Desert Road Trip: From Fes To The Sahara 

This is such an amazing, auspicious feeling, as we drive away from Fes and head off towards a little bit of the unknown, the hired Dacia Duster our companion for the next seven days, one of the most exciting parts of this entire Mediterranean journey opening up ahead of us. Also ahead of us are the Middle Atlas Mountains, looming in the haze like Earth-shackled storm clouds, goading us to take…

Hello, my request is with the theme of the daughter of Leviathan and Behemoth. Even with Poseidon, Shiva (with Parvati, Kali and Durga, of course) and Buddha.

Let's say her dragon bride was in scaling season, and she went far away, hiding even from her older brother Ziz.

She didn't want to let anyone see her, since all her scales fall off and grow fast, the problem is that her new scales are transparent and very soft.

Also, she often gathers her old scales to throw into a volcano, where humans near it discovered that the soil made crops grow faster.

So this is about her dragon bride trying to commit the perfect crime to wipe out the mountain of old scales shiny like diamonds, while her tail is full of scales that look like super soft dumplings.

-You could only stare down in horror after you woke up, finding scales littering your bed.

-Your eyes darted frantically to the calendar in your room, and you gawked, you were almost four full weeks early!!

-Every other year, your scales shed, falling off to make new scales, ones that are harder and stronger, but it was always on time, give or take a day or so, nothing like this!!

-Ziz knocked on your door, as he had heard you yelp out when you saw the scales, “Y/N, are you okay?” as if you were moving at light speed to were at the door, keeping it shut, “I’m fine! Don’t come in!”

-Your brother instantly grew concerned, hearing your frantic and panicked tone, trying to force his way in, “Y/N what’s wrong? What happened?!” the two of you were in a tug-of-war with the door.

-He finally relented, sighing deeply as he didn’t want to upset you, “Just tell me these, are you okay?” you hesitate for a moment before answer, “I will be soon! I’m going out! Don’t look for me!”

-Ziz instantly nodded, now knowing what was going on, you were molting, you had always been very private about that, when your scales would fall off, finding it embarrassing, even though he wasn’t bothered, as you’ve seen him molting his feathers plenty of times.

-Despite ‘never’ looking for you, Ziz knew exactly where you were going, as it was the same place you always went to, a large volcano that has only erupted twice in the past five thousand year, it’s always active, but is quiet.

-You went there to destroy the evidence of your shedding, throwing the scales into the volcano and you would relax there by the warmth while your new scales grew in.

-Your shed scales looked like opal, sparkling in a rainbow of colors in the sunlight, and as hard as diamonds, while the new scales growing in were transparent and soft like dumplings

-You were vulnerable during this time, which is why you hid, you’ve never been attacked, but Ziz always told you when you did shed, to hide away to protect yourself.

-You were surprised when you arrived at the volcano, finding a thriving farming civilization of humans now there, you didn’t approach, only flying up to the top and dumped in the scales you had at the moment.

-You laid down on the top lip of the caldera, a soft sigh escaping you as you basked in the warmth, soft purrs leaving you in content.

-Your mind then started to race, trying to figure out why you were so early before your mind drifted to your lover, who had been courting you for a while and your eyes widened, remembering reading somewhere in the libraries around Valhalla, that if a sudden change in a lifestyle happened, it could throw your body out of whack!

-He’s been courting you for a few months now, but here recently is when you started to get more physically affectionate, kissing, cuddling, and spending the night with him, which for you, is something totally new for you!

-You sagged against the ground beneath you, feeling a bit annoyed, but at the same time you felt sad that you didn’t get a chance to tell your lover where you were going, and this process took at least a week!

-You could only hope Ziz would tell him when he came looking for you.

-Your attention then went to the valley below you, your tail flicking around as you saw the massive farms that seemed to be flourishing with all sorts of crops.

-This village wasn’t here the last time you came to the volcano but you were pleased to see that they were surviving without having to struggle.

-While you didn’t really care about humans, you didn’t like seeing other struggle.

-You failed to hear the footsteps coming up behind you until a voice spoke, “What happened to your scales?”

-You instantly turned, teeth pulled back in a snarl, claws out and tail thrashing behind you, to defend yourself before your eyes widened, seeing your lover.

-Poseidon- You instantly flushed, trying to backpedal, “What are you doing here? Don’t look at me!” he wasn’t bothered by your anger or your embarrassment, stabbing his trident into the before approaching you and instantly wrapping his arms around you. He was surprised to feel your new scales were soft, almost jelly like before he pressed his lips against your cheek, how he normally greeted you. You had been struggling to get out of his embrace until he kissed you and you calmed, your hands on his chest before he pressed his forehead against your own, “Are you alright?” you nodded, not meeting his gaze as your face was bright red before he sat down with you in his lap, stroking your hair with one hand while the other ran across your scales gently. Poseidon didn’t tease you for shying away and trying to hide, as he knew the process was something healthy, to make new scales, mermaids went through something similar every few years so it was nothing new. His acceptance to this did relax you, leaning your head down on his shoulder as he hugged you, “I would say stay with me the next time this happens, but I think those humans are grateful for your assistance?” your confusion made him smile lightly, pressing a kiss into your hair, “Those scales of your, combined with the volcanic soil, makes for very fertile soil.” Your eyes widened at this, sparkling up at him, “Really?!” That was a day you would always remember, when you made the mighty, stoic Poseidon, laugh.

-Shiva- Your eyes widened, seeing not only Shiva, but Parvati, Kali, and Durga there as well, all looking at you with wide eyes, concern on their faces. Your face quickly flushed before you turned to run but Shiva easily caught you, pulling you back into his arms as you struggled, “No let go! I don’t want you to see me like this!” Parvati quickly took your hand in hers, halting you as you didn’t want to accidentally scratch her before Shiva spoke, speaking quietly into your ear, his breath tickling you, “Y/N, it’s fine. Calm down.” You let out a small whimper as he sat down with you in his arms and let his wives dote on you, Kali brushing your tears away from your cheeks while Durga spoke, “Do you normally shed like this?” you nodded, not really meeting their eyes, still feeling a bit shy, but Parvati cupped your cheeks, making you look at her, “Then it’s nothing to be ashamed of, Y/N. We love you for you, and if this is something that normally happens, then we want you to trust us with this. If you want to hide, hide with us!” she ended her statement with a smile which did make you feel better before you squeaked, a shivering running up your spine as Kali and Shiva were stroking the new scales on your tail, Shiva in awe, “They’re so soft! They harden over time right?” you nodded, “After about a week or so.” One of your scales fell off and Durga inspected it, holding it up, “Hmm, if you’re throwing these in, that would explain why the soil in the area is so rich. The calcium in your scales paired with the volcanic soil is very powerful fertilizer!” you were completely blank, not realizing this and you were quickly blushing, pouting as you looked away from your laughing lovers as Shiva hugged you close, pressing his lips against your cheek, nuzzling softly, but it did make you feel so happy that they were so accepting.

-Buddha- Buddha immediately lunged, as he knew you were going to try and run and he caught you, hugging you close to him, your back in his chest. You were trying to get free, but he wouldn’t let you, easily turning you before he kissed you deeply, stunning you but quickly your eyes went hazy. He pulled back, pressing his forehead against your own, his beautiful blue eyes piercing into your over his glasses, “I’m happy I found you. You didn’t tell me you were going to an island for a vacation!” you tried to find humor in his words, but when he noticed you didn’t smile, he squeezed you close, making you rest your head on his chest, to hear his heartbeat, “It’s okay, Y/N. I figured it would happen sooner or later, since you have scales.” You squeaked, pulling back in shock, your eyes wide, like this was news to you before you turned bright red, hugging him around his neck as he laughed loudly, ignoring your pouting. A shiver ran up your spine as his large hands stroked along your tail, feeling new the scales, “It feels like marshmallows!” you giggled lightly as he always seemed to compare everything with sweets or snacks and seeing you smile made him smile and he sat with you, enjoying the warmth from the volcano. He was soon laughing again at your stunned face when he told you that your scales were what was helping the soil down below, as you had no idea, you were just trying to get rid of the evidence!!

The Prophecy of Jahaziel

‘Then the Spirit of the Lord came upon Jahaziel son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, a Levite from Asaph’s descendants, as he stood in the midst of the assembly. And he said, “Listen, all you people of Judah and Jerusalem! Listen, King Jehoshaphat! This is what the Lord says: ‘Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army, for the battle does not belong to you, but to God. Tomorrow you are to march down against them. You will see them coming up the Ascent of Ziz, and you will find them at the end of the valley facing the Wilderness of Jeruel. You need not fight this battle. Take up your positions, stand firm, and see the salvation of the Lord on your behalf, O Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid or discouraged. Go out and face them tomorrow, for the Lord is with you.’” Then Jehoshaphat bowed facedown, and all the people of Judah and Jerusalem fell down before the Lord to worship Him. And the Levites from the Kohathites and Korahites stood up to praise the Lord, the God of Israel, shouting in a very loud voice.’ ‭‭2 Chronicles‬ ‭20‬:‭14‬-‭19‬

Hello from Ziz Valley! 🇲🇦⛰️💧😺🏍️

The Ziz River runs through Morocco into Algeria. The source of the river comes from the High Atlas mountains in Morocco and flows south 282 kilometers/ or 175 miles into the Sahara Desert in Algeria. Some of the river runs through rocky dry terrain, but in other areas there are lush palm trees and vegetation where whole villages live near the water source depending on it for survival.

I used the word oasis prior to my moto journey, but never truly grasped what it meant until I came to Morocco. Imagine you are riding through land so arid that no matter how much water you drink, you always feel dehydrated. If a car runs over some dried mud, it kicks up dust and you are soon covered in it and breathe it all in, skin, nose and eyes. But alas, your eyes detect blue. And the contrast of this color against the brown landscape is such a joy to your body. To be able to see color, take in the contrast and comprehend life comes from it is such an interesting deduction process.

Are we dusty enough yet?

The tour from Marrakech began with a scenic drive, revealing the breathtaking landscapes and historical sites, such as the Taourirt Kasbah in Ouarzazate and the Valley of the Roses. The beauty of El Kelaa des M’Gouna and Boumalene du Dades, nestled in the Dades Valley, was awe-inspiring. I spent the night in a charming local guesthouse, eagerly anticipating the adventures ahead.

Day 2: Dades Valley – Merzouga via Todra Gorge After a hearty breakfast, I left Boumalene Dades, heading towards Merzouga. The journey through the Berber village of Tinghir and the majestic Todra Gorge was simply stunning. Lunch at Tinjdad or Rissani introduced me to the delicious Berber pizza. Arriving in Merzouga, I embarked on a memorable camel trek into the Erg Chebbi dunes. The evening in the Nomadic camp, with dinner and entertainment around the campfire, was magical.

Day 4: The Merzouga Desert – Fes Waking up to the desert sunrise was breathtaking. After breakfast, I rode back on my camel, and we began our journey to Fes. The route took us through the picturesque Ziz Valley and the Mid Atlas Mountains. A stop in Azrou allowed me to see North African monkeys in their natural habitat. We arrived in Fes and settled into our Riad, ready to explore this historic city.

Day 5: Explore Fes – Volubilis – Meknes – Fes The day started with a visit to the ancient Roman ruins of Volubilis, a fascinating archaeological site. The journey continued to Meknes, an imperial city from the 17th century, where I marveled at the medina’s historical walls and the grand Bab El Mansour gate. Returning to Fes, I reflected on the rich history and culture I had witnessed.

Day 6: Fes – Chefchaouen (Blue City) Driving north through the Rif Mountains, I arrived in Chefchaouen, a town renowned for its stunning blue-tinted houses.

Whether you're seeking a short getaway or an extensive exploration, a desert trip from Fes promises a memorable experience filled with stunning vistas, cultural encounters, and serene moments under the stars.

The Journey Begins: Departing from Fes The journey typically begins with an early morning departure from Fes, a city renowned for its medieval medina, labyrinthine alleys, and historic sites. As you leave the bustling city behind, the landscape gradually transforms from urban sprawl to rolling hills and rugged mountains. The drive towards the Sahara is an adventure in itself, offering glimpses of Morocco's diverse topography and charming Berber villages.

Discovering the Middle Atlas Mountains One of the highlights of the journey is the passage through the Middle Atlas Mountains. This scenic route features lush cedar forests, picturesque valleys, and the charming town of Ifrane, often referred to as "Little Switzerland" for its European-style architecture and pristine surroundings. The drive continues through the Ziz Valley, where date palms and kasbahs dot the landscape, providing a glimpse into traditional Moroccan life.

Arriving in Merzouga: Gateway to the Sahara After traversing the stunning landscapes of the Middle Atlas, travelers arrive in Merzouga, a small village on the edge of the Sahara Desert. Merzouga is famous for its towering sand dunes, some of which reach heights of over 150 meters. These dunes, known as Erg Chebbi, provide the perfect backdrop for a desert adventure.

Embracing the Desert Experience Camel Trekking A quintessential part of any Sahara trip is a camel trek across the golden dunes. Riding atop these gentle giants, visitors can traverse the undulating sands, experiencing the timeless beauty of the desert. The trek often leads to a secluded campsite nestled among the dunes, where travelers can immerse themselves in the serene ambiance of the Sahara.

DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR DECEMBER 19, 2023

All My Might

By Catherine Kwao (Greater Accra Region, Ghana)

READ 2 CHRONICLES 20:13-22

"David danced before the Lord with all his might."

2 SAMUEL 6:14 (KJV)

"On the last day of the school term, I went to my daughter’s class. The teacher had turned on a radio to entertain the children. Most of them were sitting and swaying their little bodies to the music. Then a very popular Christian song began to play, and the children jumped up from their desks. Gleefully they began singing along and dancing in unison. They all knew the dance moves for that particular song.

I was fascinated as I observed how one song could immediately change the atmosphere from calm to full of energy. I thought about the power of music and how in 2 Samuel 6:14-16, David “danced before the Lord with all his might” as he brought the ark of the Lord to Jerusalem. I remembered also how Jehoshaphat appointed people to sing and praise the Lord, which changed the outcome of the battle they were facing. (See 2 Chron. 20:21)

From that day forward, as I offer my praise to God each day during my prayer time, peace and assurance flood my soul. I feel God’s presence and see God acting in my life whenever I worship through songs of praise. This thought keeps me joyful throughout the day and gives me assurance that God is always with me." Songs of praise put us in a frame of mind where we feel so attached to Jesus. The lyrics just reaffirm what we always feel in our heart. It just multiplies so we truly feel it in a deep and passionate way.

TODAY'S PRAYER

"Dear God, help us to appreciate the importance of glorifying your holy name. We sing our heartfelt gratitude to you." Amen.

2 Chronicles 20:13-22

"'13 All Judah was standing before the LORD, even their little ones, wives, and children. 14 Then the LORD’s spirit came upon Jahaziel son of Zechariah son of Benaiah son of Jeiel son of Mattaniah, a Levite of the line of Asaph, as he stood in the middle of the assembly. 15 “Pay attention, all of Judah, every inhabitant of Jerusalem, and King Jehoshaphat,” Jahaziel said. “This is what the LORD says to you: Don’t be afraid or discouraged by this great army because the battle isn’t yours. It belongs to God! 16 March out against them tomorrow. Since they will be coming through the Ziz pass, meet them at the end of the valley that opens into the Jeruel wilderness. 17 You don’t need to fight this battle. Just take your places, stand ready, and watch how the LORD, who is with you, will deliver you, Judah and Jerusalem. Don’t be afraid or discouraged! Go out tomorrow and face them. The LORD will be with you.” 18 Then Jehoshaphat bowed down with his face to the ground, and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell before the LORD in worship. 19 Levites from the lines of Kohath and Korah stood up to loudly praise the LORD, the God of Israel. 20 Early the next morning they went into the Tekoa wilderness. When they were about to go out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, “Listen to me, Judah and every inhabitant of Jerusalem! Trust the LORD your God, and you will stand firm; trust his prophets and succeed!” 21 After consulting with the people, Jehoshaphat appointed musicians to play for the LORD, praising his majestic holiness. They were to march out before the warriors, saying, “Give thanks to the LORD because his faithful love lasts forever!” 22 As they broke into joyful song and praise, the LORD launched a surprise attack against the Ammonites, the Moabites, and those from Mount Seir who were invading Judah, so that they were defeated."' Praise the Lord in His holiness and give Him the appropriate thanks for being totally faithful and with you always. Bless you this day! Joe
