Day One Hundred and Seventy-Five
Verse: "God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble."
Psalms 46:1 NIV
Maybe right now, you are really struggling. Maybe you are struggling with stress at work, or fear from Covid cases rising. Maybe you are burned out from school and work. Maybe you are exhausted, overwhelmed, anxious, and depressed. No matter what you are facing, God wants you to run to Him (Hebrews 13:5). God wants you to rest in Him (Isaiah 49:13). God wants to be there to help you through whatever you are going through (Psalm 121:1-2).
How do you seek God?
1. Read the Bible
So how you can seek God is first, read the Bible. Now I know it's scary not knowing where to begin in the Bible because it's huge. But my advice is start in Psalms and read as much as you can. It's up to YOU how much time you want to read the Bible. But if you only have five minutes, God will not be looking at you and saying: "You must spend x amount of hours in the word." God is saying: "Just come and spend time with me, as much or as little as you want." Just wants YOU, so spend time with Him (He doesn't care how much). But He does care that you do spend time with Him (Psalm 125:1-2).
2. Praying to Him
You can pray, many different ways. I always have loved writing so I write down my prayers. But you can speak them out loud, or in your head. Just talk to God about everything! Tell Him about your day, and what struggles you are going through. He will be there to comfort (Isaiah 49:13), love (John 3:16), help you and always be there for you ( Psalm 121:1-2). So just start talking, He wants to hear from you! (Hebrews 13:5) As you start praying and reading the Bible, God will draw near to you (Psalm 125:1-2).

3. Worship God.
My favorite way to worship God is turning on my Christian worship music, sing, and lift my hands to God. There are many other ways to worship God like just praising and thanking Him for all that He has done for you. Even when you are at your lowest, God wants you to know: you are not alone (Hebrews 13:5) and He loves you (John 3:16). There is nothing you can do or say that will ever make God stop loving you (Romans 8:36-39).
So now it's up to YOU! How do you seek God?
1. Through reading The Bible.
2. Through praying to Him.
3. By worshiping God.
Now seek God, He can't wait to see you!
Prayer:
Dear God,
I pray that as I seek you through: reading your word, praying to you, and worshiping you, that you draw near to me. I pray that you bless me with whatever I need to make it through each day. I pray that you comfort me, love me, help me, and be there for me. I ask for you to come into my heart and help me. I thank you because you are so good to me. I praise you for your goodness, grace, mercy, and love. I thank you for everything that you do for me.
I thank you for all my many blessings and for Your Son.
In Jesus's Name, I pray, Amen!

{The Dragon Within} (Completed)
Meeting his fate at the hands of seven great heroes, the wicked drake now stands in Death's hall. Met with the Grim Reaper itself. Defeated and its pride broken, the drake doesn’t beg or grovel, it simply awaits judgement. It waits for the God of the afterlife to send it on its way, to either the heights of bliss and peace or where it knew it would be sent. The depths of agony and torture, the halls of Tartarus, the father of monsters. Grim looked up from its oaken desk and down at the creature that would have otherwise, if grown wiser and older, matched the reaper itself in power. Its faceless guise, hidden by a black hood and whirling shadows, it briefly stared at the drake. “You are unfit for the sky yet also too fit for the abyss,” Grim spoke, its voice a cracking whisper. “Your time came too soon, the actions you have taken will lead your world to ruin…Be reborn, pitiful serpent. Yet remember what you have done, see what your actions have made that realm into. Let me show you, how your greed and gluttony have warped such a wonderful place and time.” Grim raised its black-feathered pen towards the beast “Be reborn, as the weak pitiful creature you should have been born as. Take this both as a punishment and…a learning experience. For failure, can be the best teacher.” The drake took a step back, hoping to escape this cruel fate. Yet none escaped Death, less so its embodiment. Screaming shadows engulfed his form, ripping away at his body and shape. Fangs of darkness sinking deep into his draconic flesh, warping it, changing him into something else… Opening his eyes, the wicked drake felt none of its power, none of its magic and none of its might. As it stood at the edge of a cliff, looking down upon a ruined valley of rot and miasma. It glanced down at itself, seeing none of its sturdy scales or sharp claws. The drake had been reborn... As a Human. Will also be posting on CreativeNovels found here; CrN Where chapters will be posted earlier than RRL.

Humanity's End
Given a year to prepare by the mysterious ‘system’ for contact with the wider galaxy, humanity must work to ensure the Earth’s defense is ready to meet any challenge. Sadly, most of the world seems dedicated to tearing itself apart as the year-end deadline gets closer. The west is in barely contained Chaos, while the east descends into internal conflict and war. The Pillar Forts, one of the few successful projects of the United Nations headed by the United States, stand ready to defend humanity against any invasion that may come through the strange Connection Pillars that appeared on each continent. Massive steel and stone walls that surround the Connection Pillars. They are filled with deadly men and women trained in all manner of warfare, each trained in the newly acquired System with skills and magical abilities that they put to deadly purpose. Beside these brave warriors, tanks, helicopters, artillery and more stand ready to defend humanity at each of these powerful installations. But, can they overcome the disparity in levels and experience between themselves and the forces that threaten them and the rest of humanity? Main Characters Jessica Brown- A young African American girl. Her 18th birthday in Detroit was the same day the systems message appeared. She discovered she was Level 7, much higher than most of the rest of the world. Why she is blessed, or cursed, with the power she doesn’t know. But what she does know is that she rather likes the feeling that comes with manipulating magic. The week after her birthday, government workers started testing every person in the US in a massive census effort of skills and abilities. Jessica Brown found herself conscripted into the US Magical Corp, a new branch of the US Military, and shipped off to a Pillar Fort. Somewhere hot and muggy in her ancestors’ home of Africa. As she grows stronger, she finds she has some connection to the pillars. While everyone else sees beauty or danger when they look at the pillars, after connection is made all Jessica can see is a Tree. A tree the size of the entire universe. Isaka Smith - is a third generation American and farmer who just wants to be left alone. But she is dragged into the situation by events beyond her control. When people in her small town had to deal with rioters and looters after the system announcement, she rallied them to defend themselves, earning her a trait that the government found extraordinarily useful. After a visit to a local reservation, she finds herself conscripted to lead one of the many small support towns erected around the great pillar forts. Not near her old home, but in far-flung Africa. John McIntire, the “Fighting Bull” -The commander of the African Fort, but because of circumstances beyond his ability to contend with shortly after taking command after being re-activated from retirement, he finds communication with his chain of command increasingly difficult. The US government, hell, even the United Nations, seems to have fallen into complete and utter chaos. The African Union is embroiled in a bitter civil war just outside his door, and supposedly, most of the world governments are in similar situations. Meanwhile, John must do his best to be ready to facilitate diplomacy, or to match the hostile argument of whatever force might come through the pillar of light when the year timer finishes counting down. Can our heros defend Earth from outside threats, while it tares itself apart? Or will they need to rebuild from the ground up? DEDICATION: This story is dedicated to my father who passed away recently. Jim Holloway, you’ll be missed you old silverback gorilla. Love you dad. Always have, always will.
