《Prose For The Soul》II.

Sometimes things do not happen the way we want them to.
Even when we are holding tightly onto something or someone, it somehow manages to extricate itself from our grasp. Even when we have worked so hard in hopes of achieving a certain goal, that dream of ours does not become a reality. Even when we do our best to avoid a certain problem, it always seems to find its way into the picture.
It may make us ask ourselves, 'Why is this happening to me?'
Perhaps this is not the question that we should be pondering on.
Perhaps the question that we should be asking ourselves is, 'What can I learn from this experience?'
The tribulations we encounter make us stronger and wiser. And whether we believe it or not, some of these misfortunes are actually blessings in disguise. Though we want certain events to take place in our lives, perhaps they do not happen, because God has better plans for us.
As we continually traverse this world, there is no doubt that the road ahead will be rough. In spite of this, we should never be afraid when we know that the Lord is by our side. With His guidance and mercy, we have made it this far, and we were able to overcome our past struggles, which have molded us into the amazing, resilient people we are today.
He has always helped us make it through our quandaries. He has made a promise to help His people who trust fully in Him. Unlike people, who change their minds, the Lord does not go back on His word. Hence, let us remain firm in our conviction that He is with us at present, and that He will never leave us.
Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall,
but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.
— Isaiah 40:30-31 NIV

Reverie
Natalin thought that being a champion of the gods was supposed to make things easier. It turns out, life isn’t that simple. For centuries, the four gods that rule the land have each chosen a hero, a mage-warrior to act as eyes and hands in the world. Gifted with their Divine’s blessing, these Ascended and their successors have worked for centuries to ensure the land stays at peace. As the new Tideborn, the disciple of the sea god Efren, Natalin is expected to follow in their footsteps. Her counterpart Takio finds himself in the same boat, tasked with keeping his volcano goddess patron in check. The demands placed on them are immense, but together with their nations, they’ve managed to keep the peace. Until the crops and grasslands begin failing, sending Takio’s mountainous nomads careening towards war. Natalin’s shores fall under siege, destroying the seabound trade routes that keep their nations flourishing. When the very safety of the four champions is threatened by the growing chaos, Natalin and Takio realize the truth - their Divine favor won’t protect them. And there’s more at play in their ‘peaceful’ world than they’d thought. Cover art by Rin! Check out her work!
