Day One Hundred and Forty-Nine
Verse: "Cause all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose." Romans 8:28
What I love about this verse below it is so honest. It doesn't say: "everything that happens to you in life is going to be good." Because we know that, that is a lie because we live in a broken world where bad things happen. God never promised us an easy life where we wouldn't have trials. (John 16:33) But He did promise that He has an amazing plan for our life (Jeremiah 29:11). He also promised He would alway be there for us and to help us (Psalm 121:1-2). He promised that all things will work together for good to those who love God (Romans 8:28).
Maybe right now, you are facing a trial. Maybe you are feeling depressed, stressed, overwhelmed, or anxious. Maybe you are battling a mental illness, chronic illness, cancer, or you have lost a loved one. I don't know what you are going through, but the thing you can do when you are struggling is to seek God by reading His word, worshiping Him, listening for Him, and praying to Him. Because as you seek God, He will draw near to you (Psalm 125:1-2). And He will bless you with whatever you need to face the storm you are going through (Isaiah 49:13).
As you continue to seek God, He will be there to help you with whatever storm you are facing (Psalm 121:1-2). Because you don't have to face this storm alone, because God is alway by your side (Psalm 121:1-2). With God on your side, you can do anything! (Matthew 19:26) You can fight that battle and win because with God on your side, you can do anything through Christ who blesses you with strength (Phillpians 4:13).

Prayer:
Dear God,
Right now, I am facing a storm. So Lord, I ask that as I seek you through reading your word, listening to you, worshiping you, and praying to you that I become close to you. I pray that as I seek you, you bless me with whatever I need to face this storm. Because I know you are always with me Lord and I thank you for that. I know that with you on my side, I can do anything! So please come grab my hand and help me face this storm with you on my side. I thank you for your goodness, love, grace, and mercy. I praise you because you are so good even when life isn't.
I thank you for all my many blessings.
In Jesus's name, I pray, Amen!

The Kodoku Game
In Japanese folklore, there once existed an ancient technique among alchemists for harvesting the strongest poison known to man. A poison so vicious, so horrendous, that a single drop could incapacitate an entire nation of humans, several times over. A poison so intense that a single drop could turn the tides of a war on its head. As potent as it appeared however, this poison could be harvested from the blood of a single insect alone- an insect the alchemist’s called the ‘Kodoku’. As lucrative as was attaining this poison however, the problem lied in identifying this insect- its appearance, shape and size changed from region to region and from continent to continent. Sometimes it took the appearance of a ladybug and other times a horned-beetle. In order to determine the identity of this special insect the alchemists came up with an ingenious method. They created an impregnable jar of clay out of the best sandstone they could find and placed hundreds of different insects into the same jar. The jar was made with such great mastery that it allowed no insects to escape and allowed no objects to enter. The laws of nature dictated that the insects would remain together in the jar forever. However, it turned out that as time went on, the insects’ hunger for food and power caused them to turn against each other- one insect ate another until only one remained. This sole insect contained a poison that far surpassed that of all the others and became stronger as it ate more and more insects. The alchemists at this point had succeeded in identifying the Kodoku and could extract it’s poison as long as they continued to feed it regularly. Although this folklore ends here, the actual story does not. One day, as the alchemists cheered in joy of having identified the Kodoku they so eagerly wanted, they forgot to close the lid on the very jar that was considered to be completely impregnable. This small gap was just large enough for the Kodoku inside to crawl out. Famished from not having been fed for weeks, the Kodoku ended up eating the very alchemists that nourished its growth until not even the bones remained. Yet, the Kodoku’s hunger didn’t seem to subside in the slightest. So it traveled to the next village and began eating whatever it could find there. Its poison made it unparalleled in strength and slowly but surely it began to dwindle down the population of the entire city. Yet its hunger only continued to grow. So it traveled to the next city over and ate all it could there. Very soon, the Kodoku couldn’t find any more food to eat. There was no one left to eat and no one left to spectate. So it stood there, by itself pondering what possibly was left to eat that could satiate its hunger. But there was one thing left that Kodoku realized it had never eaten. Itself.

Star Wars: Downfall
This is my take on what should've happened with Ahsoka Tano and Anakin Skywalker. The story is a technical rewrite of "Revenge of the Sith", but it features Ahsoka Tano. Also this IS Anisoka shipped. Please Enjoy :)
