He never said it would be easy, but he did say he would always be with us. This is my story, my faith, as I learn to trust my God, Lord, and Savior. I think, I'll just try to update on a daily basis, kind of like a journal for the deeper truth that I'm learning from my devotionals. I'm not entirely sure what it's going to be, but it might end up just being a devotional book. Hopefully, I'll tell you about what I'm learning... This will give me some incentive to read my bible every day, and I hope to share what I'm learning with all of you guys.

Color Added
I recall how my sister and I used to recite a little poem together as we gazed up at the big, star-studded, Kansas night sky together. "Star, light, star bright, First star I see tonight, I wish I may, I wish I might, Have this wish I wish tonight" She used to tickle me until I would tell her what I had wished for. You know what? God heard my boyish wish upon a star and granted me a life filled with adventure. If you ask me why He chose to grant my wish, I'd say it was so that I could share my adventures with others. Now, you may expect that, as Mark Twain said, my stories have at least an element of truth, but that I've added a lot of color - truth be told, they are more flavor than fact. I expect that my brother is right when he says that I've added so much color so as to make the stories mostly fiction. I hope you can tolerate this.Complete
Auras
"Some things are worse than death." Keep your head down. Don't cause a scene. And never make friends. These are the rules I have to live by to survive. After Vykens, mutated and soulless vampires killed my parents, I know they will come for me next. As an Aura, I can manipulate the light within me, the same ancient light Vykens feed on. It's supposed to be a sacred power, one used only for good and to help others. But if I want to survive, I'll have to defy the Auran Council and learn to use my rare ability as a weapon. Now I'm caught in something even bigger than I can understand, with a power I can't wield, and no one I can trust, except, just maybe, a mysterious stranger who's captured my heart, making him the biggest danger of all.Complete
Save Me
I was drowning. I knew that. I also knew that the hands around my throat, pushing me deeper into the river water was the cause. What I didn't know was who was drowning me and why. It hurt thinking. It hurt to do anything right now. But I still screamed under the cold water and pushed the hands away as hard as I could. It didn't have much effect. I fought and fought, but I was getting weaker, and colder. The pain was overbearing. I couldn't breathe. It was the worst pain imaginable; and as the hands that were around my neck were forcibly ripped off by some unknown force, I slipped deeper into the depths of the river. My hair was straight above me along with my arms. My eyes were open and the water burned. A darkness started to pull me under, taking the pain away. I felt a small pressure around my waist, before the darkness completely consumed me. The last thing I remember is thinking, save me.Complete
Forever
Unable to age, unable to die. So many people want me, but they can't have me. They want to experiment on me and use my blood to make more people like me. They want an army, an army that will take over humanity. An army that will end the world. I am a fighter, I work alone. But I have more problems then just them chasing me to worry about. I'm looking for something, wanting to be someone else, I'm hunting for my freedom. I don't want this, I don't want this life. This live and never die or age crap, I'm done with it. I can never love a man because we won't die old together, I want freedom from this. I walk around everyday seeing families, happy and smiling; it kills me inside. I want that, but I can't have that. I can't have that because of this curse, because of this group of people trying to catch me, use me. I may be human but we all know I'm beyond important. Others think it's incredible!

True Reflection
Life is not always simple, it's complex, complicated and intense with adventures. The flow of life depends on how we handle our emotions and relationships, since they are equally sensitive as a plant, because both require growth and care with sweetness. Sometimes, there are moments when we get influenced by our environment which later affects our actions on certain decisions and understandings. It's better not to stress out by thinking about your future but enjoying and living in our present, because it's the only thing that's going to make a difference on our tomorrow. Life is full of exams that involves heart connections and emotional lessons, in other words, it's a game of heart that does not require the use of brain so do listen to your heart because it can never be wrong. There are times when we are confused and trying to find our way, but somehow in the middle, we lose hope and eventually end by giving up. One thing we all must remember is that "nothing is tough", you just need a mind set and then no one can beat you unless you want them too! How would it be if you would have gotten a life that I am living? Facing all the obstacles and suffocating mornings. Believe me, it isn't easy and definitely not manageable by everyone because they haven't gone through what I had.Complete

Fighting for what was right was always hard for those who were born and raised in the shadows, but they learn. They have to find that one something or someone that they are willingly going to die for, fight for. If you have someone you love to the edge of the world and would do this for them, make sure you give them your all. I've learned that from my one and only and this is something you can't read in any book you either have to find this out for yourself or through experience.Complete

The experiment.
They used my vulnerability against me. They used that weapon, to make me accept their stupid idea. And I of course, accepted it, I didn't even know what they were going to do. They tugged and poked and even shoved their disgusting finger in your wound, just to see you cry. To see you change. No pitty in their eyes. They just continue. They drag you around with metal chains, hit you and turn you into a experiment.

Get God's Best: A 15 Day Devotional
People are interested in power. There's white power. There's black power. There's political power. There's solar power. There's nuclear power. There's horsepower. I'm writing here about supernormal power, the most sought after power known to man. This devotional is intended to be consumed as an invocation of supernormal power in your life, here and now. This invocation of supernormal power is a result of a three phase process of 1) positioning yourself to hear from God, 2) going in God's direction, and 3) experiencing God's best. The power comes through cooperating with God or partnering with Holy Spirit. To access this supernormal power so you can give it away, use it for a higher purpose, and grow it in relationships, without hoarding it, and without using it for selfish ends, like Jesus did, you must position yourself to hear from God so you can go in God's direction, and ultimately experience God's best. Special message from the author: My hope is two weeks from now you'll be on the fast-track of developing a pattern in your life of positioning yourself to hear from God, going in God's direction, and experiencing God's best. What God wants will become more clear to you. You'll become more concerned about what God wants than what you want, and when you hear from God, you'll be more likely to respond in obedience, and be blessed as a result. Fifteen days seems less daunting than 30. You might have even thought, I can commit to 15 days. No big deal! Maybe you'd like to invite 2-3 friends to complete this devotional with you. "The fifteen days" can easily become 15 weeks (3-4 months) for a small group. Pastoral leaders, this content takes about three to 6 months to preach/teach through. You've got 15+ sermons here.Complete
