Day One Hundred and Ten.
Verses: 'But the salvation of the righteous is from the Lord ; He is their refuge and stronghold in the time of trouble. The Lord helps them and rescues them; He rescues them from the wicked and saves them, Because they take refuge in Him.'
Psalms 37:39-40
Maybe right now, you are really struggling. Maybe with this week being finals week in college, you feel stressed. Maybe you are stressed about Christmas coming up in just a few weeks because you have gifts to buy, wrap, and family to see. Maybe you are really struggling with depression. No matter what you are going through: God wants you to come to Him. God wants you to take refuge in Him.
Sometimes when we are struggling it's easy to get so focused on the problem was a facing that we don't go to God about it. We try to "fix it" ourselves. Honestly, anytime I have ever tried to do something without God, it didn't work. So no matter what you are facing: you don't have to face it alone. You have God, who wants to grab your hand and help you through it. (Psalm 121:1-2)
You go to God by seeking Him in: prayer, worship, and listening to Him. But really I love to go to God and prayer. I love to tell God EVERYTHING! Sometimes when someone is struggling, they feel ashamed. They feel that they shouldn't be feeling depressed, sad, suicidal, broken, etc. No matter what you are feeling: God wants you to come to Him in prayer, for you to be honest, and be open about everything you are feeling.
God loves you, just as you are. (Psalm 136:1) You don't have to pretend that everything's going great. God wants you to say the truth, the whole truth, and for you be real with Him. You don't have to be fake in front of God. Pour out your heart to God in prayer and God will comfort (Isaiah 49:13) and love you. (Psalm 136:1)

God will help you face whatever battle you are fighting. And with God on your side, you can do anything! (Matthew 19:26)
So go to God and let Him be your refuge!
Prayer:
Dear God,
I am coming to you with all my brokenness. I am really struggling and I need your help Lord. I pray that as I pour out my heart to you, that you comfort and love me. I can't do life without you Lord. Please grab my hand and help me walk through life with you by my side. As I seek you, help me grow closer to you. I praise you for this season of Christmas and the birth of Your Son. I thank you for you love, grace, and mercy.
I thank you for all my many blessings and for Your Son.
In Jesus's name, I pray, Amen!

For Grass and Glory
Being old is difficult. But losing the love of your life to natural selection and being left in the dirt is even harder. Join Walton in his final journey as he figures out if his principals are just as important when there is nothing left to lose. Combating hypocrisy, youth, bad diet practises and a general lack of respect towards humanity, Walton's struggles are the true adventure of the everyday man. A story about unlikely friendship, being old, unexpected beauty, and the obsession of kicking a round leather ball in the best way possible. A story about a new world, and its possibilities. A story about the grass, and let us hope, a small bit of glory? Author note: This is a project of mine I started in 2016 and recently been writing for again. Writing for me is something I love to do, but can't always find the time for. This is also the reason I have not finished (or come close to) Ethereal Space yet. I get distracted. I started this novel intending to create something else, to break a bit with the current go to's story wise in the litRPG or virtual reality communities. So, this is my attempt at "Something different" I would love feedback or just your general opinion. But most of all, I hope it entertains. Enjoy!

Awakened; Dungeon Tales
For decades now, strange places inhabited with monsters have been appearing across the globe. People call them dungeons and those who enter them delvers. For years, delvers explored and conquered, becoming beacons of hope—idols in a world wracked by war. Nowadays, thousands of youths each year undergo the Awakening ritual, foregoing their mundane life in favor of a more magical one. Marco is one such youth. He has a cushy life and a good family that wishes only what is best for him. He isn’t satisfied, however—he wants more. What exactly, he doesn’t know. He only knows that inside the confines of what is considered normal, he won’t find it. I update twice a week, on Tuesday and on Saturday. P.s. Before you start reading, I would like to say a few words. For starters, I never thought I would one day publish something on this website, and I want to thank all the other authors who inspired me to do so. I would also like to thank whoever spends their time to read my novel—it means a lot. So, thank you. Finally, I think it is imperative I warn you. I’m not a native English speaker: English is not my first language. If you see mistakes, feel free to point them out. I will correct them as soon as I have the time to do so. Cover: It was done by Ioannis Ioannidis. It can be found for free on Pixabay. Should the author ask, I will remove it immediately.
