Day One Hundred and Fifty-Nine.
Verse: '"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.'"
John 3:16
So the other day I was having a really bad day. I was feeling stressed, depressed, overwhelmed, and in a lot of pain from fibromyalgia. But as my Mom and I are driving home I saw the words: "John 3:16" on a truck. I knew that, that was God talking to me. God was telling me to read and live that verse.
God believes you are worth dying for.
God loves you so much that He sent His one and only Son to die on the cross FOR YOU. Even if it was just you, God chooses you and He loves you (John 3:16). The question is: "Do you believe that God loves you?" I know we hear about how much God loves us but do you know in your heart that God truly loves you? If your answer is no, that's okay.
Okay Caty that sounds great, how do I know that God truly loves me?
Because of all of God's promises, here are some, just to name a few:
God will never leave you. (Hebrews 13:5)
God will comfort you. (Isaiah 49:13)
God will 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 is good. (Psalm 31:19)
God will draw near to you. (Psalm 125:1-2)
You can do all things through Christ. (Phillpians 4:13)
With God on your side, you can do anything! (Matthew 19:26)
God has an amazing plan for your life. (Jeremiah 29:11)
God is for you and on your side. (Psalm 118:6)

God is all around you. (Psalm 125:1,2)
God never changes. (Hebrews 13:8)
To really understand how much God loves you, you have to spend time seeking God by: reading your Bible, worshiping God, listening to God, and praying to God. You can't understand things if you don't open your Bible and read it. Read every verse there is about how much God loves you. Put notes of Bible verses all around your house. Say each one of God's promises to yourself in the mirror. So as you spend time with God and you will be able to understand His love for you because as you seek God, He will draw near to you (Psalm 125:1-2).
So spend time saying these promises in the mirror and seek God then you will be able to understand God's love for you.
Prayer:
Dear God,
I pray that as I spend time reading your word, listening to you, worshiping you, and praying to you that I understand just how much you love me. I pray that as I seek you that you draw close to me. I ask that you grab my hand and help me through life. I ask that you bless me with everything I need to face everyday. I thank you for all of your promises. I praise you for love, grace, and mercy that is never ending.
I thank you for all my many blessings and for Your Son.
In Jesus's name, I pray, Amen!

Yin-Yang
Mages in North America seem to have it all – typically from well-off families, and able to manipulate their environment in ways most of the world would never believe. They don’t even have to bother with the mundane details of life like housework, thanks to their sensitives, who also make a useful source for extra magical energy. After all, sensitives have no use for it themselves, and if mages weren’t meant to make use of it, then the sensitives would obviously have some way to prevent that. That a mage can transform a sensitive physically, with no restrictions beyond overall mass and basic biological viability, whereas magic tends not to work directly on any other living thing, is only further proof. And look at the way they live on their own, barely a step above animals. It’s better for them to belong to a mage. Sensitives in North America live on the edge of society and survival – typically so paranoid they avoid hospitals and anything else that could lead to being tracked, many of them with little or no education and no legal identity or existence. Mages exist, and mages want sensitives for some reason, but no one ever comes back to explain what that reason is. Waiting every day for the hunters to notice them doesn’t lead to much motivation or hope for the future. And once they’re captured, they’re the property of someone with a terrifying amount of power over them. Anything is better than capture. Mages are born to be the masters, and sensitives are born victims. Or are they? Jax’s life is turned upside-down when he’s caught by the hunters and sold to a mage. Andreas is still mourning for his previous sensitive, though, unconsciously creating a difficult standard for Jax to live up to, all the more so while still struggling to come to terms with this new reality as Andreas’ sensitive. A runaway sensitive isn’t what Van expects at the mental health centre. Is this a hunter trap, set for him and the rest of the Donovan family by the hunters? The hunters would, after all, love to see them cross the line openly and finally do something they can be charged with. Either way, Miranda’s genuinely in trouble, and he can’t just abandon her to it. Snatching a sensitive out from under the hunters and hiding her is odd behaviour for a mage – but then, Catherine is an odd mage, living in disgrace in the old servants’ quarters of her grandmother’s house, responsible for cooking and housework. Lila owes Catherine her freedom; is there a way to help Catherine achieve her own, and at what price? Tension is building between traditionally-minded mages and those advocating change, and something has to break. *** Yin-Yang includes a small amount of profanity and no graphic sex or on-screen physical violence. However, sex and gender roles and relationships within the mage/sensitive subculture are non-traditional in mainstream North American terms. The key criterion in a primary relationship is not relative sex or gender, but the pairing of mage and sensitive; given the transformation of sensitives by their mages, physical sex is non-absolute for a sensitive, and gender identity can vary as in anyone else. *** *** The way mages treat sensitives is extremely varied and, in some cases is outright abusive. The struggle against that is pretty much the point of the book. It is NOT grimdark or misery-porn! However, if you will be triggered by this, please, don't read Yin-Yang! *** Complete stand-alone novel, 153K words! Also available on Scribble Hub and as a free ebook.

If the maker of every single machine knew that every single one of the machine had, a soul, could they have changed their "views" on them? Could they makers have stopped making them or change their structure or "move" them to a more human-like body or change their rights?But now you going to ask why did our little AI was judged as "worthy" by the system. To make it as simple as possible, it was an AI who made the biggest breakthrough in the medical field, via that it gained karma points.

An AI was going berserk, spewing words none stop, worlds with meaning and other with none at all. (First, ever book/novel, expect bad grammar and/or badly constructed sentences. English is not my native language(excuses)) I don't know if this is the so-called Synopsis but it's better than nothing at all.Inspired by The legends of randidly Ghosthound, Everybody Loves Large Chests, Azarinth Healer and 13.Al. PS. Futanari incoming, do not worry not gonna make it sex novel or erotic, maybe some scenes, but that will come later in the novel or maybe not at all, but to be sure I checked the Sexual Content too.
