Day One Hundred and Seventy-Four
Verse: "In you, O LORD, do I take refuge; let me never be put to shame!"
Psalms 71:1
Hey everyone, long time no see! I have missed you all so much! So the reason why I have been gone is that I have been so busy with college. I have fantastic news: I am graduating with my associate's degree in May, and I have finally discovered what I want to be is a High School English teacher. Why I have been gone is honestly this semester has been challenging. But right now, I am on Spring break! So welcome back!
Maybe right now, you are struggling. Perhaps you are battling a chronic illness, mental illness, physical illness, or maybe you lost a loved one. No matter what you are going through right now, God wants you to know that He loves you (John 3:16) and that He wants you to come to take refuge in Him (Psalm 71:1).
How do you take refuge in God? First, you start by seeking God through reading the Bible, praying to God, worshiping God, and being still in God's presence. If you are feeling scared about where to begin to read the Bible. My advice to you is to start in Psalms and just start reading. Lately, that is what I have been reading. It's always so good to read Psalms because David is completely honest with God even when David is depressed. If you are feeling down, too, I would suggest praying to God and being honest with Him. Tell God exactly how you think, even if you are angry with God. Just talk to God about everything. He is bigger than you are anger and feelings (Psalm 118:6).
God loves you always (Psalm 136:1). So He wants you to come to Him through prayer. He already knows what you are feeling, and He wants you to know that no matter what you are feeling. God will always love you, no matter what. Nothing can ever separate you from God's love (Romans 8:38-39).

So let God be your refuge by you seeking Him through praying to Him and reading the Bible. God will be there to love you (John 3:16), comfort you (Isaiah 49:13), and He will help you and always be there for you (Psalm 121:1-2).
So what are you waiting for? Go take refuge in God today!
Prayer:
Dear God,
I pray that as I seek you through reading the Bible, talking to you about how I am feeling, worship you, and be in your presence. I ask that you draw near to me as I draw near to you. God, I am feeling (then talking about what you are feeling). I ask that as I take refuge in you that you bless me with whatever I need. I ask that you comfort me, love me, help me, bless me, and be there for me. I praise you because I know no matter what I am feeling, you will always love me and be there for me. Thank you for your goodness, love, comfort, grace, and mercy. I pray you are with me every single second of every day. I thank you because you are so good to me.
I thank you for all my many blessings and Your Son!
In Jesus's name, I pray, Amen!

Star God
An ancient, ageless entity of magic intertwines with the essence of a tribal hero and a god is born. In a land where the worship of any entity is banned and punishable by mass-execution, the young and idealistic deity must come to terms with the ugliness of humanity, and find a way for his flock to survive, and maybe even thrive. A young man born into a mountain tribe treads the path of a hero, but he must learn the extent to which he would go to keep his people and their fledgling god safe and happy. Enemies are everywhere, and to defend their way of life, they must learn to harness the power of magic. Others are ahead of them in this regard, so they must act fast if they are to survive. A Xianxia-esque magic system, but with a focus on Western-style spellcasting and mysticism. This is more or less a deconstruction of classical fantasy and pantheons. The story focuses on two main characters; a God and a hero who serves him. Kingdom building themes are prevalent. If you like it, please remember to rate and review.

The Legend of Ghost
This is a quick novella origin story to one of fan-favorite characters in the ZERO universe, Sam Dobbs, a.k.a. Slade Gardner, a.k.a. the Ghost. I wrote it for current ZERO series fans, after many insistent, fervent, teary-eyed demands. Still, I think it pretty much works as a stand-alone, so I'll post it here. (He gets the name Ghost later, not as part of this story...this is just the why he decided to do what he did, being slightly insane and all.) Lots of easter eggs for current fans. 15k words total, chapters will be approx. 2.5k each. Oh, and if you get turned off by crazy, hyperintelligent antisocials being crazy, hyperintelligent antisocials, this isn't the story for you. ;)

Not experience it. How would he adjust to this new reality, where everything was the same yet different? Familiar faces are placed in different situations and contexts. He would follow the path of magic to find the answers to the new questions he had.

Soul Core Online
Soul Core Online was a game that few people were interested in until after it was released, due to its odd way of handling character growth but this soon changed as people started to realise just how different this game was. Unlike many of its predecessors the NPCs in Soul Core Online acted in a way that was indistinguishable from real people and the world felt alive because of this instead of the empty and sterile cities we had come to expect, even walking down the street could give you insights to how these people lived. In my case this was the world that I had always wanted to visit and I soon found myself embroiled in the constantly changing world that is Soul Core Online. This story is currently only available here on Royal Road or on my Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/bkwrm196/posts?filters%5Btag%5D=Soul%20Core%20Online
