Day Thirty-One: Easter Special, Palm Sunday
Hey everyone! Since next weekend is Easter I decided to do an Easter Special this week honoring Jesus's death and Him rising again. Today is Palm Sunday so I am doing a special on Palm Sunday❤️ I hope you enjoy❤️
Verses: "As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples, saying to them, "Go to the village ahead of you, and at once you will find a donkey tied there, with her colt by her. Untie them and bring them to me. If anyone says anything to you, say that the Lord needs them, and he will send them right away." This took place to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet: "Say to Daughter Zion, 'See, your king comes to you, gentle and riding on a donkey, and on a colt, the foal of a donkey.' " The disciples went and did as Jesus had instructed them. They brought the donkey and the colt and placed their cloaks on them for Jesus to sit on. A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. The crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted, "Hosanna to the Son of David!" "Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!" "Hosanna in the highest heaven!" When Jesus entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred and asked, "Who is this?" The crowds answered, "This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee.""
Matthew 21:1-11 NIV
In the verses above this is when Jesus was riding into Jerusalem on a donkey. People were waving palm tree branches as He walked by aka the reason why it's called palm Sunday.

One thing I really loved about this story is Jesus choose to ride on a donkey. Literally Jesus could have picked the nicest and best horse. His disciples would have gotten Him a horse if Jesus asked for one. But Jesus didn't pick the nicest horse, Jesus choose a donkey.
Because when Kings would ride into town, they would ride on fine horses. But Jesus is the King and Savior of the world, but He choose to ride on a donkey.
Jesus always used loved everyone. He would be with anyone even the: tax collectors and people with horrible illnesses.
I believe that Jesus riding in on a donkey, just goes to show you that Jesus can use anyone to do His will, even donkeys.
No matter who you are or what you have done: God Loves YOU and wants to use YOU to build His kingdom.
Remember that His disciples weren't perfect either: Thomas was a doubter, Paul had a thorn in his side, and Peter disowned Jesus three times.
Jesus loves sinners. No matter what you have done, you are not to broken or too messed for God to love you, forgive you, and use you to build God's kingdom.
Prayer:
Dear God,
I am running into your arms. I pray you grab my hand and fill me with your love. As Easter is coming up this week, please remind me of your love, goodness, death, and for you rising again. I thank you for Palm Sunday. Please use me to build your kingdom. I am willing Lord. Wherever you lead Lord, I will follow you.
I thank you for all my many blessings and for Your Son.
In Jesus's name, I pray, Amen!

Divine Creatures
Kestra, a [Combat Alchemist] and [Woods Wraith Hunter], is excited to finally receive her third class. But when she attempts to do so, she instead receives a tribulation from the God of Trials, loses her classes, and is informed by the voice of the world that she's been selected to transmigrate with only three days to go. She tries her damnedest to prepare, but even the Elements are different in this new realm. A relatively staid adjustment period is completely abandoned though as she finds that, most distressingly, hundreds of transmigrators have appeared recently with dozens enslaved by the local city lord. Fine! She may have lost her classes and the magic is funky, but she'll be damned if she doesn't have a few true-blue skills up her sleeves. [synopsis re-write by luda305] A light hearted romp where the protag transmigrator *isn't* from Earth. The main story takes place on more of a western xianxia world. Note: profanity tag is because of side characters, and sexual context tag is for some risqué elements before fade-to-black scene. Book 1 is written and scheduled for release a chapter a day till 9/26 (24 chapters total) Book 2 will be added after it is all written. Updated to add fanfic tag because when I picked up the latest Ten Realms I realized that series has had a lot more influence on the setting than I consciously realized. Don't expect military or industrial revolution in xianxia, though.

Star Dragon's Legacy
Millennia have passed since the Dragons had found us. Millennia have passed since they left us, separating the world in plumes of eternal rainbow fire. Millennia have passed since people began to wonder: were we worth saving? Dragons were beings of myth. Now, people do what they can with the magic that works best for them, while trying not to get on the bad side of any powerful fae or nobles. A rare few are afforded the chance to meet credible proof of the Dragons, the undisputed heirs and heroes of this declined age: The Scaled. These Children of Dragons are stronger, hardier, and some would say far smarter that other humans, differentiated only by the horns on their head and scales on their skin. Rael is...not one of them. But Rael does need to protect one. Any and all feedback is appreciated. Don't touch the Patreon button, I still haven't finished setting it up.

Once you go Wuxxia you never go back. [Not a Parody but moreso a revised wuxxia.]
Robert Nord wakes up from a deep sleep, one he regreted to ever take. Instead of waking up to his well-known, stark, eggshell-white ceiling, atop his luxurious 800€ mattress with down feather duvet and fluffy cushions, he finds himself staring at molden planks of wood, a stench of sweat, blood and iron mellowing in the air. A world of swords that sunder oceans and fists that crack mountainsides. This is a world known throughout the dimensions, a world of wuxxia and xianxia. (This fiction will be parodying many a wuxxia and hopefully do a good job with it. Not only will I try and stress the most ridiculous down-sides of wuxxias but I will also take a shot at making it enjoyable while I'm at it. And don't be fooled by the Lit-RPG tag, after all, every MC needs his secret weapon, regardless how much they try to deny it.)
