us with everything we need to face whatever we are facing. I pray that you grab our hand Lord, and walk through life with us. We need you Lord and we love you. I pray that as we go through this tough time with covid-19 going stronger, help us know that you are stronger. I pray that you heal everyone that is hurting. I pray that you bless everyone who is working with strength and healing. I praise you Lord because you are so good to us Lord. I praise you for your mercy, love, and goodness.
I thank you for all my many blessings and for Your Son.
In Jesus's name, I pray, Amen!

The Ascension Age
The Big Bang!It’s the phenomenon known for being responsible for the Universe’s birth. Except for those who were religious fanatics, most people had already come to at least partially accept this theory.As years passed, more proof that the Big Bang was the phenomenon that gave birth to the Universe continued to appear. At some point, religions ceased to exist as the claims of science simply couldn’t be refuted anymore. Humanity had finally accepted as a whole that in this Universe, such a thing as gods didn’t exist… or did they?However, humanity would soon find out that the Big Bang was just part one. That infinitesimally small point where the Big Bang originated… was still there! The Second Big Bang, which had a purpose unlike the first one, was about to begin.

Wizards of the Otherworldly Court: End of the Five, Twenty-three, and Twenty-nine Years Story
Alternate titles: - Five, Twenty-Three, Twenty-Nine Years - 5, 23, 29 "Dad? I think I got a really bad fever, why do I still feel fine?" "It feels cold..." Five years ago, Owen became a Court Wizard in search of his father who was lost to the unknown three years prior. But that wasn't the beginning of the story. Maybe it began twenty-three years ago when Ronald Bell and Joshua Ruze saved the Illyer family. Or perhaps, it all started twenty-nine years ago, when Ronald, the son of the wealthiest merchant, became a Court Wizard. Well, it doesn't matter anymore, for the story five, twenty-three, and twenty-nine years ago shall now meet its end. 2nd book written in the Wizards of the Otherworldly series. Read Wizards of the Otherworldly Court: Alicia first. This story is split into two 'Collections,' Ronald's Collection and Owen's Collection, each centering around those Court Wizards. Crossposted with WordPress site, Wattpad, Sufficient Velocity, and Rainobu. Wizards of the Otherworldly Court is a fantasy story about the Otherworldly Court, an inter-dimensional (or world-hopping, you get the idea) organization made up of people of all ages, gender, and race from many parallel or different worlds. They are granted elemental-like magic powers and called themselves 'Court Wizards'. They are tasked to watch over the many worlds they come across and step into these worlds on 'missions' to preserve the balance, life, order, anything to make said worlds better places in the shadows but may reveal themselves if necessary. However, these missions may partially or even fully oppose their nature, personal interests, and ideals. Yet, most of the Court Wizards are aware and willing to complete even the worst missions that would shatter their true selves that they will never cast aside regardless, either growing or regressing because of it. Basically, it's isekai to multiple worlds but each book after Wizards of the Otherworldly Court: Alicia focuses primarily on one world while also discussing its lore in detail. Book Alicia is the introduction containing the essential worldbuilding of the Otherworldly Court universe you need to know while shoving in as many characters and worlds as I can. Also, each book will have a different main character, sometimes more than one in a single book, like Jojo.

Elizabeth, Elizabeth
An astroid miner encounters pirates attempting to commandeer his processing ship, Elizabeth, while he was away responding to other miner's mayday. The miner (Jeffrey Sokolov) and his Artificial Intelligence (Elizabeth - both the ship and AI were named after Jeffrey's late wife,) outsmart the pirates, capture them and bring them back to the Earth/Moon station - where they attempt to turn them over to the Naval ship, Wanigan. However Wanigan is in the process of mutiny. The executive officer of Wanigan sends a small squad of Marines under command of a petty officer. The petty officer realizes an opportunity, convinces Sokolov to join her cause, and together with the AI (Elizabeth) re-take the Navy ship, and restore her captain to command. In order to perform these acts, Sokolov and the ship Elizabeth are drafted into Navy Reserve. The captain of the Navy ship Wanigan re-recruits Jeffrey to act in a secret capacity, he is given an almost unlimited credit, the squad of Marines that came aboard to arrest Jeffrey, and the petty officer. Piracy and corruption are overly common, but Jeffrey, his team and his AI defeat the enemy, only to have it resurface shortly afterward. Aliens from several surrounding regions have found Earth and the solar system to be a rich source of mineral wealth. They secretly tried to manipulate humans to doing their will, and Jeffrey discovered that they were the organizers and force behind the piracy. Jeffrey and the navy take on the new menace, but new tools, including faster-than-light travel become available. Jeffrey and Elizabeth improve on the Navy's technical innovations, incorporate alien technology into their ship, and continue to dominate the region infested with aliens with somewhat superior and somewhat inferior technology. This is the saga of a technically sophisticated man, his smart and loyal artificial intelligence, and the people he surrounds himself with.
