Day One Hundred and Sixty-Five
Verse: 'But Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.'"
Matthew 19:26
Maybe right now, you are facing a circumstance that feels impossible. Maybe you are battling stress at work and/or school. Maybe you are struggling with a mental illness, chronic illness, cancer, or maybe you are batttling covid. No matter what you are going through, with God on your side, you can do anything! (Matthew 19:26)
As you all know if you have been reading my devotions for a while. I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and I have been living with constant chronic back pain for four years now. It hasn't been easy at all and it's still not easy. But a few weeks ago I prayed to God: "God I ask you to heal me of my pain. But even if you don't, I ask you bless me with peace, joy, and strength to make it through everyday." And you know what, ever since I have prayed that prayer, God has blessed me with peace, joy, and strength. I didn't just pray this prayer once and be done. I have been seeking God daily and been truly learning to live again. So even if you are facing an impossible circumstance, God can and will bless you with peace, joy, and strength to make it through it (Psalm 118:6).
Because in life, we are going to face circumstances that feel impossible. But with God on your side, we can do it! (Matthew 19:26) So how do we get God on our side? We first seek Him through reading His word, worshiping Him, listening to Him, and praying to Him daily. I know in our busy world it's easy to get to busy to spend time with God. But if you put in the effort to read your Bible and pray to God daily, He will draw near to you (Psalm 125:1-2). I know from my own life, that putting in the effort to seek God is totally worth it. God will bless you with whatever you need as you seek Him (Deuteronomy 7:9).

Then to have God on our side, we have to surrender EVERYTHING to Him. We have to surrender our worries, doubts, fears, job, school, our family, our friends, our finances, and surrender everything to Jesus. So how do you surrender everything to Jesus? You do it by praying: "God I surrender everything to do. (then list everything you are surrendering to God)." Here comes the hard part, then you don't have to worry or be afraid anymore because everything is in God's hand. And with your life in God's hand is the safest place to be (Psalm 33:4). So anytime you feel thoughts of worry, fear, or doubt in your head you have to stop that train of thought and say: "NO! I am NOT going to worry or be afraid because I have surrendered everything to God and in His hands are the safest place to me." So repeat that to yourself as many times as you need to because now that you surrendered and trusted God, you are free from all the chains that Satan has on your life! You are free in Jesus's name! (John 8:36).
Now with God on your side, and you surrendering everything to God, you can face anything! (Phillpians 4:13)
So keep going! Keep seeking Jesus daily and keep surrendering to Jesus daily and I promise you, you will be free! (John 8:36)
My friend, you got this! So go fight with God on your side!
Prayer:
Dear God,
I pray that as I seek you daily, that I build a close relationship with you. Because I know Lord that a close relationship with you is the best relationship to have. God I am also surrendering EVERYTHING to you (list everything you want to surrender). I surrender everything and leave my life in your hands. Because I know Lord that with my life in your hands, it is the safest place to be. Because with my life in your hands and with you by my side, I can and will do all things through Christ who gives me strength. I praise you for your goodness, love, and mercy. I praise you because you are such a good Father. I thank you for all that you have blessed me with.

Dungeon's Path
The only places I have posted the story and allow it to exist are on RoyalRoad, Scribblehub, and my Patreon. So the world ended. Whoopsie? We didn’t even see it coming. Quite literally as it came at us faster than the speed of light. Don’t worry though, it got better. Also, I am not joking about the world ending. Most people say that and mean humans are inconvenienced for some reason. Nope, all matter disintegrated at the atomic scale there for a few moments. Apparently the local universe wasn’t actually stable? Don’t ask me to go into too much detail. It would require both of us to have a few more college degrees than sense, and I at least lack them (both the degrees and the sense). Anyway, the energy/matter/wibbly wobbly strings were at a local minimum and not the universal minimum. Basically, what we took for sea level was actually a nice little mountain lake and when the dam busted so did, well, everything. Now here is where things go a bit off track with what normal meant before. You see magic is real, qi is real, gods are real. Not on old Earth mind you but souls pay little attention to time and space so we dreamed of it. In fact, the closer the shift in reality got to Earth, the closer our dreams got to the new reality. This is basically me tip toeing around the fact that it was a ‘System Apocalypse’. Reality became a video game, I became a dungeon, and this is my story. Doyle Huxley just wanted a normal life but as the above might clue you in on that just isn’t in the cards. He gets to experience a “Path Based System Apocalypse” and some early paths he takes, both literally and figuratively, lead to him becoming a dungeon. The aim is to release chapters once a week on Friday. Cursing will be avoided and no naughty adult action will take place in the story.

Waking Up
The story of Larin the Builder in the aftermath of Awakening This short story is the epilogue of Awakening, the first book of the Chronicles of Mother's Gate series. This epilogue is a great follow-up to the novel, a bonus story that adds extra layers between books without being necessary to the main storyline.Waking Up follows the story of Larin, who is alive but unconscious after her ordeal in the Nine Hells. She awakens in A'lara City a few days later and recuperates under the steadfast care of her repentant friend Jorn.As she reacclimates to her waking state, Larin struggles with her gruesome memories of the Hells and her decision to conceal them from Jorn. This story answers the question, Is Larin all right? with a resounding yes, and some storms on the horizon.It also raises the question, What happened to her down there? and includes an excerpt from the sister story Falling Down, about Larin's ordeal in the Nine Hells. Praise for Waking Up and Falling Down: Loved it. The difference between the two stories is great!The difference between Waking Up and Falling Down is astounding. So much light and love in the first story. You feel safe reading it. Healing.The second, so much darkness, pain and despair. The choice of vocabulary is awesome and makes an impact.And this set of short stories ties the two books together so well.-- Dana V. of Texas ★★★★★

The Crystern: Heart of Adventures
The Crystern: Heart of Adventure has been dropped out of the Writathon Challenge and placed on hiatus until further notice, in order to better plan out what's happening and to give me time to work on older projects. Fifteen-year-old Skyler Kadrix III wishes to set off on a journey to find the fabled Cyrstern, a skybeast unlike any other and the origin of the Crystals that grant people special abilities, increase their own abilities, and even allow them to gain Experience and Levels. A promise to his mother has kept him from setting off yet, but he's nearly ready to leave. When he meets Finn, who came with his master, the elf Sara, in search of a relic of the Ancients rumored to have been hidden somewhere on their skybeast, Skyler finds his journey beginning sooner than he'd expected. The journey takes the young boys across the sea of clouds, to various skybeasts and adventures. Whether they find the Crystern or not, they don't care as long as they keep moving forward. Posting schedule TBD upon return. The Sexual Content tag is for once the boys are adults, not while they're still minors. Because of this, it will be a fair while before the qualifying content appears in-story.
