Day Sixteen.
Verse: "Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him."
Psalm 34:8 NIV
Maybe right now, you are facing a storm. Maybe you have lost a loved one, battling a mental illness, cancer, or chronic illness. No matter what storm you are facing: God is so good and He will help you through this storm.
Lately I know I have been struggling. As you all know, I am battling chronic illnesses: fibromyalgia and arthritis. It's been really rough and it's been hard on me. I have been feeling very down because of it. I am newly diagnosed with both of them and I am having a hard time accepting my diagnosis. Because before chronic illness: I was in musicals, plays, I played golf, and did karate. Now I know I can probably never do any of those things again. It's very sad and it's hard realizing that. My whole world has changed but I have to learn to start looking at the positives. I have to be grateful and thankful. I know that God is good even when life isn't.
When we are struggling, it's hard to focus on anything but our struggles. But we have to focus on how good God is.
Here is proof that God is good:
God will love you forever. (Psalm 136:1)
God will never leave you. (Hebrews 13:5)
God will always comfort you. (Isaiah 49:13)
God will always 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)
God sent His only Son to die on the cross for you because He loves you so much. Death couldn't even stop God's love for you. (John 3:16)

God is good, always. God is good even when life isn't because God will carry us through life. He may not save you from your circumstances but He will help you through it. God will always be there for you.
God hasn't saved me from mental illnesses or chronic illnesses, but He has helped me through it. I wouldn't be alive if it wasn't for God's grace and goodness. God didn't save me from my struggle but He has given me His strength to face them.
You don't have to go through life alone. God is here for you. He just wants to help you. All you have to do is grab His hand. He is there waiting for you. He can't wait to see you. He can't wait to bless you.
Prayer:
Dear God,
Help me stop focusing so much on my struggles and instead focus on your goodness. Because God I know you are good so please help me to always be thankful and grateful for you. I am running into your arms God. I need you so please wrap your arms around me and carry me through this storms. I can't do life without you God so please come and grab my hand. Help me walk through life with you by my side.
In Jesus's name, I pray, Amen.

This Strange New Life
Seems like I got a new chance. Better not fuck it up then, since I really want to see what it feels to have a family. Power is pretty lame alone. Best used to build things and protect people. Did a lot of building 'till now, lots of research stuff and all. Now, let's protect the people that I love and that loves me back. An enjoyable life with my loved ones. Whatever the cost. Mufufu~~ What can I do, my siblings are so cute~~ maybe I'll try having children at some point~? --- PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION ^p^ ---- This is an extremely slow reincarnation story, with heavy usage of dialogues and diminutive descriptions. Chapter are posted whenever I feel like it, because I won't burn myself down like I did before. Chapters will often be around 2k words. The first arc, Life in Valince, will be at least 50 chapters deep, and the main character won't get to her 1 year anniversary over the span of this arc. As I said, it's a slow, character interaction, dialogue-heavy story. Lots of feeling, slice-of-life etc, with some dramatic events that shape the rest of the story ^^ AND PLEASE, STOP PESTERING ME ABOUT JAPANESE. this story contain a very limited amount of japanese words, used in context for a reason and that are part of the mystery of the worldAnd the bad guys use german (not because nazi buit because german is badass)And there’s also french. Please be open-minded. I’m not a delusional weeb and this kind of thing, and it would be very appreciated if people could be more polite.If you don't like it, I don't force you to read it, but a lot of people seems to like this novel nonetheless, so maybe you should give it a shot. ---- Lux's here! Yeah I know I should work on ToL and ToF but I had another idea, then another one. So here it is. Story talk about a war vet that reincarnate and can finally know what it is to have a family. I like engineering, creating things and all, so I'll try putting production scene in this. Like all my stories, it's about love, be it with family, friends or lovers. I like my coffee with so much love sugar that half the planet would get diabetes. You're warned. Also, the MC is quite OP, but I keep a progression curb and she still has things to learn, which she will eagerly do. After all, curiosity is one of her main drives, with a thirst for love and utter hate of loss, be it losing a battle or losing someone she loves. Ha, nearly forgot. CONTENT WARNINGS AREN'T FOR SHOW. Sex, of course. I'll try to explore sexuality as a male, a female, and some other PoV that can't be categorised like that, not exactly. Also, beware the yuri/yaoi. I don't limit myself to straight couples. Gore. A lot. Blood everywhere, guts spilling and all. I don't do censure. The Mc cut a wolf in half? you get the details of what is inside it. Traumatising content. I dunno. No NTR, no heartbreaking drama. However, some of you may dislike the way I handle bodies and flesh. Got some feedback about body horror on my previous works, but everyone as a different border separating transhumanism and body horror. Mine is pretty high. How high? Go read The Other Labyrthin to have an example. To put it in simple term, I've no problem at all to describe alien bodies, change in human bodies, interactions between differents strange species etc. Expect a lot of tentacle, bio-incubator, spawning pool à la zerg. Profanity. Well, I think you fucking got it in the very first sentence of this synopsis, ain't right? ---- THIS IS A WIP (work in progress)! Earlier chapters may get retconned or completely changed, structure of the story isn't set in stone, all the usual stuff. ANY HELP IS WELCOMED. Want to throw me your idea? Shoot! Spotted an error in the text? Comment! Seen a plothole bigger than the impact zone of a nuke? I'll gladly hear you out and try to fix the problem (somehow ;-;) --- Cover: John Martin - The Plains of Heaven (c. 1851) ---- Official Editor: TheZouave (starting from ch25 onward) ---- List of thanks: Necrotyr (English) Asviloka (English) Damokles (Review) David Talon (Review) JHA (English) Helbom (English) Slee202 (Common Coherence) NEEDS_MORE_DAKA (First First) Srayan (English) Koooomakimi (Dialogue Flow) Emagstar (English) Apocryphal (Review) ToasterForker (Review) Ellen Taylor (Review) Zak (English) PrimalShadow (English) Elliot Flanders (HUGE THANKS for the re-write of the poem "Tale of Ashen Night" Go check their work, it's good ^^) Lance Wheeler (Huge thanks for the English edit on each chapter ^^) (If you think you should be here because you helped me, feel free to ask, pointing the reason, like the comment you gave that could have helped me ^^)
