However, the Capellan people have fought dearly for their prize and will do anything in their power to hold onto it.

But not all Falcons follow Malvina’s lead. Ordered to take Coventry at any cost, Galaxy Commander Stephanie Chistu wishes to see her Clan victorious, but no victory is worth the Jade Falcons losing their very soul.

I don't believe in coincidence, I believe everything that happens is God ordained, and happens for a reason. My daughters always remind me I could teach a lesson from a rock. Even the whole world reveals God's creation, and if we remain silent, the rocks will cry out proclaiming the glory of God. You are one of the greatest glories God ever created. We are created in God's image, and for his glory. Seeking God Daily is a devotional written to encourage and strengthen your walk with God. I put a scripture that spoke to me with each picture I took through the year and wrote a devotional to go with the scripture. Maybe you've drifted farther away from God than you intended too. Perhaps you feel stranded and bogged down in your life today. Just as an artist paints a masterpiece, or wood worker can turn a piece of wood into a work of art. God, the great creator, can turn you into a work of art as well. God isn't finished with you yet! God sees beauty where no one else does.
