Day Twenty-Three.
Verses: "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." Romans 15:13
Right now, I am not okay. I have been struggling with my physical health for over a year now because of having fibromyalgia and now arthritis. Yesterday I got the news that I have a stye on my eye, the stye is so bad I have to have surgery on my eye. Tomorrow my Mom has brain surgery. To say the least, I am a mess. I am overwhelmed, in pain, exhausted, losing my hope in God, and I am not okay. But I do know that it's okay not to be okay. I do know that God is right here, beside me.
Maybe right now, you are struggling as well. Maybe right now, you are not okay and it's okay to not be okay. Maybe you are struggling with horrible circumstances and just don't know what to do. I do know that when we are struggling, God is right here, beside us.
Even when you are at your lowest, God is right beside you. He just wants to grab your hand and help you through this. Even when you want to give up on God, He will NEVER give up on you.
Last night, I was so down and depressed that I wanted to give up on God. But I knew I could never give up on God, because I love Him to much. Even though I am struggling, I am not okay, and I am mad at God. I could never give up on Him because He has never given up on me.
If you are struggling, God will give you His hope. He may not save you from your circumstances but He will give you the strength to face them. God may never heal me from my mental illnesses and chronic illnesses. But I do believe that everyday He will give me the strength and hope to face them.

(Isaiah 49:13) God will help you and always be there for you. (Psalm 121:1-2) God may not cure you from your illness or save you from your circumstances, but God will give you the strength, hope, joy, and peace to face your circumstances and keep going. (Romans 15:13)
Prayer:
Dear God,
I am a really struggling and I need your help. I can't do life without you Lord. I need your strength, hope, peace, joy, and rest to help me face my circumstances with you by my side. I know I can't do life without you Lord so please come be close to me and grab my hand. Help me walk through life with you by my side. I need you now more than ever Lord so please come help you. I know you love me forever and I know you will always be there to help me. You may not save me from my struggles but I pray you give me the strength and hope to face them.
I thank you for all my many blessings and for Your Son.
In Jesus's name, I pray, Amen.

When I was about to get the blessing, I met God. God tell me that he got something extra because my evolved soul. Later I learnt that what I got was a cheat skill. With this cheat skill i will be able to create a better future, if i can get into it. But really, kicked out from the orphanage and living on slums, not getting any job because my age and skills. Forced to pickpocket nobles and merchant with risk of getting arrested, sold as a slave or even executed. What a life, the future is bright but the present is so bleak that i almost blind. Then she came into my life, although it is i who first save her from danger but later on she gave me all i can ask for. A job with good pay, a place to stay, even her father sent me to the world famous Academy with her. She is my lady of luck, all skill i got was because i met her.

This is my first time writing a story, i dont know if you guys will receive it well or not. I started to read LN from NU and RL, and it enchanted me. But unfortunately the author and translator are humans too so they couldnt keep up with my reading rate. From what i had read, i started to imagine what if the world like this, or what if this character had an ability like this or what if the decision the character made was different than the stories. All of that keep coming up as i read, and then a few weeks ago i started to write what i imagine into a new story. Through writing the story i learnt that making a story isnt as easy as imagine. I must think of name, plot, character personalities, the environment, etc. Then one day i decided, fuck it lets post it first and see how it is going to be. To tell you the truth i like chinese martial arts story better but i cant make chinese name since i dont know the language. I learnt from the internet that creating a random name in Chinese is dangerous so i make this story to be Japanese like western story. But i still want to add martial arts and cultivation element to it. I will write what my imagine is like, something will be changed along the way thats for sure but i hope you guys will understand it. Each chapter will at least have 1500 words but i am not so good at english so correct me if there is something wrong with my grammar. I post this so that i can share what i imagine. One last thing, i like OP Main Character and although i dont hate training plot but i dont like weak main character. I hope you like what i write, any critics and suggestion is welcomed so write it on comment section so we can discuss it with the others. Warning For you guys that dont like OP Main Character, bad language, violence, and maybe in the future there will be NSFW content, dont read it For those who seek perfection, you wont find it here Strategy, Business Management, Trickery not my forte so dont seek it here but i will try to make it if possible Character skills will randomly appear as i tried to think what op skill i want for my character so bear with it Plot will be good, well i hope so if not then bear with it
