A momentous choice, a chance at redemption offered by the divine itself.
Would you grasp it with trembling hands, knowing your essence teeters on the brink of eternal damnation?
Would you traverse the darkest depths and scale the highest peaks, all for the sake of those deserving of your unwavering devotion?
I did.
Not because I believed I was worthy. Not because I sought Heaven's mercy.
But because for one fleeting second, I loved more than I hated.
I gave my last breath to someone else... and that changed everything.
She didn't ask to be saved.
And I, a soul forged in sin, was never meant to care.
But I did.

Uncertain Love
God is Good. I always wished I could be creative. Now I've prayed for it. Let's see what my God can do through me. When I was younger, I wanted to be an author, the kind who makes your heart pound because you don't know what's coming next. I used to start stories and never finish them. One day, a boy named Justin read one and said it was really good. I was seventeen-boy-crazy, wild, shipped off to Job Corps because I was "a problem." I'd written his last name on my hand. At the time, I didn't know why. Now I see: God was preparing me, even then. Because He knew when I'd wake up. He told me I was chosen from the beginning. And now the dots connect, because He owns my future. Because He lives. What if I told you that you could be saved too? This book is my journey of waking up to His goodness-one post, one prayer, one revelation at a time. It's about revival, motherhood, and Love. That sometimes feels uncertain, even though it's Certain that He loves us. (I am constantly editing, and prior chapters may be edited and whole new chapters may be added towards the beginning as I write)
An Unspoken Thing
They say when you fall in love, there's no denying it. Falling in love is the most special thing in the world, because standing before you is the one you're meant to spend the rest of your life with. Once, I did believe that, with everything of my very being. It was incredible, undeniable as had once been said. Our wedding was so beautiful, touching some would say. I'd never seen a man cry before that day. Then things changed. I lost feeling as I became trapped, unable to pull from the web surrounding me. I would scream, yet nobody heard a thing. Cry, yet nothing changed. Fight, but I always lost. "Say you love me." I remember telling him. He would always say he did, then the beatings started again and I was back in a cycle of torment and pain. I had given up completely. Then one night, things changed. A miracle some would say, as the monster before me was no more. The car wreck had saved me. The memories and nightmares would still haunt me though. Overtime I tried to be happy, but his face, his hands, his spit, all the memories kept coming back. I never thought I'd be able to get away. I lost all belief in love and beauty. All I saw was destruction as I locked myself away from the pain waiting to creep back in. I spoke of this to nobody, and with that meant I stopped speaking all together. I shoved those who cared away, because I was scared. I'm still scared, but yet again, things changed.Complete
DIVINE LOVE
Hello everyone.... So this is my first story content that I write. This story is totally based on fiction...in which have a lot of fantasy, mystery, romance and thriller...it's just an imagination. If you start reading, so you can't stop to yourself to know...what's the next? "This is the tale of a girl and a boy-two souls bound by destiny. She is a girl who carries endless warmth within her heart, a softness spun from dreams and devotion. Her love for him is fierce yet tender, an intensity that could melt even the coldest of hearts. She alone holds the power to turn his silence into song, his cruelty into care, and his heartlessness into a divine, love-soaked tenderness. For him, she is not just love-she is transformation itself. He, on the other hand, is a man carved from stone-ruthless, unfeeling, feared by the world. His heart knows no gentleness, no mercy, no emotion... except when it beats for her. For her, he burns with a passion that borders on obsession, a divine fire that consumes only in her presence. To the world he remains untouchable, cold and cruel, but before his little beloved, he softens, melts, and surrenders-becoming hers in the truest, most profound way." "Both of them had walked through tragedies so dark that their hearts were scarred forever. Yet, neither of them knew that life was about to change completely. From enemies, they would slowly turn into lovers-destined for each other. When together, they created a kind of magic that only true souls can make. They became each other's biggest support system, healing one another in ways no one else ever could. In every prayer, they carried each other's name, and with every heartbeat, they kept falling deeper into a divine and eternal love." I need your love and support. I am a little bit nervous but it's gives me an excitement also and some another level of happiness. Interesting twists on the way.

Help Me Carry Him
The cosmos cracked when the first great light fell. When Lucifer, the Morning Star, traded his celestial throne for the dust of a broken world, a gaping shadow was left in God's heart. To mend it, the Father plucked a perfect rose, breathed life into it, and called her Elisheva, "My God is an Oath." She was the replacement, the flawless answer to an unimaginable rebellion. But as the new Archangel took her place, her gaze was drawn not to the glory of the heavens, but to the burning ambition still visible in the eyes of the beautiful, self-exiled demon. Her oath was to God. Her obsession became the fallen star. Millennia passed. Prophecies twisted. And finally, driven by a love neither divine nor corrupt, Elisheva stood on the precipice of judgment, staring down the ruined majesty of Lucifer. The war for his soul had not ended with his fall; it had merely begun. And now, to save him from a fate worse than eternal exile, she was prepared to commit the ultimate heresy, whispering the impossible command into the roaring silence: "Help Me Carry Him Away."

The Ascension of Laney: Chapters 1-5

But then, I did see him again and with him came the secrets that would forever change all of our lives. She was only a recurring dream in my foggy subconscious. A voice. A face.

Prologue - Zac Let me put this as simple as I can - there are some things in life that exists, not for pleasure or for gain, and I am one of them. But no matter how much I wished I wasn't created this way or how alone I must always choose to be, I would never have wished I had not met her.
